The upper peripheral edge of the window portion 17 is chamfered so as to reduce the level difference between the upper surface of the panel 16 and the upper surface of the glass plate 18 .

[0029] On the upper surface of the glass plate 18 of the operation part 16 such as image 3As shown, a plurality of flags corresponding to the operation of each of the burners 11 and 12 are provided. Hereinafter, the respective flags will be briefly described. 22 denotes a group of operation indication flags for the left burner for igniting or extinguishing the left burner 11 and adjusting the intensity of the fire, and 23 denotes the group of igniting or extinguishing the right burner 12 and the intensity of the fire. Set of action indicators for weakly regulated right burners. In addition, in the vicinity of the left burner operation indicator group 22, an operation indicator 24 that lights up when the left burner 11 operates, and a fire indicator 25 corresponding to the adjusted fire are provided; In the vicinity of the group 23, there are provided an operation display 26 that lights up when the right burner 12 operates, and a fire display 27 that lights according to the adjusted fire. In addition, between the left burner operation instruction flag group 22 and the right burner operation instruction flag group 23, an operation switch flag 28 for switching whether or not to operate the furnace 1 with the power turned on is provided. In the vicinity of the operation switch flag 28 , an operation possible display 29 and an operation impossible display 30 which are turned on in accordance with the operation of the operation switch flag 28 are provided.

[0030] The operation substrate unit 19 is as figure 2 As shown, a plurality of capacitive touch switches 31 that operate in accordance with each of the above-mentioned signs, and a plurality of LEDs 32 that light up each display are provided. Each capacitive touch switch 31 performs an on/off operation corresponding to each mark when an electrostatic body touches each mark on the upper surface of the glass plate 18 . The operation board unit 19 is connected to a control unit 33 provided at the bottom of the furnace main body 3 , and the operation of the burners 11 and 12 corresponding to each operation is controlled by the control unit 33 . In addition, in this embodiment, although the capacitive touch switch 31 is used, since the glass plate 18 is used in the window portion 17, the capacitive touch switch 31 may be replaced with an infrared sensing touch switch. .

[0031] In summary, according to the stove 1 of the present embodiment, even if the panel 6 is made of a thick aluminum plate, the glass plate 18 is provided on a part of the panel as the operation part 16 , so the capacitive touch type can be used. Switch 31 (or infrared sensing touch switch). Moreover, by providing the glass plate 18 in the operation part 16, even if the temperature of the panel 6 rises, the glass plate 18 of the operation part 16 is hard to become high temperature, and it can operate comfortably. Moreover, since the upper surface of the panel 6 is maintained in a flat shape, it is possible to obtain a good visual sense of stability and smoothness. In addition, since the operation part 16 is provided on the panel 6, not only the operability is high, but the operation part 16 does not protrude from the panel 6 like a conventional operation knob, so cooking and cleaning are not hindered.

[0032] In addition, in the present embodiment, although the operation portion 16 is located at a position approximately in the center of the front edge side of the panel 6, the position of the operation portion 16 is not limited to this, and although not shown, for example, in consideration of ease of use , can also be appropriately arranged at positions such as the right edge or the left edge of the selection panel 6 .

[0033] In addition, although the panel 6 which consists of a thick aluminum plate is shown in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the panel 34 which consists of an aluminum extrusion material other than an aluminum plate may be used. The panel 34 is composed of a panel body 35 having a square shape in plan view, and cover members 36 attached to the open sides of the panel body 35 on the left and right sides, respectively. The panel main body 35 has a flat top surface portion 37 and a plurality of protruding pieces 38 and 39 protruding from the lower surface of the top surface portion 37. 37 formed as one. The outermost protruding pieces 39 located in the front and rear are hanged down from the front and rear sides of the top surface portion 37 to form outer side walls. Moreover, the operation part 16 is provided between a pair of protrusion pieces 38 and 38 formed inside. The operation part 16 has the same structure as the above-mentioned embodiment, and is also constituted by the window part 17 , the glass plate 18 , and the operation board unit 19 . In particular, the operation board unit 19 is accommodated between the pair of protruding pieces 38 and 38 . positioned in between.

[0034] In this way, the panel 34 formed of the aluminum extruded material can obtain sufficient rigidity through the protruding pieces 38 and 39, so that it can be formed into a relatively thin plate, and the weight can be reduced, so that the material cost can be reduced. Low cost to implement. In addition, by having the projecting piece 39, the board can be seen as if it has a certain thickness, so that it is lightweight and a sense of stability can be obtained.

[0035] In addition, in the present embodiment, the metal plate material constituting the above-mentioned panels 6 and 34 may be a plate material that has been subjected to surface treatment such as coating, coating, or fine unevenness processing.
