So I get this above range Microwave/hood. It has 3 options for Venting,
top, back or re-circ... Re-circ?

So this ,ay save a few days worth of work. When is a recirc venting okay
and when is it not?

The Range is in a 522 SqFt Rental Unit. Its a basic coiler burner electric
unit.

Suggestions?

If you cook, you need to vent the smoke outside. If you boil water, it
doesn't matter

Absolute no-brainer in a rental unit. Outside vent a must. Always
imagine your renters are Neanderthals with little house training and
plan everything for that possibility. Too many landlords are cheap-
asses and then they whine about not making much money from their
property as it slowly deteriorates to the point where only riff-raff
and evictees from public housing will want to live there.

The re-circ is a joke and should not be used. Who wants smoke/odors
blown back into the room or perhaps in your face?

I had a recirc fan in one kitchen - it filters the grease out of the
air. With a little care to cover boiling pots
you really don't need a vent. In another kitchen, there was no fan or
vent at all. How did I survive?
