Q: this microwave is set up with a recirculating vent. where does it vent out? front ,rear , or side?
A: The vent is on the top rear as with most over the range microwaves. You can vent it traditionally (ie to an outside vent) or recirculate it, which means just that--the air recirculates as opposed to being vented outside. There is an air filter used for this that comes with the unit. I have done it both ways, depending on the house. In my opinion it's always better to vent outside but sometimes there may not be an existing outside vent to attach to so unless you want to make one by cutting a hole through an outside wall, you would simply use the recirculating option. Hope that helps!
A: I was able to use the the same mounting rack from a very similar Whirlpool I had professionally installed 9 years earlier. Some plastic piece on the door latch actuator broke on the old whirlpool microwave that I used several times a day. Although this could be a cheap fix "if" one properly takes apart and puts back together, I decided to just buy a new microwave. I was lucky and the mounting plate was exactly the same. My wife and I were able to just slip the new microwave in and tighten down the bolts.
Q: Does this unit vent to the outside?
A: yes, you just have to flip the fan when you get it to point the fan either out of the back or out of the top, depressing on if you have venting going out a back wall, or up to the roof. otherwise, if you don't flip the fan, it will recirculate the air.
A: Hi Jerri, the Mounting Kit is supplied with your Microwave. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
Q: where is the wire/plug located? back or top of the microwave?
A: The plug is on top towards the right side
Q: Can this microwave be used over a gas stove or does it not matter?
A: Yes, this product is suitable for use above electric or gas cooking products up to and including 36" (91.4 cm) wide.
A: Billman, the power cord is going to be about 4ft in length.
Q: What's the difference between Whirlpool OTR microwave WMH31017HS and WMH31017HZ?
A: Fan is 300 CFM on HS and 330 CFM on HZ (HZ has stronger fan).
