Does Alante have exhaust fan right above cook top?

Does Alante have exhaust fan right above cook top? From 360 degree view, I can not see an exhaust fan below microwave. There is no fan on the roof for cooking smell ventilation either.

Looked at Entegra vision, no exhaust fan either. How to deal with cooking smell and propane exhaust?

If microwave is above cook top it’s fan is used. Exhaust may be out the side with a flapper vent. That’s how our Grayhawk is.

The microwave has the exhaust built in, no roof exhaust fan above kitchen area.

internal circulation or there is a vent outside for Alante? Is it effective if it is internal circulation? I did not see a vent outside from some video reviews.

Looking at a picture of the right side of the Alante there is a rectangular vent about 12” x 4” up near the roof. The cover pointing down. That is the exhaust vent. There is a flapper built into it that the exhaust air pushes open. Closes went not in use to keep critters out and air on those cold nights.

Thanks. Noticed that there is one rectangular small cover on the kitchen side. So the fan switch on the microwave? Is there a light under microwave too? No video reviews/orientation talk about it

Microwaves are designed so you can set for exhaust to go into the room or outside. I have install them and corrected them for family. The dual exhaust fans have to be turned for external or room exhaust. Also there is a plate that covers the opening in the top when set for room exhaust which has to be removed for external exhaust. Had a in-laws where the contractor turned the motors for external exhaust but left the plate on. No where for the exhaust to go so grease/ smoke pulled up into the microwave filters and no farther. That way for 6 years till the told me they had a smoky kitchen when they used the grilling plate. Smoke detector was having a hay day. Thank goodness they did not have a fire!

Our 2018 Alante uses the microwave vent fan directly out the side of the coach. Does not recirculate to the inside.

Here is a picture of a 2021 Alante 31V from Jayco's website.

If you look along the top of the wall, between the frig access panel and the roof, you will see a black rectangle. This is the stove exhaust port.

The microwave exhausts out the side of the RV on the Jayco Alante/Entegra Vision. You will need to unlatch the "flapper" on the vent outside if its not unlatched already to let the air vent out.
