Abstract

A built-in heating cooker which features both good cooling performance and effective countermeasures against spilled liquids by preventing ingress of water into the cooker body with a simple ventilation structure. This built-in cooker comprises a top plate where a pot and the like are placed, a support for supporting the top plate from underneath, a top frame covering the edge of the top plate and a frame constituting the cooker body. The support has a cooker-supporting face for supporting the cooker, and this is positioned outside of the top plate-supporting face. A first opening is provided on at least one side wall provided between the top plate-supporting face and the cooker-supporting face. A second opening is provided on a frame in a position corresponding to the first opening.

Claims (25)

1. A built-in heating cooker comprising:

a top plate;

a support supporting the top plate from underneath, the support including a top plate-supporting face contacting the top plate, and a cooker-supporting face contacting a cabinet;

a top frame covering an edge of the top plate; and

a frame constituting a cooker body, the frame having a flange disposed over the cabinet;

wherein the support has the cooker-supporting face, the cooker-supporting face being positioned outside of the top plate-supporting face and the flange;

a first opening is provided on at least one side wall disposed between the top plate-supporting face and the cooker-supporting face; and

a second opening is provided on the top frame in a position corresponding to the first opening at a predetermined distance.

2. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 1 , wherein a sealing material is applied on an entire circumference of a bottom face of the cooker-supporting face of the support.

3. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 1 , wherein a wall is provided on a periphery of the cooker-supporting face of the support.

4. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 3 , wherein a sealing material is applied on an entire circumference of a bottom face of the cooker-supporting face of the support.

5. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 1 , wherein the side wall is provided underneath the top plate.

6. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 5 , wherein a sealing material is applied on an entire circumference of a bottom face of the cooker-supporting face of the support.

7. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 5 , wherein a wall is provided on a periphery of the cooker-supporting face of the support.

8. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 7 , wherein a sealing material is applied on an entire circumference of a bottom face of the cooker-supporting face of the support.

9. The built-in heating cooker as defined in claim 1 , wherein the flange is provided on a periphery of the frame;
