Abstract:
A wall-mounted microwave oven, comprising:a hood unit including a hood motor; a magnetron; a transformer including a primary coil and at least one secondary coil, the transformer for generating a high voltage in a corresponding turn ratio of the primary coil and the at least one secondary coil and for supplying the high voltage generated to the magnetron; a hood unit driver for controlling an operation of the hood unit; a power output switching means for controlling a level of a voltage to be supplied to the transformer; and a controller for controlling the power output switching means to control the level of the voltage to be supplied to the transformer according to a given operation mode of the hood motor of the hood unit, whereby a sum of a power output of the microwave oven and a power output of the hood motor of the hood unit is constant during any given operation mode of the hood motor of the hood unit.
