Must this be vented? I was hoping to simply I stall under a cabinet.

This unit has a vent at the top of the front where air blows out when the fan is on or if the microwave is on. If you look at the photo of the face, there is a thin strip at the top. That is the front of the vent. You may vent it outside also, but this is not necessary. If you wish to have a microwave with no venting, you may need one without a fan function.

This product has a vent that can be turned to vent into the vent that vents into the room above the microwave (outside vent cannot be seen by appearance because the it is camouflaged). The vent can also be turned to fit to the vent that goes through the roof. Microwaves have either/or both, and must have at least one type. Just make sure whoever installs this item turns it so that it will be vented through the vent that goes into the room, otherwise, it will create a very greasy, leaking mess because the greases will be vented back into the microwave. Our previous microwave was installed incorrectly, and this is what we learned.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

Not at all. No venting necessary. Just keep a window or two, cracked open a couple of inches.

I would not suggest it. This unit needs full airflow all around it. I have mine in a cabinet space with ample air circulation, but it died after a year. You need to find one that is actually "under counter installation" approved.

My A/V cabinet is fully enclosed with no ventilation so I have one fan pulling in air and one fan pushing air out. It depends on your cabinet / preference.

I don't see why not, but air flow operates from the back so you would have to arrange venting from the cabinet or the unit would overheat.

The Ge installation instructions do require venting of this unit. The preferred option is via a damper to the outside but it can also be vented thru a window. Please call Goedekers at 888-768-1710 if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help Melanie with Goedekers

There is no venting. Has never been an issue for me. My toothbrush is usually never more than damp when I place within the device to be sanitized.

No, you have an option to use it ventless or vented. Very pleased with the product.

This is a countertop microwave does not have vent to vent out if that is what you are asking.

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.

I don't think it should be mounted under a cabinet. The unit gets pretty hot and there wouldn't be enough airflow. Maybe with a specially designed mount that lets it hang down a few inches from the cabinet base.

Check with manufacturer. There is not vent on top, but I don't know if the bottom unit could hold a second unit resting on it. A supporting shelf may be needed.

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

Make sure your cabinet has at least 2" dead air spaces all the way around and vented. I also recommend that since this is convection oven so lots of heats will coming out so the inside cabinet should be metal sheets coved all the way around. Also power cable should be metal jacketed. I suggest install air fun so all hot air will be outside. Good luck!!!

Yes. There are instructions on how to put in a vent. I did it and it's very easy.

I would guess you would have to know the size of the opening in which you want to place it. I have 6 inches above the unit and it is placed in the corner so there is an open clearance behind it. I does get hot and needs to vent when you use the grill/convection features. I love the unit!!

I just take a toothpick and use it to very slightly prop the lid open a bit, and point that away from the overhanging cabinets. I don't think the vent is large enough for the purpose.
