IMPORTANT: Keep the injectors removed from the range for future use.

STEP 3: Gas Valve

a. Remove control knobs.

b. Using a flat screwdriver, adjust main burner bypass jets toward to 1/4 circle for LP until the flame is normal. For 20,000btu burners, please refer to fig.1, which is in the left side of valve axis.

PLEASE NOTE: By turning the screwdriver clockwise, you can decrease the flame intensity, while turning it counter-clockwise will increase the flame. If the igniter remains continuously on after making the adjustment, it indicates that the screw has been tightened excessively and needs to be loosened to allow more gas to flow through the burner.

STEP 4: Reconnect Gas and Electrical Supply

Leak testing of the range shall be conducted according to the installation instructions provided with the range. Before operating the range after the gas conversion, always check for leaks with a soapy water solution or other acceptable method at gas connections installed between the gas inlet pipe of the range, gas regulator, and the manual shut-off valve.

Use soapy solutions to check for leakage on all joints.

WARNING: DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leakage.

STEP 5: Installation of New Rating Label

Record the model and serial number on the LP / Propane conversion label provided in this kit. The information can be obtained from the existing Rating / Serial label. Place the LPG conversion label as close as possible to the existing Rating / Serial label 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.

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 clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower.

Operation and Maintenance

Anti-Tip Bracket

To prevent the range from tipping forward, the anti-tip bracket must be installed. Refer to the section of ANTI-TIP DEVICE.

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 manufacturer'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).

DO NOT Forget Before Getting Started

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• 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.
• The range mounted on its legs.
• Have the anti-tip device been properly installed.
• Ground the electricity properly.
• Connect the gas service line following the directions of the manufacturer.
• Check the gas connection for leaks.
• Make sure the range has been set for the type of gas available in the household.
• Make sure the flame appears sharp blue, with no yellow tipping, shooting or flame lifting.
• Adjust the minimum setting for all burners.

Cooktop Operation

The burner assembly contains all accessories in one set. The burner cap must be seated on the burner horizontally. 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

CAUTION: Never leave pans on a high setting unattended. Be careful when cooking food in fat or grease; it can become hot enough to ignite.

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 periods 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 pasta.

Please Note: Only the 20,000BTU burner can reach a simmer flame to the minimum setting.

Flame Intensity:

• When you adjust the flame intensity, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
• Any flame engulfing the cookware is wasted.
• The flame should stay steady and blue in color. Impurity in the gas supply 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 grills must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grills may result in scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
2. Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on the grills.

NOTE: On the 48" unit, there's a total of 4 grates, 3 that are the same and one unique slightly wider than the others. The unique grate has one side wider than the other. The wider side needs to overlap the middle junction of the cooktop, creating one continuous grate.

Griddle Operation (Available on the 48" 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 a 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 way. 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.

CAUTION: The surface of griddle and grills are hot after use. Please allow sufficient time for the griddle to cool before cleaning.

Air Fryer

To cook your food to the perfect crispy-golden results, please follow the next steps:

1. Move 1 oven rack to the lowest position to hold the baking pan.
2. Place the baking pan on the bottom rack.
3. Put your food onto the air fry basket and spread it evenly in a single layer.
4. Place the air fry basket, filled with your food, on the air fry rack, and insert them in the middle position of the oven shelf, then close the door.
5. Turn on the convection fan and set the oven temperature between 325°F and 350°F, and watch closely to the cooking food.

Tips:

• Air Fry cooking requires little to no oil.
• High-fat foods such as skin-on chicken wings, bacon or sausage can cause smoke when using the air fry component. Please add parchment paper or aluminum foil to the baking tray for easy cleaning purpose.
• Make sure the baking pan is right underneath of the air fry basket, working as the drip tray.
• Check your food often, because air fry cooking requires less time than regular cooking.
• Open a door or window to ensure the cooking area is well ventilated.

Steam Clean:

1. Put 1 cup (240mL) of distilled or filtered water into the baking pan.
2. Heat the oven to 450°F for 20-30 minutes.
3. Once the steam clean has completed, turn off your oven.
4. When it's cool, wipe grease and debris from your oven using a damp rag or sponge. Concentrate on removing only debris and grease that comes off easily. The steam cleaning process will loosen up the more stubborn, caked-on grime.

Tips:

• Using distilled or filtered water instead of tap water will keep your oven free of water spots and mineral deposits.
• Be sure to wait until your oven is completely cool before starting to clean it.
• Make sure to clean any racks that are in the oven as well.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.
• This step may get pretty messy, so be sure to put on some old clothes and keep a garbage can nearby.

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.

WARNING: 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 Roasting

Some ranges are equipped with an automatic rotisserie for roasting. The rotisserie feature allows for an even cooking and all-over browning of the meat while preventing the meat from cooking in its rendered grease. The rotisserie will turn the meat allowing it to baste itself while roasting.

Be sure that you have received the rotisserie accessories included with your unit:

• (1) Rotisserie Spit – Rod
• (2) Rotisserie Forks

Always use the broiling pan when using the rotisserie to catch the rendered grease and allow for easy access to the meat when putting in and removing the rotisserie spit – rod.

To use the rotisserie, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. Secure the meat to be cooked onto spit-rod using the rotisserie forks. Insert the rotisserie spit-rod into the rotating assembly and select the desired rotisserie function (light on or light off).

Oven Baking 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. 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. Note: Damages caused by material left on the porcelain will not be covered by the warranty.
2. Position the racks before preheating the oven.
3. Reduce the oven temperature 25°F (14°C) when cooking in heat-proof glass or glass ceramic dishes.

WARNING: This range is designed for closed door cooking only. Always cook with the door closed.
