Venting Options

- Vertical (Top Venting): Requires an exhaust pipe (not included) to vent air outside.
- Horizontal (Rear Venting): Also vents air outside.
- Ductless (Recirculating): Utilizes a carbon cotton composite filter to clean and recirculate air back into the kitchen. An indoor baffle is required for external exhaust but not for internal recirculation.
