Is the fan supposed to blow out air to the top or bottom? The fan sits on top of the microwave which I don't understand as it's away from the food.

The fan exhausts the hot air out of either the top or back. It is adjustable for either mounting. It can be pulled out and twisted 90 degrees. Yes, it is basically at the top of the microwave. It's constructed that way because heat rises.

It's supposed to blow it up and out. The vent at the bottom pulls it in... It's just to dissipate the smoke or steam...

If you have the fan set to exhaust into the room it will blow it up at approximately 45 degrees from floor level. Technically up and out. To answer your question of up or down, let's say up.

The fan sucks air from the bottom, pulls it thru a filter and blows out the top.

Dear Sir, The Fan is very quite, which I appreciate lol & not my husband, it does put out quite.a bit of air.& has 2 speeds, I really love having this fan especially when our electricity goes out!! Helps a lot !! I even bought this fan as a gift for friends, I hope this helps? ~Merry Christmas.~ Trish. : o}

Air enters from the front and out the top. We don't position ours close to a wall but for no significant reason

The fan is necessary to move the air through the ceramic wafer. Without the fan running, if its' fuse doesn't melt first, and shutdown the heater; then you will spend a lot on electricity, for very little heat. The fans on these units only last about a season, if you use it regularly. The model here has a rotary motor on bottom, of the two I have had, they do not last even a season. A better model, is the one without the bottom part; and, you gain a knock-over switch, which is important!

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away. If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

The one I purchased pushes/sucks the air out. In my opinion, this may be the best direction as the CPU heat sink and fan draws/pulls hot air up from the CPU and since this fan would be fixed in close proximity it would be good to have it complete the job by taking that hot air out of the case.

I have mine internally venting as we speak. The fan is quite powerful and has no problem gathering any smoke that develops. I've been using my microwave since this past Christmas and so far, i haven't had any problems. I'm sure, however, that something like burnt oil would be a problem. Fyi- it's very important to keep the filters clean.

This is meant to go over the stove so the fan draws from the bottom and therefore you would want the bottom open if you're going to use it for any kind of ventilation.

Normally, a fan at the back of the case should exhaust air. You want to pull air all the way through the case, and the power supply (also normally at the back) pulls air out of the case - the back fan should assist this. If you use additional fans at the front of the case, you want these configured to intake air. I've also seen configurations where exhaust is at the top, and intake at the bottom, but you want to make sure to include the disk drives in the air flow pattern.

It is usually the underside track it sits on in the microwave that may be different. Hope this helps

There is only one way to have air flow... In from the front, out through the top.The sad part is no matter how to aim the fans, once they are not static pressure fans and you dont tape the 3 large rectangle holes under the lid cover, the fans will be circulating the hot air inside since air flow is restricted horribly.

I have two of the double fans (total of four fans) mounted at the top of a closed closet (3ft wide, 7 ft tall) which houses our computer servers and security system hardware. I reversed the mounting on the fans so they are exhaust, blowing the air out of the closet. There is about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of the doors where air can be drawn in. The idea is hot air rises and is exhausted while cooler air is pulled in at the bottom. This seems to be working quite well over the past month or so since the install.

No, the fan blows out the heat. There is a choice of high and low fan. Also you can choose whether or not it oscillates.

This is a countertop microwave does not have vent to vent out if that is what you are asking.

The fan blows out Thursday the front at the top. I think there is just some type of filter built-in. I really like the unit.

I only have a microwave. I am not sure about the convection fan.I think I would experiment with a baked potatoe for the convectionand see how it goes.

Looks like the horizontal exhaust opening is on top rear of the microwave and requires the rotation of the fan unit from facing the top to facing the rear. Since the width of the microwave is 30" and the opening appears to take up 1/3 of the width, my guess would be approximately 10".
