If this MW is installed using recirculated air (NOT vented to the outdoors), where does the air come out? My current (9 yr old Whirlpool) shoots the air out the top/front of the MW. The air flows across the upper cabinet & has damaged it. null

When installed for recirculated air, this model is designed to vent the air through the top-front grille, directing it back into the kitchen. For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.

Mine vents to the outside but looking at the MW it only has vents upper front like your unit so it must vent the same, out the upper front.
