what is the CFM for this microwave?
797275
I do not see an airflow rating in the manual. I mounted it 18.5 inches above the cooking surface with a straight out (horizontal) vent to outside the house and it does an excellent job of removing cooking smoke/odors (as tested by my daughter burning breakfast sausage) even on low speed. I would conservatively estimate the air removal to be at least 250 cfm on low speed and over 400 cfm on high. For reference I work in navy propulsion plants and have to verify airflow of various intake and exhaust air systems for periodic maintenance so my estimates should be reasonably accurate. As a side note, on low the noise of the fan is barely noticeable, on high it is slightly louder than calm conversation. Hope this helps.

My Installers threw away all the manuals! I was not too happy. But I believe it draws very little Amps...like around 4ish...so I think you would be more than fine with 15. I looked it up at Lowes and they say 3.3 amps for a 450 CFM, so right around there I would assume. On another note, we are very happy with this. It is much quieter than the one we replaced and we always get compliments on it. It lights up very well and it sucks the steam and grease right up. Hope this helps.

I can't tell you about the microwave ... i only use the convection oven and it is very good. Would reccommend it.

Sorry dont know. The seller delivered the microwave in such bad condition that we ended up putting it in the garbage. I would NOT recommend buying from the vendor i used.

The installation guide that is contained in the instruction manual reads: For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8" of space above the microwave, 4" at the back, and 2" on each side of the unit. I hope that this helps you! Best, Steve Antrasian

Looks like the horizontal exhaust opening is on top rear of the microwave and requires the rotation of the fan unit from facing the top to facing the rear. Since the width of the microwave is 30" and the opening appears to take up 1/3 of the width, my guess would be approximately 10". See the instruction manual at: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/dcdb0e2e46a9e7f7c7173bf6e0e1466f Sorry that I couldn't be any more help.

Wondering those specs myself and I found this on another website: CFM/AMP Information: Inline Fan 4" - 171 CFM / 1 AMP Inline Fan 6" - 435 CFM / 1 AMP Inline Fan 8" - 745 CFM / 1.7 AMPS Inline Fan 10" - 780 CFM / 2.1 AMPS Inline Fan 12" - 1060 CFM / 2.5 AMPS

I just took a trip to the kitchen and it/mine is exactly 12" using a really reliable builder's tape. As Sansan indicated it might be a bit risky not having room for ventilation. My microwave does not get hot or warm when I use it, usually just to reheat items under 2 min's.

Thanks for your question! According to the manufacturer's website the CFM of this fan is 740 / 600. I hope this helps!

I've used it for months in a 1200 W microwave. No problems. I hadn't seen the W limit before

GE Product information says it is 1800 watts. Seems rather high to me, perhaps check with GE Customer Service to verify. I have owned several over-the-range microwaves, most were 1500.

My motor/fan assembly is mounted on a Nutone Scovill 696N-B unit which has a cfm rating of 50 at .10 wg. Your results will vary depending on the unit in which it's mounted.

I gave this microwave as a gift to my coworkers and I no longer work there so I don't know the dimensions.

Not sure what model that is. This went into our motor home microwave. It is smaller that our house microwave.

The CFM and amp draw can be found online. The housing diameter is 14.75", and the unit is 3" tall.

The speed control are accessed by removing the grill, I believe the cfm is 0-80 but I am sure you can get all this information on the Panasonic website.

It will not run my 700 watt microwave. I will be returning mine and trying the 2000 watt version.
