A:AnswerHi jojo, thanks for taking the time to leave a question. This model can use recirculating venting and external venting. Recirculating venting takes air from your kitchen, passes it through the charcoal filter, and then blows it back into the room. External venting removes air from your kitchen takes it through the ductwork, and blows it to the outside of your home. Page 11 of this unit's installation instructions is the starting page for venting and offers page numbers for each style. We hope this helps and that you're staying safe. -Michael@Cafe

A:AnswerHi there, Krystal - Great question! This microwave is configured for external venting, however, it can be converted to recirculate. If you're installing the microwave to recirculate you will not need to create a new vent or ducting to the outside. Instructions for converting the unit to recirculate can be found on pages 12-15 in the Installation Instructions here: https://bit.ly/2JyWVaI Thanks for checking! -Mikayla

A:AnswerHi there, we appreciate you reaching out to us. We're sorry to say this microwave is only designed for installation above a range.

If you need any help finding out which unit might fit best in your space, please reach out to us on social media. All the best. - Guy@GEA
A:AnswerThis microwave above a range, above a wall oven, or even on a countertop. Be aware, though, that the sides of a microwave that is made to be "built in", are usually black metal, since the sides do not show when built-in. So, you would have to build your cabinet to hide that fact.
