<p>Provided is an induction cooking appliance wherein air which has cooled the heat generating components is discharged to atmosphere outside the main body in such a manner that the readmission of discharged air through the admission port is reduced. The direction of the flow of cooling wind which has cooled the heat generating components is changed within the main body, and the cooling wind is discharged through an exhaust port (21) outside a first peripheral wall (19). The flow of cooling wind is straightened within the main body so that the flow reaches a certain level of flow rate when discharged through the exhaust port (21), with the result that the cooling wind is discharged in a particular flow direction and hence the readmission of discharged air through the admission port (20) is reduced. As a result, the induction cooking appliance is not much affected by obstacles at the exhaust port and can be used with a kitchen cabinet having the admission and exhaust ports on the rear side thereof, meaning that the user is not exposed to unpleasant exhaust gases and can be in a comfortable kitchen environment and that the induction cooking appliance is relatively unlikely to fail.</p>
