Electrical Supply The cord supplied with the gas ranges having an electric griddle requires a NEMA 5-15 receptacle. When the power supply cord is connected to the mating receptacle, the combined plug/receptacle connection should protrude no more than 1,55” (39,4 mm) from the rear wall. This product must be properly grounded.

Figure 2 Choosing Range Location Carefully select the location where the range will be placed. The range should be located for convenient use in the kitchen, but away from strong drafts. Strong drafts may be caused by open doors or windows, or by heating and/or air conditioning vents or fans.
Unpacking, Assembly and Moving of the Range DO NOT lift the range by the oven door’s handle, as this may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit incorrectly. DO NOT lift the appliance by the range’s control panel. The unit is heavy and should be handled accordingly.
Page 12
Unpacking the Range Remove the outer carton and packing materials from the shipping pallet but leave the adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the range is installed in its final position. CAUTION: Stand clear. The ends of the cut banding may snap toward you. It is recommended that the grates, griddle plate, burner caps and oven racks be removed to facilitate handling.

Pull out the hand-truck, tilt the range laterally and insert the legs. After the electrical and gas connections (see both paragraphs for instructions) measure the four corners in cutout area to verify if flooring is level. Adjust the leveling legs to the desired height and ensure range is level. Turn the bottom section of each leg counter-clockwise to raise the leg and clock wise to lower it.
Installing the Anti-Tip Device • A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. • Ensure the anti-tip bracket is engaged when the range is moved. • Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket in-stalled and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults. To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged: •...

Gas Requirements QUALIFIED SERVICE MAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. High Altitude For altitudes above 2,000 feet (610 m) above sea level, adjustments can be made with the instructions in the manual. If flame performance is satisfactory, will not be required regulation. It is required that a Certified Professional make the high altitude adjustments during installation.
Page 18
Gas Connection OPEN POSITION A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.
Page 19
CAUTION: Do not attempt to attach the flexible connector directly to an external pipe thread. Connection requires flare union adapters. FOR ALTERNATIVE PIPING METHODS TO CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE GAS SUPPLY, A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the instructions given.

GAS REQUIREMENTS Natural Gas Supply Pressure 4” (10 mbar) Min. Line Pressure 5” (12.5 mbar) Max. Line Pressure 14" (34.9 mbar), .5 psi (3.5 kPa) GAS REQUIREMENTS LP Gas Supply Pressure 11" (27 mbar) Min. Line Pressure 12" (27.4 mbar) Max.
Electrical Requirements This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as noted on the rating plate. We recommend having the electrical wiring and hookup of your appliance connected by a qualified electrician.
Page 22
Plug Power Supply Cord • If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non metallic gaskets, union connections or other insulating materials, DO NOT use for grounding. • DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. • DO NOT have a fuse in the NEUTRAL or GROUNDING circuit. A fuse in the NEUTRAL or GROUNDING circuit could result in an electrical shock.
Leveling the Range The top edges of the range’s side panels must be on the same or higher level as the adjacent countertop. If the range is operated while at a lower height relative to the adjacent cabinet, the cabinet could be exposed to excessive tempera- tures, causing damage to the cabinet and countertop.
Fan each of the flames out and allow to reignite to verify burner reignition. If any burners do not carry over, call Forza. Repeat the Ignition and Flame Test procedures, described for each range top burner.
Converting Appliance for Use with LP Gas Conversion is to be performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICER (or other qual- ified agency) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in serious injury or property damage.

Low Flame Adjustment Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the burners only in an emergency. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.
Page 34
CONVERSION FROM NATURAL GAS TO LIQUID GAS Insert the screwdriver in the hole in the front wall of the instrument panel and turn regulation screw A clockwise. Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame of minimum size. The final adjustment should be checked by turning the knob from high to low several times without extinguishing the flame. This adjustment, at low setting, will automatically provide the proper flame size at medium setting.
Page 35
ELECTRIC GAS IGNITION The gas burners use an electric ignition device located near each burner ensures burners ignite automatically. Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the burners only in an emergency. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light.
High-Altitude Adjustment Instructions Valve adjustments must be completed by a qualified technician. Damage to the unit could occur. STEP 1 These instructions are used to adjust ranges and range tops for operation at high altitudes, if necessary. Important Information for the Installer: It is important that the following be completed BEFORE making adjustments to the appliance.
Page 37
Adjust the burner’s control valve to MIN to see that the flame continues to wrap around the burner. Blow out the flame, or use a quick fan motion from a writing tablet or piece of cardboard to extinguish the flame. Observe the burner’s ability to reig nite and wrap around (also called “carry-over”) the burner within several seconds.
Installer Checklist Specified clearances maintained to cabinet surfaces. Unit Level – front to back – side to side. Burner caps positioned properly on burner bases. All packaging material removed. A Flush Island Trim attached according to instructions. Verify flame at each burner. Flame may need to burn for several minutes to remove impurities from the gas lines. Verify that the Min feature works and relights around the entire burner.
