SOURCE: hole in the microwave
Where exactly is the hole in the microwave?
If it's a hole in the actual metal chassis of the oven, it should not be used and you should contact Dacor customer service:
http://ww2.dacor.com/services/index.asp
Quite often this is due to grease or food particles stuck to the inside of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover.
The waveguide cover is usually about the size of a playing card and often held in place by a plastic rivet.
It can be fragile, and the metal edges of the oven behind it can be sharp, so be careful!
The cover and the metal behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.
If the cavity metal of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded smmoth and clean.
Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart or Lowe's.
If your waveguide cover is burned, it will need to be replaced. Dacor can help you find one.

If the sparking has stopped, that should be fine.
If you have a burned spot you may need to sand it and repaint it with appliance paint from Wal-Mart, etc.
You can probably replace the shelf bracket / hook if it's still available.
If you'll post your brand and model, we'll see if we can steer you toward a source for a new shelf bracket.
If it's a Kenmore, you can probably find an exploded view by entering your FULL model number here: http://www3.sears.com (the 3 is correct)

SOURCE: will tin foil in the microwave ruin it completely?
You should always put a spoon in a cup of liquid that you heat in a microwave oven.
The microwave with a potato wrapped in tin foil is like operating the oven with nothing in it! If the microwave was spotlessly clean then your in trouble.
1 put a cup of cold water in the microwave and set for 5 minutes. if the water boils then your lucky if it cold then go and buy a new microwave and stop your childs allowance for a fortnight.
One might ask the question how old is your child and should they be using such a machine unsupervised!
SOURCE: We brought a Tesco microwave at CULLOMPTON Tesco,
This is almost certainly some of the protective oils and varnishes which were applied during manufacture flashing off.
All new products of this type do this to some degree but your description seems to indicate that it's much worse than normal with your machine.
Ordinarily, you can expect this to cease after a few uses and if the level of smoke and odour you've described is to be expected then the instruction booklet should say so. But as yours has visible smoke and a burning plastic smell I'd recommend that you exercise your rights under the Sale of Goods Act and return it to Tesco for a full refund or replacement. The smell of burnt lubricant is one thing, but a burning plastic smell means you can never trust the oven to be safe: none of the many microwave ovens which I've dealt with have ever smelled of burning plastic unless there was a fault.
You won't find any objection from Tesco as they do have good customer service; and when I lived in Cullompton briefly earlier this year the local branch was even better than usual at keeping customers happy.
I hope that you have found my reply to be of assistance and ask in return only that you return the favour by rating my answer.
