STEP 7: Air Shutter Oven Burner (no necessary)
The air shutter for the oven burner may need adjustment, especially if the unit has been converted for use with LP. The approximate flame height at the oven burner is one inch (distinctive inner blue flame). To determine if the oven burner flame is acceptable:

• With the kick plate removed, set the oven to bake at 350° F and observe the flame. If the flame yellow in color, increase the air shutter opening size. If the flame is blue and lifting away from the burner, reduce the air shutter opening size.
• Turn off the oven and allow it to cool before adjusting the air shutter. To adjust, loosen the lock screw, reposition the air shutter and tighten the lock screw. Retest the burner by repeating the steps above. When the burner flame is a distinct blue colour and burning steadily, the air shutter is adjusted correctly.

STEP 8: Installation of New Rating Label
Record the model and serial number on the LP / Propane Rating serial plate provided in this kit. The information can be obtained from the existing Rating / Serial plate. Place the new plate as close as possible to the existing Rating / Serial plate on the range.

Preparation
Before moving the range, protect any finished flooring and secure oven door(s) closed to prevent damage. The oven door(s) can be removed to lighten the load or to fit the unit through a doorway. Only remove if necessary. Do not remove the griddle or any other component. Door removal should only be done by a certified installer or service technician.

Placement
Do not lift or carry the oven door by the door handle. Use an appliance dolly to move the range near the opening. Remove and recycle packing materials. Do not discard the anti-tip bracket supplied with the range.

Leveling
Raise the range to the desired height by adjusting the legs. The legs can be adjusted by rotating the metal leg leg clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower.

Anti-Tip Bracket
To prevent the range from tipping forward, the anti-tip bracket must be installed. Refer to the illustration on page 5.

Gas Supply Connection
All connections to the gas piping must be wrench-tightened. Do not overtighten or allow pipes to turn when tightening. When all connections have been made, check that all range controls are in the “OFF” position and turn on the main gas supply valve.
If a flexible metal connector is being used, verify it is not kinked, then attach the gas supply line to the regulator on the range. Open the valve and check for leaks by placing a liquid detergent solution onto all gas connections. Bubbles around connections indicate a gas leak. If a leak appears, close the shut-off valve and adjust connections.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacture’s instructions .Use some soap water (50% water and 50% soap) or a leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system. Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut- off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5kPa).

Getting Started

Before you start cooking, please take the following steps.

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Remove the protective film on steel and aluminum parts.
• Clean the range thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth to remove any residual oil and grease left over from the manufacturing process.
• Check that surface burner components are assembled correctly.
• Furnish the interior of the oven by inserting the shelves and tray.

Cooktop Operation
The burner design combines all burner parts in one assembly. The burner cap must be seated horizontally on the burner. Refer to the illustration.

Ignition
To light up the cooktop burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to “Hi” position. You will hear a clicking noise –the sound of ignition pin sparking. Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust to desired flame intensity.

Heat Settings:

chocolate or butter.

Low| Melting large quantities.
Low-Medium| Low-temperature frying, simmering large quantities, heating milk,

cream sauces, gravies.

Medium| Sautéing and browning, braising, pan-frying, maintaining

slow boil on large quantities.

Medium-Hi| High-temperature frying, pan boiling, maintaining slow boil

on large quantities.

Hi| Boiling liquid quickly, deep frying.

Simmer and Boil

A smaller flame will give the best results when simmering. Small flames offer precise cooking performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking over low heat for long period of time. The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking jobs such as boiling water and cooking pasts.

Flame Size

• When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
• Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
• The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation.

Power Failure

• If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
• In the event of a power failure, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn the knob counter-clockwise to “HI”. After burner lights, turn knob to the desired setting.

Burner Grates

1. The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
2. Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on the grates

Griddle Operation (available on the 48”and 60″models)

Before Using the Griddle

1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove dust or any protective coating.
2. Rinse with clean water and wipe off to dry with soft, clean, lint-free towel/cloth.

