Where is the exhaust vent for this microwave? We need to replace a built-in and we need to figure out how to vent it. Thanks!

As you face the microwave on its left side (the opposite side of the control panel in the picture). There might me some in the back too. I could not reach it to see.

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

There is no need for a special exhaust vent. This unit is meant to be free standing and only requires about and inch of clearance so the built in fan can vent into your room/kitchen. It's not designed to act as a vent for a stove as well as a microwave oven.

This microwave was defective when we got it. We replaced it with a different model. As I recall the venting was a grill on the top at the rear.

Yes, The unit has a built in fan since it is an over stove/oven microwave. We've enjoyed the new features. We had a 7 y.o. GE microwave that died when our home was struck by lightening. This slightly larger unit wasn't easy to hang from the new tracks, but my husband still managed to do so. I like the fact that the darker enamel interior hides the stains. We definitely would purchase the same unit again.

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.

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.

Hello Arnie, Unfortunately we only have the exhaust vent coming out of the top and not out of the back of any of our models. Thank you, Range Hood Direct Buy

We thought ours was dying until we read a question about the door latches being the issue (I had to slam the door shut to get it started). If i'ts a bit hard, spray the outside hooks holes with a lubricant and work the hooks up and down a bit to allow it to penetrate the mechanism. Did it with a lubricant (not silicone). Our 3-yr-old microwave is working like a charm again: no need to slam the door anymore!

This has a front vent, I don't believe microwaves require an external vent. Not sure on the CFM.

It vents on the top at the back of the microwave. You take 2 screws out to change from self vent to top vent, very simple to do. and we love the unit.

There is a plastic shield covering it. I noticed a few days later. Did you take your plastic off of it. Because I have no problem now with my microwave.

Yes. It has a nice size vent on the top that needs to be ported to an outside vent. it has 3 speeds... which is awesome. the slow speed is very quiet.This has been an awesome microwave. i defiantly recommend it.

You have to have the exhaust hose vented out a window. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of cool air and the hot exhaust.

The vents are on the left side. I have a 1" gap between the wall and the microwave. I had no heat related issues.

Hi again, I think you may want to ask about how to adjust the old microwave trim kit to the new model. If this is what you are asking about I can give my solution. -Ken

No, in fact they want you to have open space around it. But don't buy it, it is the noisiest microwave I have eve owned...so disappointed!

I don't see anything in the manual that explains what that second port was designed for. Maybe it's for a different model. It doesn't appear to have any function. It just looks down into the back of the cabinet, and that general space is open via the grill on the back of back/side of the unit. So there's nothing pulling on it for air intake or pushing against it for exhaust.

This microwave has option to vent both inside with a filter or outside additional installation required. Thank you.

Sorry my answer took so long. Every other hand mixer I have owned, the motor vent HAS been on the bottom side (so food and batter splatters up into it)- but this one vents out the FRONT and BACK of the mixer, much better I think!!! So far, I am very pleased with my choice!!!
