Can All Over The Range Microwaves Vent Outside

After the smoke and steam are removed the filtered fan vents the air outside your home or cleans it before releasing it back into the kitchen.

Can all over the range microwaves vent outside.

Over the range microwaves have a light and fan built into the bottom of the appliance. Remove the access plate on the top of the unit in order to reach the motor. When a microwave is replacing a standard range hood it is usually best to use the existing venting method. If you have an over the range microwave it should have an exhaust fan that vents to the outdoors.

Microwaves over the range otr typically vent in two different ways. In the first example the microwave over the range otr will vent through the manufacturer installed grease or carbon filter then directly through an exhaust port that is ducted to the outside of the structure. Typically there might be a cabinet installed over the microwave and inside that cabinet will be duct work or a soffit above the microwave or a direct wall exhaust. This eliminates smoke cooking odors moisture and hot air from remaining in the kitchen.

Over the range microwaves can vent to the outside or can recirculate the air. All over the range spacemaker microwaves can be vented to the outside using an equivalent total of 140 feet of rigid 3 1 4 x 10 rectangular or rigid 6 round ducting. Many times an over the range microwave that recirculates cooking fumes can be converted to exhaust to the outside. If rectangular ducting please note.

Microwaves that vent to the outside force the air through duct work to the outdoors. When considering venting in an over the range microwave there are ducted vents and recirculating vents.
