Do you have to vent this externally, or can you vent it back into the kitchen?

You can recirculate the vent back to the kitchen or vent it outside. Either or will work

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 believe the venting system can either be internal, where it sucks in the air but doesn't really go anywhere as it dissipates internally. Or you can flip the fan mechanism in the back center (take it out and turn it so the fan faces out), this way the vented air will blow through the microwave and back into a vent that goes outside, or it can simply be vented into the wall. Cut the drywall behind where the vent would go and the air blows in behind the drywall.The ideal is to have a vent that goes outside though.

Charles, it can be vented out the back. The vent rotates so it can be vented out of the top or the back. The vent is located in the center of the top/back corner. We vented ours out of the top because we had a stud in the wall that prevented venting out the back without ripping a portion of the wall out and rebuilding the support studs. ): So through the cupboard, ceiling and roof we went. You may want to take some measurements and check your wall for studs before committing to venting out of the wall. Good luck.

It can be configured to either vent out the front or if you have the ventilation ducting to outside you can direct it up through a duct in the top (through the cabinets above it) or out the wall behind it. Other than mustering up the courage to cut a hole in the side of my house, and measuring about 6 times to make sure it was in the correct location, it was actually pretty easy to make it vent out through the wall.

Yes, you must vent it. An air conditioner that is not vented would just pump the hot air back into the room.

Yes. It needs to be able to vent in and out to function. The vent should come from outdoors to ensure no bad odors or gases come into the living spaces.

No, this is designed to be installed inline somewhere between the fan and the exterior vent. It's not designed for external use.

Yes you should vent it outside. It works very well and you do not want to put the moisture from the bath into the attic. It may cause mold to develop if not removed

Yes, it needs to be vented out the window. It comes with an adjustable vent support to set in the window. Otherwise you will be adding hot air from unit to room you are cooling. I am very satisfied with our unit for cooling our second floor bedroom.

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

Yes this unit needs to vent outside a window. However this unit is super easy to hookup.

Yes this unit does need to vent outside -- it comes with a plastic tube that I use to vent it to a window around 4' off the ground. It blows all the hot air outside, so I cannot see how it could be used without a window nearby. The moisture pulled in by the unit feeds out through a small tube at the bottom of the unit that I drain every few days (inside). This is separate from the hot air that needs to vent outside.

YES - this unit has to be vented to the outside by using a hose connected to the window kit. I do not know of any portable air conditioning units that are standalone by not using an exhaust to the outside. I am happy with this unit and would purchase another one.

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

This is a countertop microwave does not have vent to vent out if that is what you are asking.

I think you are asking if it vents externally. It will vent to the outside or the inside. You get to make that choice when you install it. This appliance replaces your typical kitchen hood. I have to say, however, I did not keep my LG. Mine made so much noise, I couldn't stand it. Of course this was after in installed it, so I had to uninstall, pack it back up and return it. I went with a Whirlpool instead. I am not saying that LG makes a bad product, I am just telling you, it did not work for me. I hope this helps.

I use mine outdoors. That requires no venting. You can use it indoors, however, you must duct away the gas exhaust which is hot and contains whatever chemicals result from the combustion = probably CO2. So-you need some sort of insulated flue system like you would with a gas stove. You can download the owner's manual which describes how to do an indoor installation. Outdoors is so much less hassle.

The ac will pull air from the room and during the conversion process pull the heat out of said air. Then blow the cool air back into the room. The vent to the outside is to give the heat that is removed somewhere to go. Otherwise there is no where for it to disipate to other than back into the room.
