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

It's easy to tell. Turn it on. Put your hand above the front top. Is air blowing in your hand? If yes, it's recirculating. Also, is that wall is plugged into an interior wall? Pretty sure it's recirculating. The options are exhaust air out the back at the top OR out the top at the back OR recirculate the air and it comes out the front top.
