A:AnswerMOCOW, the damper assembly is included. For a listing of parts supplied, please see page 2 of the Installation Instructions: https://bit.ly/2rku5Pl .
A:AnswerIt is a bit tricky at first. You set up all the cooking instruction with the door open (since that's where the touch pad is located), then close the door, and touch the > button on the outside, to turn it on. The fan, light and add 30 seconds are also on the outside. It take a bit of getting use to! All the programming instructions are nicely labeled on the inside of the door. You won't need the manual to look it up!

A:AnswerThe CFM for this unit reads at 400. I can say that it does move the air surprisingly fast. It also has a four way selection for the fan that also makes it run quietly, depending on the speed selection.
The exhaust size for the top of the unit is 10 x 3 1/4 with little wiggle room. I think in the manual reads that
its standard size.
A:AnswerI will say it’s not as ‘silvery’ as regular stainless- it has a slight warm undertone, but not as warm as the bronze sunset color. The sides of the microwave are regular stainless and it’s slightly noticeable from the side, but only from certain angles. The sides show fingerprints, the front stainless does not (but the touchpad, light/fan buttons and door window certainly show fingerprints).
A:AnswerYou also get a non-stick surface inside the microwave in addition to the 4th speed. the speed alone would sell me. Cleaning a microwave does sell me.
A:AnswerJust installed it yesterday, and yes, it was a bit of a shock. I knew the dimensions, but seeing it actually up was a bit worrisome. We have room for a standard over the range microwave, BUT the grates on my beloved 15 yr old Kitchenaid range are crazy high. A regular microwave sat down too low, but this one opened up so much more room that the almost 3 inches really isn’t noticed! It also covers more of the range top surface, so the lighting is better, and the fan actually draws the heat from the front burners, which the old ones never did (it was nice cooking dinner tonight). We’ve gone through 5 microwaves because of the heat issues (3 had handles that cracked or broke, two had control panels burn out). If this is replacing a vent hood, I could see that it might be a slight issue, but for where we placed ours, it’s not.
A:AnswerYes you can use it. I don't have a vent either and this just goes back into the kitchen. It works just fine. I have the electric stove underneath it and all is well.
