While not always strictly required by residential building codes, range hoods are highly recommended—and often essential for safety—when using gas range ovens to remove combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and excess moisture. The International Residential Code (IRC) generally requires kitchen ventilation, but it does not explicitly mandate a hood for every installation, so you would do well to check your local building codes regarding range hood requirements for a gas range oven, as they often vary by city and state, potentially superseding national guidelines. LG Over-the-Range (OTR) microwaves are designed to be highly versatile and can vent the LG 6.3 Cu. Ft. Slide-In Gas True Convection Smart Range with EasyClean®, Air Fry and UltraHeat™ 22K Dual Burner - Stainless Steel, Model # LSGL6337X, or an LG Gas Range either internally (recirculating) or to the outside (ductwork).
