It comprises a control unit 40 provided in the rear of the top burner unit 20 in order to.

      The top burner unit 20 is provided with an electric burner 21 for heating foods placed on the upper surface thereof, and the control unit 40 operates the display 41 and the oven range for displaying the operating state of the oven range. A series of operating knobs 42 for adjusting the pressure are provided. The drawer unit 30 is provided in the form of a drawer, therein may be a separate heater is installed to warm the cooked food, or to make simple cooking.

      The oven unit 10 is to cook food by heat convection, and is defined by the top plate 51, the bottom plate 52, both side plates (not shown), and the back plate 53, as shown in FIG. 3. It has a cooking chamber 50 and an oven door 60 for opening and closing the open front of the cooking chamber 50.

      The fan cover 11 is coupled to the outside of the rear plate 53 so that the convection fan 12 for circulating the air in the cooking chamber 50 is built in. An electric heater 13 is installed at the outer circumference of the convection fan 12, and a fan motor 14 for driving the convection fan 12 is installed at the rear of the fan cover 11.

      In the vicinity of the center of the rear plate 53 facing the convection fan 12, a plurality of suction holes 53a are formed to suck air in the cooking chamber, and the edge of the rear plate 53 can supply heat into the cooking chamber. A plurality of discharge holes 53b are formed to be.

      As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the oven door 60 has a front panel 61 and a rear panel 62, which form its front exterior and rear exterior, respectively. Openings 61a and 62a are formed at the centers of the front panel 61 and the rear panel 62, and the user observes the inside of the cooking chamber 50 through the oven door 60 in the openings 61a and 62a. Perspective windows 70 are installed so as to be able to do so. The rear viewing window 71 installed on the rear panel 62 is made of a pair of heat reflecting glass that reflects the heat generated from the cooking chamber 50 back to the inside of the cooking chamber 50 to prevent leakage of heat. The front sight window 72 installed on the front panel 61 is made of heat-resistant tempered glass so that it is not easily deformed by heat transmitted from the cooking chamber 50.
