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.

 
It is supposed to, but it's an old house, and the stove is backed to
an interior wall, center of the house.  I never found a vent anywhere
along the exterior or roof.
 
Another house I grew up in, both bathroom ceiling vents went straight
into the attic and stopped.  I'm glad that I checked, because that
could have been a moldy mess up there from humidity had we regularly
used the fans.
