Yes - there are four or five loose grilles and covers about 2 inches by 5 inches with screws that are fastened in one of two ways to make the unit direct vented or recirculating. One forward discharging grille cools the microwave's magnetron. There is a noticeable upward warm air discharge at the front of the unit but that air is not in contact with food vapors or grease laden air.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Moose36, this low profile Microwave Hood can be installed as either a recirculating or exterior. You will need to follow the "Install Damper Assembly" instructions if you plan on venting unit at the wall or roof. The Charcoal Filter will need to be removed if you are going to vent the unit at the wall or roof. You can find instructions on how to do that on page 5 of the Use and Care Guide, linked here: https://bit.ly/3yI1xzj We hope this helps!
