It's possible, although unlikely, that the builder installed a duct from behind the microwave to the outside. If so, the microwave fan can be rotated 90 degrees to vent air out the rear of the microwave. I would check it out. If you don't have a duct, I would install a new vent hood and duct in the kitchen, not through the microwave.
