A:AnswerThe closest comparable replacement model in terms of physical dimensions, cubic foot capacity and features is our JVM7195DKBB. This model comes from the factory ready to be vented outside. We do include the instructions and the charcoal filter needed to convert this model to internal (recirculating) venting. We do recommend using the mounting bracket and hardware kit that will be included with the new model.
A:AnswerMost OTR microwave ovens can be configured to discharge kitchen air to the exterior of the house, or re-circulate kitchen air. The installation mat require a different bracket that fits on the wall above the kitchen range. We recently replaced ours and were able to use the existing bracket.
A:AnswerYes. The door is plastic even the front panel which I thought was glass. The outer part is stainless but not smudge proof. Feel like metal, but could be plastic covered in stainless material.
