I used an electronic stud/ac wire finder to check the area. Then I used a Rotozip tool set to just cut through the 1/16 inch luan and pulled a square section loose from the Styrofoam in the wall. Then I could check for any DC wiring and verify that there was nothing in the foam I had to worry about. Then I cut a matching section from the outside and cut the foam piece out. I drilled a hole in each corner so I knew where to make the outside cuts.
I used an exhaust fan in the space behind the convection/microwave to pull air in from the room and push it out of the vent I installed. I used a vent that was flap type that tipped out when the fan was running. There were a couple of tabs on the outside that turned to hold it in place while in transit. I got it from an RV store.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you do anything special in terms of ducting from the back of the oven to the external vent? That's really my biggest question - how air tight of a seal between the two is achievable and how.
