Ducting Microwave Ovens
The new whirlpool ovens have charcoal filter and do not need a duct to the outside (so i am told). If you still wanted to have an exterior vent can one be installed. My wife does not like the interior type. We would rather add an exterior ducting system.

The installation manual is here:
http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/Whirlpool/WMH1163XVS/91800
According to the manual it would appear to require that it be vented outside. Read it and see if you agree.
