Are the vents on the top or sides of this microwave? null

hi sly1- The vents are on the left side of the microwave. 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. Countertop Models: 3" of clearance on both sides and the top; 1" clearance in the rear. 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. The front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping. If located on the counter near a range, we recommend locating it at least 2 ft. away. Do not place near or over a heat source. These microwaves are intended for countertop use only. We do not recommend installing them in tight spaces, like a cabinet. Thanks for your interest in GE! Sue

If you are staring at the front of this microwave, the vents are on the left side and bottom. There are no vents on the top, nor right-hand side.

Hi, no vents on top, but on the left side. Hope this helps.
