Mine vents to the outside. I just have to remember to turn on the fan.
Actually, when I turn the knob to clean, the stove automatically turns
on the suction fan.

 Do you have a downdraft vent on your range?  My vent and range
are completely independent, although if the vent detects a sufficient
temperature rise it will turn itself on.

My mother has a Jenn-Aire range with a downdraft fan between the burners.  Circa early 2000's.  It did not vent outside, I have no clue where it vented to... Maybe just behind the stove.  The concept of the fan seemed odd to me, especially on "high", it pulled heat down away from what's cooking above.  It almost pulls the flame out if the flame is low.
