Disclosed is a wall mounted microwave oven and a control method therefo r, including a body forming a cooking cavity for accommodating food to be cooke d, a magnetron for generating electromagnetic waves to be provided into the cooki ng cavity, a casing surrounding the body and forming therein a hood duct having an inle t port positioned at the bottom portion of the casing and an outlet port positioned in the upper portion thereof, and a hood fan installed in the hood duct. The wall mounted microwave oven includes a switch for selecting one out of a low-level voltage and a normal voltage supplied to said magnetron and a controller for controlling the swit ch in such a manner that the low-level voltage is supplied to the magnetron when the hood fan operates during the magnetron operates with the normal voltage, and simultaneously extending remaining cooking time by a predetermined rate. Accordingly, the wall mounted microwave oven changes the normal voltage supplied to the magnetron into the low-level voltage and extends cooking time, to thereby efficiently cook the food, in the case that the hood fan and the hood electric lamp operates simultaneousl y.
