[0003] In the prior art, the hot air system is usually arranged at the top of the heating chamber, and the heating component in the hot air system is located below the fan. The hot air system drives the air in the main body to form an airflow, which is directly blown to the heating chamber after passing through the heating component to process the food in the heating chamber. In the arrangement of the hot air system, the heating component is arranged as a coil pipe, and the fan is located on one side of the coil pipe, that is, the airflow is transported from one side of the coil pipe to the other side.
