Can You Vent An Over The Range Microwave Outside

I like to cook.

Can you vent an over the range microwave outside. The tools and parts were pretty cheap. Microwaves over the range otr typically vent in two different ways. Typically there might be a cabinet installed over the microwave and inside that cabinet will be duct work or a soffit above the microwave or a direct wall exhaust. I already had an stud finder and the microwave exhaust duct was not expensive plus this project was fairly simple and and it has really cut down on the smoke and odor in the kitchen and in the whole house.

Mount a tube of outdoor quality silicone sealant into a caulking gun and run a zigzag bead of silicone onto the rear facing flange of the vent cap. Slide the vent cap into place and secure it with. All over the range spacemaker microwaves can be vented to the outside using an equivalent total of 140 feet of rigid 3 1 4 x 10 rectangular or rigid 6 round ducting. If you have an over the range microwave it should have an exhaust fan that vents to the outdoors.

Microwaves are shipped from the factory to vent out the top vertically but can also be vented out the rear horizontally. Remove the access plate on the top of the unit in order to reach the motor. Over the range microwaves have a light and fan built into the bottom of the appliance. After the smoke and steam are removed the filtered fan vents the air outside your home or cleans it before releasing it back into the kitchen.

If rectangular ducting please note.
