HEATING APPARATUS AND FURNITURE AND WALL MEMBER INCORPORATING HEATING APPARATUS

To provide a heating apparatus which is good in the matching property when incorporated into a cabinet etc. without degrading the usability of a heating apparatus itself. The heating apparatus is configured by a lid 4 which opens and closes a heating chamber 3, a control portion 5 which controls a heating unit and an operation portion 6 which controls the driving of the heating unit. The operation portion 6 is configured by being provided with electrostatic switches at the inner side of a semi-transparent member and is also configured in a manner that the operation portion is illuminated and placed in a state of accepting a switch operation when the semi-transparent member is touched. The operation portion normally cannot be seen from the outside and so the apparatus is good in the matching property with furniture etc. when incorporated into a cabinet etc. Further, when a user touches the semi-transparent member at the time of service, the operation portion is illuminated and placed in the state of accepting the switch operation. Thus, the apparatus can be used in the similar manner as the conventional apparatuses without degrading usablity.
