Where are the vents located? I'm curious as to where the warm air is vented out.

The vents are on the left side. I have a 1" gap between the wall and the microwave. I had no heat related issues.

They are on the back of the unit- near the top and centered. The location of the controls is the only thing I don't like about this heater, it's a strange place for them to be and a bit of a hassle.

Mine gets warm on the top left (as you face it) near the front. It doesn't get hot. I keep citrus fruits on top of it without a problem . The vent is in the back so I would avoid placing anything over that (obviously )

It's got an adjustable vent in the top part of the dome that allows hot air to flow out.

No. Vents have plenty of space - there are openings in the cage for them. I have shot for hours and hours, never had trouble with overheating.

Not sure what you mean by a vent fan but it does not vent like a range hood. It does however apparently draw air in through the rear and exhaust it out the front. There's a grille area in the front below the door opening about 1" high and extends from left to right across the front of the unit. Air is pushed out there. I read somewhere in previous GE units the air was vented in the rear and may have overheated the unit or at least shortened the life of the mechanical components especially if it was housed in an enclosed space. This unit is about 1 " or so higher than the units it replaced.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away.If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

For anyone else that is interested, I got a response from MetroVac already. They said, "It is normal for venting thru housing to avoid overheating."

The vents can direct air to the left or right, but not a hard left or right. More like the left side of the room. But it cools so dang well that I have never bothered with the vents. I just point them to the largest area of the room and I'm good to go!

Exhaust vent out the top, vertical up. No power involved at all. See those slots in the side of the device?? Thats where air goes in so keep them clear

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use. Hope this helps.

there is two vents in the sides located on top and the door is screen or solid. I slept in this tent for a month in puerto rico it was the middle of winter and the temps were mild. I would not recommend this tent in very hot weather the tent was great and very comfy but the back should have been vented also.

The vents are on the top and on the bottom, I have my unit in the corner of a room and is right next to the walls like 3-4 inches away.

There are vents on the top and right side. We have experienced no overheating problems and love the product. It is the easiest toaster to clean that we have had.

There aren't any "vents" per-say, you can direct the air flow left to right via "finns" controlled by a tab above the discharge port. It works well enough.

Ventless? It's electric. The heat comes from the bottom. I guess those would be considered vents.

There is ventilation. Were the roof meets the back there is triangle vent hole on each side. Under the roof on the front is a half inch vent the length of the front board.
