How do I install the Fortress FIC11B cooker?

Ensure the cooker is placed on a level, heat-resistant surface. Connect to a dedicated 220-240V power supply with appropriate circuit breaker. Leave at least 5 cm clearance around the cooker for ventilation. Do not install near flammable materials.

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

After the hob cools down, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn residues, use a dedicated ceramic hob scraper and cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.

What should I do if the oven does not heat up?

Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Ensure the oven function and thermostat are set correctly. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician or Fortress service center.

Instruction on Function Cooking Mode

Based on desired cooking result, you can select different function cooking modes. For the sake of convenient operation, we provide the following instructions:

1	The hot pot mode applies to heating modes such as Hot pot and Boil. During heating, you can adjust time and firepower at any moment. When water in the pot is burned out or the temperature is abnormally high, the machine will automatically switch to self-protection.
2	Cooking modes such as Deep Fry and Fry are applicable to high-temperature cooking such as chafing dish.During cooking, the firepower for separate function can only be adjusted on the basis of levels ,while the time and firepower can be adjusted at any moment for other function. When food in the pot reaches a temperature point required by the function (highest temperatures may vary with different functions), the induction cooker may heat intermittently or stop heating, and resume heating after the temperature decreases .
3	For cooking modes such as Soup and Braise other than Hot Pot, the induction cooker will control its heating firepower on the basis of timing and temperature of food in the pot. In these models , firepower can be adjusted at any time in the adjustable range, but the induction cooker will resume automatic firepower control based on cooking effects after 2 minutes. After the working time elapses, Soup functions will go into two-hour warm keeping automatically.
4	The Boil cooking mode is applied to boiling water. After water boiling for some time, the induction cooker can shut down in an automatic manner.⚠Caution:It is recommended that water volume to be boiled should occupy 30%-80% of the pot.The effect of boiling may be a little different due to various factors such as the uneven bottom of the pot or weather.A special soup pot or kettle can be selected for water boiling.
5	“Stir - fry” cooking mode is for heating with strong power.When the temperature of the ingredients reaches the temperature level provided by the selected mode (the highest temperature of various modes are different), the induction cooker will switch to interval heating or stops heating. After the temperature cools down, the induction cooker restarts heating.