Use of the Cook plate (Griddle)

Your FORNO range may have come with a standard reversible grill/griddle. For best use and results please read below.
Pre-heat gently – Because the FORNO grill/griddle is so large it can take time for it to heat evenly. Once it’s up to temp it will stay there for a long time! We recommend starting with your range set to low heat and gradually increasing the heat until you get to your target temp. It’s easier to make a grill hotter once it’s already warmed up, by pre heating slowly you can control the heat more easily. To be efficient with your time you can start the pre-heating process while you’re getting your ingredients together. It typically takes 10-15 minutes to completely pre-heat the FORNO grill/griddle this when pre-heating in this manner. Then enjoy your cooking experience on the FORNO grill/griddle
Start low and don’t overheat! – You might get the urge to turn your burners up to full blast the first time you use the FORNO grill/griddle, but don’t! Burners only need to be set to 1/3 to 1/2 power to heat the grill/griddle to over 500 degrees. Most chefs agree that the maximum cooking temperature you’ll ever need is 500-550 degrees for searing a steak.

Cooktop Cleaning Tips

• To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
• The sealed burners of your range are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Light
The oven light is controlled by a push switch on the control panel. The light can be used while cooking or cleaning the oven.
Check that power is disconnected from the electrical box before replacing the light bulb. Allow the oven to cool completely, then unscrew the light cover and remove the light bulb by unscrewing it from the socket. Replace with a 40-watt halogen bulb.

LED Light Switch
Use the LED light switch to turn on the LED lights when the room becomes dark.

Oven Operation

Oven Baking Tips

1. Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. The aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use aluminum foil on any porcelain surface. Doing so will damage the porcelain and affect its durability.
2. Position the racks before preheating the oven.
3. Reduce the oven temperature 57.2˚F (14˚C)when cooking in heat-proof glass or glass ceramic dishes.

Preheating
Allow the oven to preheat before placing food in the oven. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Remove any cookware before preheating with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hot metal. To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector knob to the “Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes.
Note: Condensation or fogging on the inside of the oven door glass is normal while preheating and it will usually evaporate by the end of the preheating cycle.

Oven Function
Natural Airflow Bake occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow.This is a traditional bake setting.

Convection Bake
Heat is transferred from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity to the oven cavity itself. The convection fan at the rear of the oven then circulates it. This convection process provides a more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Using multiple racks is possible for large-batch baking. Convection cooking is faster, can be done at lower temperatures and provides more even temperatures than regular cooking.

Convection Roast
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using a broiler pan, heated air will be circulated over the around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product, while at the same time creating a rich golden brown exterior. When convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to prevent grease splatters.

Convection Defrost
With temperature control off, the motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid illness and food waste, do not allow defrost food to remain in the oven for more than two hours without being cooked.

Convection Dehydrate
With the temperature control on 175˚F, warm air is radiated from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.

Broiler Operation

Note: Door must be closed during broiling operation.
The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the metal screen until it glows. The glowing screen produces heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the broiler in the oven. Oven broiling is done with the oven door closed. It is normal and even necessary to have some smoke to give the food a broiled flavor.

Setting Broil
The “Oven” function knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500˚F (260˚C). Used together, the broil pan(not included) and insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. To set the oven to Broil:

1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan and position it directly under the broil burner. If preheating the broil burner first, position the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated.
3. Turn the knob to Broil.
   The oven indicator light will remain on until the knob is turned to the off position or the temperature control cycles off. Position the rack at the correct level. The farther away the food is from the broiler, the more well done it will be inside. Preheating the oven is necessary. Push in and turn the knob to BROIL. Turn the food over at the halfway point. Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.

Oven Cleaning Tips

1. After each use, and once cooled, clean splatters and spills immediately.
2. Do not allow foods with a high sugar or acid content to remain on the oven cavity surface.
3. Use an oven cleaner to clean the oven cavity.

Oven Thermostat & Cooking times

The numbers printed on the control panel indicate the increasing oven temperature value (°F). To regulate the temperature, set the desired number on the control knob indicator.
Note: The BROIL position is only to turn on the broil burner. Cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its density and its size. It is advisable to watch when cooking for the first time and to check results since similar results are obtained when preparing the same dishes under the same conditions. Use the thermostat to control the temperatures, and control the time according to the cooking guides.

Care and Cleaning Recommendations

Stainless steel| Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth followed by a dry polishing cloth. Always follow the grain of

stainless steel.

---|---
Burner grates Oven rack guides| Remove and place on a flat surface near the sink. Clean with hot water and mild

detergent or paste of baking soda and water. Do not immerse in water. Towel dry.

