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).
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
