Does this vent out of the back? I want it for indoor use under the counter and wonder if I need to allow for circulation behind

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.

The unit itself does come out of the sleeve. The sleeve itself is open on the bottom not fully enclosed like others. I think there is 9 inches of wall clearance for the vents. (For in wall installation)

Air blows out of the front . It pulls the air from the vent and into the room . It can not be reversed unless you are mounting it from the inside . If you are trying to push air through the system . So it does exhaust into the room .

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

Mine is on the counter, so I can't say how much room you need above it (there are no vents on the top)....but, there are air vents on the left side, so that should not be blocked.

I have it within a few inches of the back wall. I don't think there are any restrictions about space around the unit, although my sauna is open on 3 sides, the outside doesn't seem to get too warm. Check the manual. The vent for the sauna is in the roof. There are narrow windows on each side near the front, which you wouldn't want to block.

Hi Diana, yes, the unit has to be vented outside the area you are trying to cool off. It comes with the materials to vent the unit outside a window. If the office you have has a dropped ceiling you maybe able to vent into the space above your office space. I did that, vented exhaust into roof space.

All things considered (there is a small panel on the vent in back the sticks out about ¼" or so), the depth is about 20 ¼" and I think you would need to add a couple additional inches so air circulates around the back of the unit.

I see no reason why you can't put the convection Oven under the counter as long as you have enough ventilation and follow the opening dimentions given by the company for installation. I would not recomend it though because you would have to bend over to access it. I have mine above the counter to give me more countertop space and no stooping.Kodo Kawamura

I put mine under counter and mounted tap to counter. Used a small can of the foam insulation to seal the hole on top of fridge...no problems. Technically, this is a free standing model but I did not want to pay the extra money for a true under counter model. I have decent ventilation space under counter and no problems so far

robert, as you probably know; you do not want your refrigerator flush against the wall, as you want air flow in the rear of your refrigerator. the unit is almost 2" deep and the back of my frig is 4" from the wall, for air circulation. have a merry christmas and a prosperous new year! [sorry......i meant to answer a similar question to another person and answered yours instead. :) i also sent her this same answer. hope your unit is working fine.]

It just hangs. It is NOT a tight fight. You want air flow, its not like an oven that is enclosed. The plus side is, while it is running, you don't need much additional heat in the room; it does it for you. If the extra heat is a problem, open a window near the back of the machine so the hot air from the back goes outside instead of in.

It is vented to the back. Sides are solid tin or closed if you will.Today I went back to P.C. Richards and return my AC. Good luck with your purchase because that noise issue is not problem with every unit. That's what see that other people are saying.

Yes, the unit is vented to the back. I get a lot of compliments on it. Best money I spent all year. No one beats Amazon's prices. I got the bang for my buck with this one.

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.

Jen is correct, it's just a low vent on the back. It zips down if you don't want it open. But, it is perfect, when open, to put a fan in front of it and keep some fresh air flowing through.

The indoor model (Takagi T-KJr2-IN-LP) has a vent pipe attached. The vent for this model is on the front and cannot be redirected.
