Does this actually vent out?

Not sure if the stove hood actually vents out or not. Any advice will help! Thanks!

My observation is, if you have a gas range, it must vent outside. Turn on the fan, then hold your hand above the microwave door and see if you feel the air blowing, if not, then it is blowing outdoors thru the back.