Burner pan| Remove surface debris before cleaning to help speed up the cleaning process and decrease the chance of scratching the surface during cleaning. Using mild abrasive cleaners or spray degreasers, clean and rinse the surface and dry immediately to avoid streaking. To clean hard water stains, use white vinegar

and water. Rinse and dry immediately.

Surface burners| Allow to cool. Use mild detergent or spray degreaser to clean. Rinse with water

and towel dry.

Control knobs| Using a damp cloth, wipe with a mild detergent or spray degreaser; rinse and

dry. Do not place in dishwasher.

Oven interior| Use mild abrasive cleaners, spray degreasers. Use a razor blade to gently lift baked on foods from oven cavity and window. For stubborn stains, spray with a mild abrasive cleaner or spray degreaser. Wash the entire oven cavity with soap

and water to remove all cleaning chemicals.

Oven racks| To clean the upper rack, use mild detergent and a scouring pad. Rinse and dry. To clean the bottom pan, discard grease and wash with hot water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry. The stainless steel upper rack is dishwasher safe.

However, do not place the porcelain-coated rack or pan in dishwasher.

Troubleshooting Tips

Before you call for service

Range does not operate

| Check that power is on.

Check that electrical power to range and home circuit breaker is on.

---|---
Burners Do Not Light Or Spark Randomly| Electrical plug is not plugged into a live power outlet. Gas supply not turned on.

Burner parts not replaced correctly.

Holes in the simmer rings or slits in the burner rings are clogged.

Clogged nozzles, or wet burners or electrodes.

A fuse in your home may be blown or circuit breaker tripped.

Burners Have Yellow Or Yellow-Tipped Flames| Burner parts not replaced correctly.

A.  Yellow flames: Call for service.

B.  Yellow tips on outer cones: Normal for propane (LP) gas.

C.  Soft blue flames: Normal for natural gas.

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas.

Burner Flames Very Large Or Yellow| The range may be connected to the wrong fuel type. Contact

the person who installed your range or made the conversion.

Burner Flames Contain Orange Flickers| Airborne dust; cool-mist humidifier; debris on or inside burner.
Oven Lights Do Not Work| The light bulb is defective. Replace the bulb.
Oven Racks Are Hard To Slide| Do not spray with a cooking spray or other lubricant sprays. See Full extension oven racks in the Care and Cleaning

section.

Food Does Not Bake Or Roast Properly| The oven controls are improperly set. See the Baking or Roasting section.

Oven not preheated for a long enough time.

 | Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used. Racks in the wrong position. See the Baking or Roasting section.

Use a foil tent to slow down browning during roasting.

Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Oven thermostat adjustment section.

---|---
Food Does Not Broil Properly| This model is designed for closed door broiling only. Close the door. Always broil with the door closed.

The oven controls are not set at BROIL. See the Broiling section.

Improper rack position.

Cookware is not suited for broiling. Use the broiling pan and rack that came with your oven.

Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and rack has not been

fitted properly and slit as recommended.

Oven Temperature Too Hot Or Too

Cold

| Need to adjust the oven knob temperature setting.
Steam From The Vent| When using the convection mode, it is normal to see steam coming out of the oven vent. As the number of racks or amount of food being cooked increases, the amount of visible steam

will increase.

Burning Or Oily Odor Emitting From

The Vent

| This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time.
Strong Odor| This is temporary. An odour caused by the insulation around the inside of the oven is normal for the first few times the oven

is used.

Convection Fan Not On All The Time| The convection fan (depending on the function you are using) may cycle on and off until the function is over or the door is opened for optimized performance.

This is normal. In addition, the convection fan may cycle in the clockwise and counter clockwise direction until the function is

over or the door is opened.

Condensation Or Fogging On The Inside of the Door Glass| Condensation or fogging on the inside of the oven door glass is

normal during the preheating of the oven and will evaporate usually by the end of the preheating cycle.

Cracking Or Popping Sound During

Cleaning

| This is normal. This is the sound of the metal heating and

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Excessive Smoking Occurs During Cleaning| The oven is heavily soiled. Turn the Oven Mode Selector and the Temperature knobs to OFF. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the locked door indicator light goes

off. Wipe up excess soil and do the cleaning again.
