No, the cooking space (the cavity) is not "closed" but has air moving through it. There is some variation from machine to machine, but there is a general theme that is usually common. Let's look at it. The magnatron, the device which generates the microwaves, gets hot, and a fan blows air through the cooling fins to keep it from overheating. This air is ducted into the cavity through a set of "holes" in the wall. The cavity light also sits in that duct, and it shines through the holes where the air is entering the cavity. The air moves across the cavity and exits on the other side. There is air moving through the cavity when the unit is running.
