Can this be vented from the top OR the back? I need an insert that vents from the back.

It can only be vented from the top. Although, charcoal filters can be used to recirculate. If it's recirculating, the vent from the top needs to be vented to the kitchen space and not through the attic.

The ventilation comes from the unit not being airtight. I don't quite recall whether there were airholes in the back. The unit will go with your stainless steel appliances...more like a brushed look. I love this little unit...useful addition to a small modern kitchen.

You can vent into the then you need to be handy enough to change the way the vent is set from the factory (external vent to the top) fairly easy I changed it to vent to the rear on mine.

I would guess you would have to know the size of the opening in which you want to place it. I have 6 inches above the unit and it is placed in the corner so there is an open clearance behind it. I does get hot and needs to vent when you use the grill/convection features. I love the unit!!

The back is open all the way up. The metal shaft only has there sides. The top of the metal shafts is also open. It come with a coil tube as well. You would have no problem having it go through a wall vent. However, you would need to mount it high enough that no one looks down the open top or make a cap. We love ours. Very very sharp! Well worth it.

This unit can be installed with or without external vent. If you can not install external vent just do not do any changes. It will exhaust from it top front through a charcoal filter which is already installed by manufacturer. Aman

I gave the grill as a gift and quite honestly I think it had a vent in back but can't remember for sure. I'm sure you could contact the dealer for more information. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

It's best to mount this close to the ceiling. On the back there is a 4 inch exhaust. This will need to be vented to the outside at that approximate height.

I only use the stand at work for a standard desk top. Yes I believe you will need the vent due to no ventilation on the stand. I hope this Is useful.

The vent is on the back. This is a counter top microwave. Not suitable for over the stove mounting.

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.

the vents are on the sides. the entire back exposes the cooling panel. I don't know why others say it is vented on the back

It's a front vented unit so no, no special venting required. It's a built in that can also be used as a stand alone.

There are no vents. You need to by a wall sleeve and install it before you put the unit in. The wall sleeve vents only to the back.

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

Yes. Just have to insure your vent out the wall has a way to stop wind from blowing back into the exhaust. Mine is through the wall. Lowes has metal vent with a back draft preventer or flap built in it.
