A built-in cooking appliance is provided. The built-in cooking appliance includes a body frame of a main body, a heating body, a top plate, a cabinet, a support in a contact space between the cabinet and the top plate, and a plurality of channels provided in the support. The top plate is disposed in an upper portion of the body frame to support a dishware to be heated. The cabinet supports the top plate. The plurality of holes are provided in the support to discharge air flowing out from the body frame. A size of each of the channels is small enough to prevent flow of water while allowing flow of air. Accordingly, cooling efficiency, safety and convenience of the built-in cooking appliance in using and cleaning it can be improved.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A built-in cooking appliance comprising:
 a body frame of a main body;   a heating body in the body frame;   a top plate disposed in an upper portion of the body frame to support a dishware to be heated;   a cabinet configured to support the top plate;   a support in a contact space between the cabinet and the top plate; and   a plurality of channels provided in the support to discharge air flowing out from the body frame, a size of each of the channels being small enough to prevent flow of water while allowing flow of air.   
   
   
       2 . The built-in cooking appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the support contacts the cabinet and the top plate. 
   
   
       3 . The built-in cooking appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the support contacts a top surface of the cabinet and a bottom surface of the top plate. 
   
   
       4 . The built-in cooking appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the support contacts at least a side surface of the cabinet and a side surface of the top plate.
