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.

 
 
Are you sure it didn't vent outside? They're supposed to.

I think that became codespec in the 1980's.  Units before that might or
might not.  The fan in my bathroom just vents to the attic (we don't
use it).  1963 (when house was built) had no specific 'vent outside'
requirement here.
