It does not need an external vent. It works like other microwaves and vents out the top and bottom of the door.

Hi, there! Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. I am attaching the Installation Guide link for your viewing! https://na2.electroluxmedia.com/Original/Electrolux/Electrolux%20Assets/Document/Installation%20Instructions/A06823525.pdf
