Having just reinstalled my Brand new GE Micro/Convection-
Didn't take into account that Mrs. Drew is 5'3" I'll wade in--
1 real men toss the directions
2- seems to me that the overall length of vent is not to exceed 20 lf W/  a
formula where in you add 2 or 3 ft for every elbow
so you seem to be within design parameters here-
3- did you remount/configure the fan for exhaust?have you given it the Marlboro
test??
4- did you remove the blue plastic tape that was holding the outside damper
closed?
5- have you removed those shiny silvery filters on the bottom
6- is 4" enough??
