Sinse the venting is external, and the filter is needed only when venting recirculates, why is it necessary?

Hi TopCat - Thanks for choosing GE! The charcoal filter is only required for recirculating (non-vented). If your microwave is vented outdoors, the charcoal filter is not necessary. It is included if outdoor venting is not an option. The over-the-range models are all designed for adaptation for the following three types of ventilation: 1. Outside Exhaust (Vertical – Delivered from factory in vertical position). 2. Outside Exhaust (Horizontal). 3. Recirculating (Non-vented ductless). Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
