What are the ventilation requirements? I'm trying to determine if it can be used safely in an open cupboard.

There us an intake fan pulling air in Bach on the right, and out flow venting on the left side of the unit which spans about 3/4 of the left side, from back towards front. Front to back is 14" deep 21" left to right. The side vent comes 8.5" from back of unit. Hope this helps you. Tom.

The installation guide that is contained in the instruction manual reads: For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8" of space above the microwave, 4" at the back, and 2" on each side of the unit. I hope that this helps you! Best, Steve Antrasian

I don't use it in an enclosed space of any kind. As it vents like crazy. I happen to have curtains nearby that are shaken to the core when the microwave is in use.

I wouldn't do it. Mine sits on the counter and I have to pull out from the cabinet because of the heat and the pressure valve. They recommend you allow for proper ventilation. Hope this helps.

This stove is not recommended for use in an air tight home. You would need a stove with a fresh air intake to use in an air tight home.

It wouldn't fit in any of my kitchen cabinets, it's too tall. And I believe that due to the refrigeration aspect and the motor, that it needs ventilation.

I did not have have a problem with placing it under my counter. Plenty of ventilation, I don't think it needs as much with it being a thermoelectric fridge. No condensation, no noise, no vibration or sound. As for the dimensions just measure, the manufacturer specs are spot on.

I have used it in my basement with no special ventilation. You are not using very much at a time so I donot see a probl at all.

recommended only if the space behind the cabinet vents to some open space. otherwise, the cooler will overheat.

A fresh air intake is not available. It is not designed for use in an airtight home.

Okay. I already responded that you have to put this device in a small room - and that you have to make sure that there are NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE AIR PATHWAYS to and from the vents on the device.

It would probably be OK. I would make sure to have a window open... not sure if it would use up the oxygen or not (like a space heater), but I think it would be fine. It really does work very well for cooking.

I live in a large loft with alot of living space. We have a sliding steel door that is the only thing separating us from the elements outside. I've opted to run this inside and so far so good. I'd say as long as you have a lot of ventilation you will be just fine. Also, the wick should be cut enough to not give off any toxic soot - so keep it short.

Q - "Is this stove approved for indoor use?"A - The stove is safe for indoor use as long as you follow the manufactures operating instructing. Like any other appliance with an open flame (a Gas Cooking Range)or (Fire Place) one must be careful with combustion air, which means using up all the oxygen leaving carbon dioxide - always keep a fresh air source close buy (open a window slightly) and remember follow the manufactures operating instructing, and you will be fine, I do.

It certainly is not airtight, but i don't think it has enough ventilation to put a computer inside the lockable compartment and run it for an extended period of time. There are a few decent sized holes for cords to run in and out of, but no real "vent. "

Rowdy Ron is correct. This is not a device that can be enclosed. Not at all designed for that. This is an open-air device as the instructions are very clear about. By the time & money you spend to get this enclosed you might as well have bought a whole house system. Beside that, I found this item to be untrustworthy for home back up. I suggest looking for another option for your need. Anytime you try to take an outdoor item such as this and try to "indoor" it you are asking for trouble. Better safe that sorry. Yes that sounds cliche, but in this case it applies. Safety first. I would like to have to answer a question for you again in the future. :) Rowdy Ron is correct.

The user instructions say no. It requires adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. However, my feeling is that it's required by the company's lawyers and if properly functioning it will not be a serious carbon monoxide threat. I have seen similar stoves used in restaurants in open areas. I used a similar model in my house during the multi-day power outage from hurricane Sandy. I have carbon monixide detectors and they were not set off. I wouldn't use it in a confined space, like a tent.

It should be ok travelling, but keep in mind the lid is not as secure as a screw on or snaplock lid. It is not a vacuum (though I couldn't see it coming off). Functionally it is the same as any jar. There is no magic venting or vacuum.
