When installed to vent outside, where is the diverter to switch it to use the air intake on the underside of the microwave?

it always intakes through the filter underneath - there's no change. The only option is whether it vents into the room through the top/front of the mic,or out the back and into duct (leading elsewhere)

I do not know. The microwave is located at another residence and I have not seen it yet. It should say in the instructions or use the ask a question function. Sorry I could not be of more help

The fan motor on the top of the unit is easily repositioned to vent either through the rear top of the microwave or through the top front grille. Just two screws and lift and rotate. The rear top opening is a standard vent size for venting through a rectangular duct. I chose the rear top because the kitchen cabinets in the remodeling already had the duct installed.

Yes. I has a better vent fan then our previous Kitchenaid. Very happy with this microwave.

Hi Michael,I tried to find the video on YouTube I used to teach me how to install the diverter, but I couldn't find it. However, I found two separate ones by the same author that should do the trick. As a bonus, he said he'll answer questions if you post them to him. Here they are:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCbXw5bP9I8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLPvtTfRcCk Hope this helps !

Exhaust vent out the top, vertical up. No power involved at all. See those slots in the side of the device?? Thats where air goes in so keep them clear

It is right up on the vent housing. The nice thing is that you can set it and forget it. The fan will open automatically if it gets too hot and close if it starts to rain.

Hi Monica, I think it vents from the bottom. I have mine installed in an outdoor kitchen in a brick enclosure. With the stainless steel fascia piece it is a very snug fit (almost no room between the sides), and it has no problem venting. I think that, since it is a refrigerator and not a freezer, it does not generate a lot of heat. Yours should be fine for an inside install without much clearance.

It has a vent for the range top and is connected to the MIcrowave also. Blows out the top in back and needs to be connected to a vent tube either vertical for horizontal.

The intake is at the bottom - a 1" by 2" area. In the main picture, it's on the lower right hand side (it's not easy to see).

If you are talking about the hood vent-it is set up so it can do either. there is an additional piece that fits in for outside venting. Hope this helps!

No, we just ordered the microwave......but my installer did have to go to H.D to pick up some extra pieces to get it to vent right, so maybe it would be a good idea to purchase the install kit especially if you intend to vent it outside to roof.

Most microwave vent hoods require a 7" duct, this is only 4". It would "work" but with restricted airflow.

vent on one end, directions say allow 3" clearance back, top and sides for air circulation. will not hold proper temp in over 110F or under 0F

On my fan its integrated into the vent internally. Not sure what model I have but its dial temp controlled. Also closing the lid shuts off the fan. Hope that helps.

It can go either way vented out or charcoal filter, I vent mine out so not sure how well filter works.

That is a vent. And mine came with two different options, mine is lower.. I will see if I can get a picture to attach.
