ABSTRACT:
A microwave oven and a method of controlling the same that is capable of detecting the respective positions of heaters using detectors for which a number thereof is less than a number of cooking modes. Cooking is performed with the heaters in respective horizontal positions in a cooking mode in which cooking requiring the heaters to heat food is performed, while cooking is performed with the heaters positioned in the respective initial positions in a cooking mode in which the cooking not requiring the heaters to heat the food is performed. Each of the detectors is a micro switch operated by a cam. Accordingly, in the microwave oven and in the method of controlling the same, the number of the detectors to detect the respective positions of the heaters is decreased. Further, an electrical wire is connected to a single micro switch to detect the respective positions of the heaters.
