When the start key 5 is pressed when the cooking settings are completed, cooking starts and is counted as one MED power cooking.

The same applies to other cooking modes. FIG. 6 shows a method of calling up the number of times of cooking and a display example. To find out how many times DEF cooking has been executed, first press the cooking key 404. As for the display, the number display section 305 and the cooking mode display section 309 light up, as in the case of the DEF cooking setting.

(FIG. 6(a)) Next, when the cooking number display key is pressed, the cooking mode 309 is displayed on the display tube 8, and the cumulative total up to that point is displayed on the numerical display section 305. Figure 6 (bl is 120
This indicates that DEF cooking has been performed twice. The number of times of cooking for other cooking modes can also be found through the same procedure.

Next, FIG. 7 will be explained. When the number of cooking times display key 4 is pressed, three types of cooking modes and the number of times of cooking are displayed on the display tube 8 in order of frequency of use. (Figure 7(a)~
(C)) Finally, the total number of uses, including cooking modes that were not displayed, is displayed.

71.(FIG. 7(di) The above operations are performed by a microcomputer, and a specific program for realizing each means will be explained using a flowchart.

FIG. 8 is a program flow for cooking settings.

Load the key human power with Pl. Next, it is determined whether it was a numeric key at P2, and if Yes, go to P4, and NO.
If so, proceed to P3. In P3, it is determined whether or not the manual key was the cooking key; if Yes, proceed to P7; if No, proceed to the next step.

At P7, it is determined whether cooking settings are currently being made, and if the answer is No, the process proceeds to the next step. If Yes, the mode is set to cooking setting mode in P8, and the output corresponding to the input cooking key is set in P9, and the process proceeds to the next step. In P4, it is determined whether or not the cooking setting mode is set, and if YES, proceed to P5, and if NO, proceed to the next program. In P5, the cooking time is set, and the process proceeds to P6, where the cooking setting mode is set, which means that the cooking settings are completed. The above program accomplishes cooking settings using the cooking keys 401 to 404 and the numerical keys 405 to 414.

FIG. 9 shows a program flow for storing the number of cooking times for each set cooking using the method shown in FIG. 8. In Plo, it is determined whether the start key 5 is present, and if not, the program proceeds to the next program. Yes
If so, it is determined in Pll whether cooking has already been set, and if Yes, the process advances to Pl2. If no, proceed to the next program. In Pl2, according to the currently set cooking mode, the number of cooking times for each cooking mode plus 1 is set as the new number of cooking times, and in Pl3, the total number of cooking times plus 1 is set as the new total number of cooking times. Proceed to the next step.

FIG. 10 is a program flow for outputting the number of times of cooking. At Pl4, it is determined whether or not there is a cooking number display key. If yes, Pl5, if no, P
Proceed to l8. At P18, it is determined whether or not the cooking key has been input, and if the answer is Yes, the process goes to P19, and if the answer is No, the process goes to the next program. At Pl9, go to 9 to set the cooking key for one person, and exit to the next step. In I'M5, see if you are the cooking key person. If YES, go to P16; if NO, go to P2O. Since the process proceeds to Pl6 when the cooking number display key is pressed after pressing the cooking key, it is necessary to display the number of cooking times for each cooking mode. Therefore, in P16, the number of cooking times for each cooking mode is set, and in P17, the number of times of cooking is displayed, and the program moves on to the next program. P2O is a case where only the cooking number display P- is pressed, so set the mode and number display in order from the mode with the largest number of cooking times, set the total number of times display at P21, and proceed to the next program. .

FIG. 11 shows a program for realizing the control means 7. First, in P22, it is determined whether or not the total number of times display is to be set. If Yes, proceed to P27, and if No, proceed to P23. When setting to display the total number of times, the number of times of cooking is displayed first in descending order of the number of times of cooking, and then the total number of times of cooking is displayed at the end. Therefore, in P27, determine whether or not to display by final cooking mode.
If O., set the number of times for each cooking mode in P2B and return to page P2710. If Yes, proceed to P29, set the total number of times of cooking, and proceed to P25. In P23, it is determined whether the setting is to display the number of times for each cooking mode, and if Yes, the number of times of cooking in the called cooking mode is set to be displayed in P2O, and the process proceeds to P25. N.

If so, depending on whether or not cooking settings are in progress on P24, select Y.
If es, display settings for the cooking contents being set are performed in P26, and the process proceeds to P25. In P31, the display during cooking is set, and in P25, P31.

The contents set in P26, P2O, P29, and P28 are displayed and output, and the process advances to P32. P32 determines whether the start key 5 has been input.

If Yes, in P33, an intermittent signal is output to the relay 9 to oscillate the magnetron 10, and the program proceeds to the next program.
