Can I use metal bowls in this microwave?
No, you should never use metal containers or aluminum foil as they can cause arcing and damage the unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the microwave is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate clearance for ventilation, typically 10-15cm from the back and sides. Before first use, clean the interior and the removable glass turntable with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. To maintain the unit, wipe down the interior walls after every use to prevent splatter buildup. The glass turntable should be washed in warm, soapy water periodically. Avoid using harsh scouring pads that could scratch the internal lining. Always ensure the air vents are kept clear of obstructions like tea towels or kitchen decor to prevent overheating.
