A cooking appliance includes a cavity, a heater disposed below the cavity, and a heater installation member provided to mount the heater, wherein the heater installation member includes a first heater installation member provided below the cavity so that the heater is detachable therefrom, and a second heater installation member detachably coupled to a rear portion of the first heater installation member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cooking appliance comprising:
a cavity; a heater disposed below the cavity; and a heater installation member to mount the heater, the heater installation member including:
a first heater installation member provided below the cavity so that the heater is attachable to or detachable from the first heater installation member; and
a second heater installation member attachable to or detachable from a rear portion of the first heater installation member.

2 . The cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the second heater installation member is inclined at a rear end of the first heater installation member.

3 . The cooking appliance of claim 2 , wherein the second heater installation includes a heater installation hole formed to be at least partially perforated.

4 . The cooking appliance of claim 2 , wherein the first heater installation member includes a bottom surface provided below the cavity, side surfaces formed to be bent upward from both sides of the bottom surface, and a rear surface extending to be inclined upward from a rear end of the bottom surface and having a second heater installation member installation hole formed by at least a portion thereof cut away.

5 . The cooking appliance of claim 4 , wherein a slope of the rear surface is substantially identical to a slope of the second heater installation member.

6 . The cooking appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a case provided outside the cavity and one or more fans provided between the cavity and the case,
wherein a cooling flow path formed by the one or more fans is provided between the cavity and the case.

7 . The cooking appliance of claim 6 , wherein the second heater installation member is provided to isolate the cooling flow path from the heater.

8 . The cooking appliance of claim 4 , further comprising a heater cover formed of an insulating material and provided so that the heater is coupled between the cavity and the first heater installation member.

9 . The cooking appliance of claim 8 , wherein
the heater cover includes a heater guide formed so that the heater is seated thereon, and the heater guide is formed to be open in a direction in which the heater is withdrawn.

10 . The cooking appliance of claim 6 , wherein the case includes one or more partitions configured to partition the cooling flow path.

11 . The cooking appliance of claim 4 , wherein the second heater installation member further includes a sealing member provided at the heater installation hole.

12 . The cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the cavity includes:
