Can the OS model be installed in a recessed area? Or does that break the no-venting feature?

You can install in a recessed area as long as there is enough clearance top bottom and each side as per the install specs, otherwise you need to install the indoor model and put a vent on it... hope this helps

I believe that the OS model needs to be placed outside in a free and clear space away from windows and other fixtures on or near the house.

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.

Theres a little gravity flap inside. I'm not really sure why it's there. It would still work if the unit were horizontal and on it's back (indoor vent screen facing up).

Hi, Neal,The manual for the unit doesn't say anything about orientation. Of course the illustrations show it installed tall-way up.There are no air vents on either side surface.To be safe you might want to contact the manufacturer and ask about this. Their Web site is at:http://www.cyberpowersystems.comand you can probably find out there the best way to contact them.It is a nice machine. We now have two (the 1350W version as well).Best regards,Doug

I wouldn't set it on its side, the fan needs ventilation to cool down and the cd/DVDs drive isn't intended to load sideways. That being said there are CPUs like all in ones that sit that way. Personally I wouldn't do it.

You can but I will not advice it. The desktop has air vents at the top portion which provides cooling in the unit. If you place it on the side, you limit cooling the desktop because you will hinder air circulation.

Not at all, detach the mesh screen and sliding door from the bottom vent, install the supplied fan adapter, slide back in the vent sliding door (mesh is no longer needed) and that's it. Fairly simple install.

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

Hi Stella, Mike here. The unit is made for traditional windows, which slide up and down. Technically, they have vertical slides, so putting it in such a window should be pretty straightforward. When mounted in such a window there are usually gaps to either side that the a/c comes equipped to cover, usually with slide-out panels. However, if you mean that the opening the window makes is vertical, in which case it actually slides horizontally, the installation could still work but might require some adaptations. If you want the window open as little as possible, I suppose you could put the unit in vertically; I'm not aware of anything inherent to the unit itself that would make it unsuitable for vertical mounting. My recollection aside, a careful read of the installation instructions is definitely called for. In a window that slides horizontally, and makes a vertical opening, you might have to provide some support for the unit on the outside because it wouldn't have the window coming down on the top to hold it in place. The friction from the window and frame might be sufficient, but I kinda doubt it. By "some support" I'm thinking of something like an exterior shelf attached to wall studs, or perhaps some large "L" shaped brackets by themselves. With a vertical opening you'll also need to plug the big hole above the unit. Heavy cardboard, fiberboard, or a really heavy duty plastic trash bag, plus some duct tape could do for that, as long as the unit is otherwise mounted securely. If you want to get fancier, and sturdier/more permanent to boot, a sheet of 1/4" exterior-rated plywood, trimmed with a self-adhesive foam gasket, and possibly held in place by some brackets screwed on to the panel, could work as well. I hope I've understood your question correctly. If not, I'd be glad to try again with some clarification from you about the configuration of the window.

The venting is on the sides but it doesn't come with a setup for direct mounting. I suppose if you were willing to take the case off and manually mount it that it would be possible but it isn't designed as such.

There is no reason why not, I have booted from many devices. The only issue is that the new boot must be UEFI capable and needs to have power management drivers to keep from overheating the ventless design. I do not know of any Android distros like that.

There is no ventilation, but the unit is not air tight. The finish is similar to brushed nickel, but not an exact match.

I'm extremely happy with this oven, however, in the instructions it states it should not be built in as it needs to be freestanding with air around it. It is amazing unit but don't install inside cupboard would be my advice.

Yes,it can be vented horizontal or vertical,with the included hardware. Very good unit for those of us on a budget. Arrived well packed and undamaged!

It can be either surface mounted or recessed into the wall. If you want it recessed, you might have to put some more work into installing it. We had to cut out some drywall and all since our old one was surface mounted!

I have 2 in my kitchen island as long as you maintain a 1/2" air gap you should be ok. Iv never had a issue but they are rear venting, most high end built ins are bottom venting.

No, please dontThis specific model is designed for exterior installation only. However there is a similar product that is designed for interior installation but requires a duct venting to an exterior wall.it is a little cheaper but requires more installation work due to the exhaust ventilatio
