The present invention relates to a device and method for displaying
various menus of a microwave oven onto one screen. In the present
invention, the various menus can be displayed onto one screen by using a
tree structure or window structure. To this end, display control data are
stored such that the various menus can be displayed in the form of the
tree structure or display window. These display control data are stored
in a separately provided storage device. According to the present
invention constructed as such, since the user can confirm the various
functions of the microwave oven on the same screen at one time, there is
an advantage in that trials and errors made when using the microwave oven
can be minimized. In addition, since all the functions can be confirmed
simultaneously, there are further advantages in that the time required
for learning how to use the microwave oven is reduced and function
selection can be conveniently made.
