A microwave oven having the control panel mounted on the door. The control panel includes a plurality of pushbutton switches for the user to push to control the speed, time, etc. for variable cooking in the microwave oven. The switches communicate to an electronic controller also mounted on the door. The controller converts user input into signals that control the various operating components of the oven, such as the magnetron. The controller is connected with these components via a flexible printed circuit cable which bridges the space between the door and the oven near or through the hinge area of the oven.
