QuestionDoes this model vent outside or inside?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer it can vent either outside or just use the recirculating option (which is how it is setup out of the box). This is how we are using it and it works well with a gas range and cooking on the grill of our range,

QuestionHi - is it possible to clean the carbon filter or are replacements required? If so, where are they sold? Great microwave, such a difference with the additional height above the stove, plus looks sharp. Thank you!
Asked 5 years ago by Stix.
- Answer You can clean by mixing hot water with some dishwashing detergent have a pan big enough for the filters to fit in so you can completely submerge your carbon filter inside of the pan or bucket whatever you choose to use. Let them soak for about 15 minutes and then shake the filter from side to side and then back to front while it’s submerged this will loosen up any dirt and grime particles inside then rinse off the filters under hot water shaking the whole time make sure it is well rinsed you can place them in the sun to dry. You would probably have to clean them every 60 or 90 days. But if you look in the back of your owners manual there’s a list of supplies that you can buy and I think the carbon filters were listed in there and where to buy them they are pretty cheap.

QuestionIs it accurate that if I am venting out the back of the microwave and not recirculating, I need to remove the charcoal filters and not use them?
Asked 4 years ago by TennisGal.
- Answer Well, I would assume there is no reason to have them and keep replacing/washing if you exhaust out, seems also it would be less resistance

QuestionCan my cabinets be 14" deep or they have to be the standard 12"? My main concern is for the circulating feature that sits on the top front edge of the microwave not to be blocked by a 14" deep cabinet.
Asked 4 years ago by Fla.
- Answer It will place the front of your cabinet near the vent but not blocking it. That could lead to a film build up on the front of the cabinets above the unit. May not be a problem at all as the vents do direct the air toward the front of the unit and away from the cabinet.
