Default ventimg above range Microwave. inside/outside

There was a Hood with a 7" Round hole for the Vent right on the top. Then it
went Right 90 to the back wall. Then Left 90 to the vent that went out a
Side Wall.

So my issues is that I have to get that stupid rectangular to round adapter
and the 2 90's in place to match up with the Existing Vent. We are thinking
to do a vent out the back of the Micro hood, then right 90 up, then left 90
over, but it will end up looking like some funny 'S' shaped thing.

I hate hodge poge/jimmy-rig setups. I hate spending more money and time
then I have to for a rental too!

Dang, so it looks like we are split...


I guess since the outside wall penetration is there I just need to get
the
vent there from the hood. ?I'll not be lazy on this one I guess...


Thanks...

So I get this above range Microwave/hood. ?It has 3 options for
Venting,
top, back or re-circ... Re-circ?


So this ,ay save a few days ?worth of work. ?When is a recirc venting
okay
and when is it not?


The Range is in a 522 SqFt Rental Unit. Its a basic coiler burner
electric
unit.


Suggestions?

I'm wondering what is over the stove now? A vent hood that goes to
the outside? When we did over our kitchen, we took down the original
vent fan - there is a round pipe that runs up through the cabinet to
the roof. The microwave had a place to vent it that fit the pipe. We
don't use the fan very much, even on high it isn't real powerful. But
it rarely is necessary. I cook so much in the microwave that I had
previously cooked on top of the stove that I don't need too much
venting.
