Hello dandppowell - Microwave’s exhaust ventilation system is preset to recirculate air inside with no ducting system required. Exhausting air outside is optional, using either vertical or horizontal ducting system. If you are interested in outside ventilation, here are a few basic procedures:

• Exhaust duct adapter will be needed for outside ventilation, to mate with standard 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct. If round duct required, rectangular-to-round transition adapter will be needed with no less than 6" diameter. • For most efficient airflow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible with a maximum duct length of 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct, not to exceed 120 equivalent feet. • For horizontal installation, be sure to allow enough space between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

However refer to installation instructions on the manufacturer’s web for detailed duct preparation and converting exhaust vent blower system for exterior exhaust ventilation. I would strongly suggest referring to Product Installation Guide on the web at frigidaire.com for detailed instructions like I did.
