Gas Conversion Operation

This range can be used with LP gas and NG gas. It ships set for NG (Natural Gas). Conversion nozzles are included. Follow the instructions for gas conversion.

WARNING: Gas conversion must be conducted by a trained professional. Failure to do so may void the warranty. Forno may request proof of professional conversion.

WARNING: Before conversion, disconnect the range from gas and electricity to prevent fire, electrical shock, injury, or death. Do not remove the regulator or allow it to turn during servicing.

The gas conversion procedure includes 8 steps: Pressure regulator, Cooktop burners, Oven burner, Broil burner, Gas valves, Reconnect Gas and Electrical Supply, Air shutter oven burner, Installation of new rating label.

STEP 1: Pressure Regulator

Access the regulator by pulling the range away from the wall. It's located at the bottom back left corner. [Diagrams showing regulator positioning for NG and LP]. Follow specific instructions for rotating the brass insert and re-installing the cap.

STEP 2: Cooktop Burners

Remove grates, caps, and inner rings. Lift off burner heads and bases. Remove factory natural gas nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench and replace with LP nozzles. Tighten snugly. [Diagram of socket wrench].

IMPORTANT: Each nozzle has a flow diameter number. Consult the table for matching nozzles and burners.

ORIFICE FOR NATURAL GAS (NG) & LIQUID PROPANE (LP)

[Diagrams showing burner configurations and BTU ratings for FFSGS6244-30, FFSGS6244-36, FFSGS6244-48, FFSGS6244-60 models]

STEP 3: Oven Burner

Remove screws securing the kick panel and pull it forward. Remove screws holding the nozzle bracket and locate the nozzle. Replace with the oven burner nozzle (1.32mm) and tighten. Align the nozzle into the air shutter. Repeat for 18" oven (48" ranges only).

Oven Burner Nozzle Sizes:

STEP 4: Broil Burner

Remove screws fixing the nozzle bracket. Use a 5/8" or 19mm wrench to remove the gas line. Use a 1½" wrench to remove the nozzle from the orifice holder. Replace with a 0.94 mm oven broiler nozzle.

Broil Nozzle Sizes:

STEP 5: Gas Valve

Remove control knobs. Adjust main burner bypass jets towards 1/4 circle for LP until the flame is normal. Refer to figures for 9,000/15,000BTU and 20,000BTU burners.

PLEASE NOTE: If bypass jets are too tight, the igniter may stay on when the burner is set to minimum.

STEP 6: Reconnect Gas and Electrical Supply

Leak testing must be conducted according to installation instructions. Before operating after conversion, check for leaks with a soapy water solution or leak detector at all gas connections. Do not use a flame to check for leaks.

STEP 7: Air Shutter Oven Burner

The air shutter may need adjustment, especially if converted to LP. The approximate flame height is one inch (inner blue flame). To check flame acceptability: set oven to bake at 350°F, observe flame. If yellow, increase air shutter opening. If blue and lifting, reduce opening. Turn off oven, cool, loosen lock screw, reposition shutter, tighten lock screw, and retest. A distinct blue, steady flame indicates correct adjustment.

STEP 8: Installation of New Rating Label

Record model and serial number on the LP/Propane Rating serial plate. Place the new plate near the existing one.

Preparation: Protect flooring and secure oven doors closed before moving. Oven doors can be removed for easier handling or fitting through doorways, but this should only be done by a certified installer.

Placement: Do not lift or carry the oven door by the handle. Use an appliance dolly. Remove and recycle packing materials. Do not discard the anti-tip bracket.

Leveling: Adjust legs by rotating them clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower.

Anti-Tip Bracket: Must be installed to prevent tipping. Refer to illustration on page 5.

Gas Supply Connection

All connections to the gas piping must be wrench-tightened. Do not overtighten. Ensure all range controls are OFF and turn on the main gas supply valve. If using a flexible metal connector, ensure it is not kinked. Attach the gas supply line to the regulator. Open the valve and check for leaks with a liquid detergent solution; bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak appears, close the shut-off valve and adjust connections. Leak testing must be conducted per manufacturer's instructions using soap water or a leak detector. Do not use a flame. The appliance must be isolated from the building's gas supply piping system by closing its manual shut-off valve during pressure testing.

Getting Started:

• Remove exterior and interior packing.
• Remove protective film.
• Clean the range thoroughly with hot water and mild detergent, rinse, and dry.
• Check that surface burner components are assembled correctly.
• Insert shelves and tray into the oven interior.

Cooktop Operation

The burner design combines all parts in one assembly. The burner cap must be seated horizontally on the burner. [Illustration of a cooktop burner assembly with labeled parts: Burner Cap, Igniter, Sealed Burner].

Ignition: To light cooktop burners, push and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to "Hi". You will hear a clicking noise from the electric spark. Once ignited, turn the knob to adjust flame size. If the knob stays at "Hi", it will continue to click.

NOTE: When one burner is at "Hi", all burners will spark. Do not attempt to clean around burners while another is on. Do not touch burner caps, bases, or igniters while sparking.

Heat Settings:

Simmer and Boil: A smaller flame is best for simmering delicate foods, keeping food warm, or cooking over low heat. Larger flame settings provide maximum heat for heavy cooking jobs like boiling water.

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

Flame Size: Watch the flame when turning the knob. Any flame larger than the cookware bottom is wasted. The flame should be steady and blue. Foreign material may cause an orange flame.

Power Failure: If gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and wait five minutes for gas to dissipate. Repeat lighting. In a power failure, surface burners can be lighted manually by holding a lit match near the burner and turning the knob to "HI".

