A cabinet (24) for enclosing a heating apparatus such as a microwave oven is disclosed. The cabinet (24) encloses the body (11) of the heating apparatus and is held on a room wall. An air flow path (30) is formed between the apparatus body (11) and the cabinet (24). The cabinet (24) has an inlet (33) in its lower front and an outlet (34) in its upper front. A transverse fan (35) is disposed in the air flow path (30). Side plates (24d, 24e) of the cabinet (24) are protruded rearwards such that a space (S) is defined between the rear wall (24b) and the room wall. A suction opening (36) is formed in the rear wall (24b) of the cabinet (24) to correspond to suction apertures (21) of the component chamber (13). When a cooling fan (20) and the fan (35) are driven, outside air is drawn in through the inlet (33) and the suction opening (36) so that electrical components in the component chamber (13) are sufficiently cooled by the air. <IMAGE> |
