The product, in the report: Over the stove microwave
My wife was using the popcorn setting to pop popcorn when she noticed fire coming from the magnoter (spelling) unit at the top of the microwave. The plastic covering melted and burned a hole in the popcorn bag. We pulled the plug and put out the fire. But the microwave is ruined.
