when do you open the vent?

I always do just a bit. Not sure if there are rules about when to do or not to do.

Yes, I did the same thing. The vent was movable to blow from back or the top of the unit.

Let the coals burn with the lid and bottom vent wide open for 15-20 minutes, then close the lid. Keep the bottom and top vents fully open until you get to the temp you need. Once I hit temp with the vents wide open, I usually close both down to level 1 or 2. That usually works fine. To ensure air flow into the bottom vent, you may need to orient (i.e., turn the keg) "into" whichever way the breeze is blowing. On an unusually calm day recently (no breeze at all), I actually hooked up a small floor fan near the keg and pointed it to the bottom vent. That worked great. Got the coals red hot in no time. Hope you're enjoying the Keg. We love ours.

Don't force it out or you will break your vent. If you still have trouble, I will figure out a way to take and post a picture of the back of the thing.

If you can ventilate by raising windows, opening doors, or even runing ceiling fans, I personally find that you can re-enter the home immediately following. It depends on many things. The size of your home would be one thing and your own sensitivity, indicated by headaches mostly. As a rule, an hour for an hour of ozonation, is ample.

You keep the vent closed while the item is in the microwave. When you remove it, open the vent to let the steam escape, then open the lid and enjoy!

I agree with previous comment,I open as far as a vent will allow and have plenty of airflow.

The vent is on top, just make sure you don't have it near cupboards otherwise it will discolor your cupboards. There is a drip tray on the side where you just have to dump out the water.

I always leave the lid on and open the vent. I never microwave anything without it being loosely covered. I like Sistema products.

You have to make sure the vent is still open, then wait a minute or so and then lift the hinges ( or claps ). The lid should open, but be careful because the food will be hot. Deb M.

The vents are permanently open (metal). The ventilator screen must be removed from the window if you wish to stop air flow.

You can unscrew the screw at the back to close the vent. Because the vent opens and closes according to the temperature, as the temperature drops with the approach of a storm the vent should close automatically.

Yes we have used ours for about 6 months and it works fine. Our vent was open to the outside before and we had wind noise, with this, no more wind noise. Our fans are fairly strong air flow but I think any exhaust fan would open it for venting.

Great Question. The manual will go over this in detail but most people will wait an hour before entering the room. It's always a good idea to open any windows and doors to let the room air out after using the purifier. Thanks Dustin GreatVacs(seller)

The vent pipe. Depends on where you are venting and how long the exhaust needs to be.

There is a round flat vent on the top of the lid. You turn it to adjust opening.

Exhaust vent out the top, vertical up. No power involved at all. See those slots in the side of the device?? Thats where air goes in so keep them clear
