[Histonet] CAP Questions

[Kathy M. Gorham]

It's me again the one who is about to go through a CAP inspection for
the first time.  We have always been JCAHO but are switching this year.
Here is my questions:
ANP.29430 Are microwave devices properly vented?    Then it notes that
the microwave should be placed in an appropriate ventilation hood.
So does that mean that the microwave needs to be in a hood?  How do you
understand this question from CAP?

Thanks,
