Mostly False
The text questions if it's safe to use an over-the-stove microwave on a countertop with the exhaust fan off.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (27/100).
The claim that it is okay to use an over-the-stove microwave on a countertop with the exhaust fan off is not supported by the evidence. According to Whirlpool, over-the-range microwaves are not UL approved for countertop use due to their specific ventilation systems and installation requirements. Using them on a countertop could lead to poor air circulation and potential damage. This suggests that it is not safe or recommended to use these microwaves in such a manner.