Burner Grates:

1. Grills must be properly positioned before cooking to avoid scratching or poor combustion. 2. Do not operate burners without a pan or utensil on the grills.

NOTE: Grate sizes vary by model. For 48" models, there are 4 grates (3 identical, 1 wider). For 60" models, there are 5 grates (2 wider). The wider side of a grate should lap the middle joint of the stove surface for continuous coverage. [Diagram showing grate placement for 48" and 60" models]

Griddle Operation (Available on the 48" and 60" models)

Before Using the Griddle:

1. Clean the griddle with warm, soapy water to remove dust or protective coating.
2. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free towel.
3. If the 20,000 BTU burner clicks continuously at maximum position, try adjusting the fire to a lower position.

Use of the Cook plate (Griddle): Your Forno range may include a reversible grill/griddle. For best results, pre-heat gently. It takes 10-15 minutes for the grill/griddle to heat evenly. Start with low heat and gradually increase. Start low and don't overheat; burners only need 1/3 to 1/2 power to reach over 500 degrees. Most chefs agree 500-550 degrees is sufficient for searing steak.

CAUTION: The griddle surface is hot after use. Allow sufficient time to cool before cleaning.

Cooktop Cleaning Tips:

• Clean cooktop after each use and wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
• Sealed burners are removable. Boil overs will not seep underneath. Clean burners after each use.

Oven Light:

Controlled by a push switch on the control panel. The light can be used while cooking or cleaning. WARNING: Disconnect power before replacing the bulb. Allow oven to cool, then unscrew the light cover and bulb. Replace with a 40-watt halogen bulb.

Oven Operation

Oven Baking Tips:

1. Never cover oven slots, holes, passages, or racks with aluminum foil. This blocks airflow, may cause carbon monoxide poisoning, and can create a fire hazard. Do not use foil on porcelain surfaces, as it will damage the porcelain.
2. Position racks before preheating the oven.

Preheating: Allow the oven to preheat before placing food. Preheat for baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. Remove cookware before preheating with the infrared broiler. To preheat, turn the "Oven" selector knob to "Broil" for approximately 2 minutes until the burner is hot. Condensation on the oven door glass is normal during preheating.

Oven Function:

• Natural Airflow Bake: Heat from bake burners is circulated by natural airflow.
• Convection Bake: Heat from bake burners is circulated by a fan at the rear of the oven for more even heat distribution. This allows faster cooking at lower temperatures.
• Convection Roast: The convection fan circulates heated air evenly over and around food. Using a broiler pan helps seal in juices and creates a golden brown exterior.

Convection Defrost: The fan circulates air without heat to accelerate natural defrosting. Do not leave food in the oven for more than two hours without cooking.

Convection Dehydrate: Warm air is radiated from bake burners and circulated by the fan at 175°F to remove water from food via evaporation, inhibiting microbial growth.

Broiler Operation:

Note: Door must be closed during broiling. The broil burner heats a metal screen until it glows, producing heat to sear food. Broiling is cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the broiler. Some smoke is normal. Setting Broil: The "Oven" function knob controls the Broil feature. Heat radiates downward for even coverage. Broil temperature is 500°F (260°C). Use the broil pan and insert to drain grease. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert or cover the insert with foil. To set for Broil: 1. Place broiler pan insert on broiler pan, then place food on insert. 2. Arrange interior oven rack, place broiler pan on rack, centering it under the broil burner. Preheat burner first if desired. 3. Turn function knob to Broil. The oven indicator light stays on until the function is off or the temperature control cycles off. Position rack correctly; farther from broiler means more well-done. Preheat oven. Push in and turn knob to BROIL. Turn food halfway through. Pull rack out to "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Oven Cleaning Tips:

1. Clean splatters and spills immediately after the oven cools.
2. Do not leave high-sugar or high-acid foods on the oven cavity surface.
3. Use an oven cleaner for the oven cavity.

Oven Thermostat & Cooking Times

Control panel numbers indicate oven temperature (°F). Set the desired number on the control knob. The "BROIL" position turns on the broil burner only. Cooking times vary by food type, density, and size. Watch cooking and check results. Use the thermostat for temperature and follow cooking guides for time.

The unit has a cooling fan that activates when the temperature is above 158°F (70°C) to ensure internal components remain within safe operating temperatures. The fan stays on until the temperature drops below 158°F (70°C). It may run for up to 30 minutes after the range is turned off.

Care and Cleaning Recommendations:

• Stainless steel: Use a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. Wipe with a water-dampened microfiber cloth, then dry polish, following the grain.
• Burner grates: Remove and clean with hot water and mild detergent or baking soda paste. Do not immerse. Towel dry and rub lightly with olive oil to maintain shine and prevent rust.
• Burner pan: Remove surface debris. Use mild abrasive cleaners or degreasers. Rinse and dry immediately. For hard water stains, use white vinegar and water.
• Surface burners: For hard water stains, use white vinegar and water. Rinse and dry. Use mild detergent or degreaser. Rinse and towel dry. Note: Pro-style ranges require high maintenance. If orifices clog, clean them thoroughly. Forno is not responsible for maintenance issues.
• Control knobs: Wipe with a damp cloth, mild detergent, or degreaser; rinse and dry. Do not place in dishwasher.
• Oven interior: Use mild abrasive cleaners or degreasers. Use a razor blade for baked-on foods. For stubborn stains, spray with cleaner. Wash cavity with soap and water.
• Oven racks: Clean upper rack with mild detergent and scouring pad; rinse and dry. Upper rack is dishwasher safe. Clean bottom pan with hot water and mild detergent; rinse and dry. Do not place porcelain-coated racks or pans in the dishwasher.
