A:AnswerHello Fred,
Certainly! Let’s delve into the world of microwave ventilation.
Built-In Microwaves:
Built-in microwaves are installed into cabinets or wall cavities. These microwaves can be vented externally through a duct that runs through the wall or roof of the house.
If you have a built-in microwave, it’s essential to ensure proper external venting to maintain a fresh and safe kitchen environment.
External Venting Importance:
External venting directs air, moisture, and other pollutants outside the house instead of recirculating them back into the kitchen.
Here’s why external venting matters:
Removal of Cooking Odors: Proper venting eliminates cooking odors (like smoke and grease) from the kitchen, ensuring a fresh-smelling space.
Moisture Control: Excess moisture generated during cooking can lead to mold growth. Venting removes this moisture, preventing humidity-related issues.
Heat Control: Cooking generates heat. External venting helps dissipate this heat, keeping the kitchen cooler.
Improved Air Quality: Ventilation removes pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, enhancing overall air quality.
Increased Appliance Lifespan: Microwaves and range hoods that vent externally tend to last longer due to reduced moisture and odor accumulation.
Countertop Microwaves with Trim Kits:
If you’re installing a countertop microwave with a trim kit into a cabinet, the situation changes:
Countertop microwaves typically do not require an exhaust duct because they don’t have built-in exhaust fans.
The trim kit allows you to integrate the microwave seamlessly into your cabinetry, but it doesn’t alter the need for external venting.
Since countertop microwaves lack built-in exhaust systems, there’s no duct to worry about.
However, if you’re using a trim kit, ensure proper ventilation in the cabinet to prevent heat buildup and allow the microwave to function optimally.
Frigidaire 30" Trim Kit for Gallery Series Microwaves:
The Frigidaire trim kit is designed for built-in microwaves. If you’re using this kit, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.
Remember that even with the trim kit, external venting remains crucial for built-in microwaves.
In summary, whether it’s a built-in microwave or a countertop unit with a trim kit, external venting is essential for maintaining a comfortable and safe kitchen environment. Happy cooking!
