Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
1. Use this range for its intended purpose as described in this instruction manual.
2. Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
3. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installer or
service technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
4. Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas or propane (LP) gas. It
can be converted for use with either. If required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
5. Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off
if necessary.
6. Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not removed the round grounding
prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension code with this range.
7. Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the
household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
8. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent
ignition of these materials.
9. Avoid scratching or impacting glass displays. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not
cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur.
10. Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the range.
11. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven-children
who climb onto the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
12. Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets
that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are
located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of
the range.
13. Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating
element. Do not use a towel or other bulky fabrics in place of pot holders.
6
Extremely Heavy.
Proper equipment and adequate manpower are needed when move the range to avoid
personal injury or damage to the unit or the floor.
Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
DO NOT carry or lift the cooking range by the oven door handle or the control panel!
14. Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient
time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
opening, crevices around the oven door, metal trim parts above the door, any backguard, or
high shelf surface.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing any injury.
7
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use a food
thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
Keep the ventilator hood and grease filter clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case of a fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the cooktop. The blower if in operation, could spread the flames.
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out.
Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a
burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
8
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may
ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap
heat causing risk of smoke or fire.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Escaping hot air or steam can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor.
These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or
fire.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored
in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire
or burns.
Never broil with the door open. Open-door broiling is not advised due to overheating of control knobs.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily
foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when frying in a shallow pan and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that
matches the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames may be hazardous.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop use; others may break
because of a sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, cookware handles
should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner
resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

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:
a. 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.
b. 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.
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.

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).
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.

Ignition
To light the cooktop burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to a “Hi”
position. You will hear a clicking noise –the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.
Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the flame size. If
the knob stays at “Hi”, it will continue to click.
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “Hi” position, all the burners will spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap,
burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.
Hi Ignites the burners.
Simmer Melting small quantities, steaming rice, warming food, melting
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
• 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.
The oven light is controlled by a push switch on the control panel.
The light can be used while cooking or cleaning the oven.

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.
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.

od 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.
oven function
function
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.
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.
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.

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

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
