Abstract:
A water pocket with an open top side is filled with water, mounted in a regular position on a supporting frame, and tilts to supply the water stored in the water pocket to an ice making tray, thereby easily supplying a required amount of water to the ice making tray. A refrigerator includes an ice making tray provided to linearly move with rotation when ice of the ice making tray is separated, or includes a holding preventing member which prevents the ice from being caught by a lower ice making tray, thereby improving a forward-and-backward width of an ice maker. It is possible to easily withdraw ice stored in an ice bucket by pushing an ice discharge button in a state in which the ice bucket is not separated.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a cooking apparatus capable of cooking a plurality of cooking materials using a heat transfer regulator having a plurality of regions in which a reflectance against heat generated by a heater is variable, and a controlling method thereof. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a cooking apparatus includes at least one heater and a heat transfer regulator provided to face the at least one heater and provided with a plurality of regions each having a different reflectance against heat generated by the at least one heater.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a humidifying apparatus which may be prevented from being contaminated. A humidifying apparatus comprises a water tank configured to store water, a filter assembly configured to filter the water stored in the water tank and a humidifying assembly configured to perform humidification by absorbing and vaporizing the water filtered by the filter assembly, a drain flow passage provided at a lower surface of the humidifying assembly, wherein residual water remaining after being absorbed in the humidifying assembly is recovered in the water tank via the drain flow passage, and a guide rib configured to guide the water recovered in the water tank is provided in the water tank.
