Overview
Not a gas range or an induction top, the Forno Paolo is a freestanding electric range with a smooth ceramic glass cooktop over radiant elements and a true convection oven below. A hidden bake element lies under the oven floor, and a storage drawer runs along the base.
True convection with a dedicated fan element, plus a bake element hidden under the oven floor, gives this range even baking and spills that cannot scorch onto an exposed coil. A warming zone on the glass top holds finished dishes while the rest cook. The listing mixes black and stainless wording for the finish, so confirm the color before ordering.
Who it's for
Kitchens wired for an electric range that want convection baking and a glass top that wipes clean get the most from this Forno. Cooks who prefer a gas flame or the speed of induction should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- True convection with a dedicated fan element
- Hidden bake element under the oven floor
- Warming zone on the glass cooktop
- Dual-element broiler with a lower setting
- Needs a dedicated high-voltage circuit
- Power cord not listed in the box
- Listing mixes black and stainless finish wording
- Heavy, needs help moving into place
Performance notes
Even baking comes from the convection fan pushing heat from its own element around the cavity, while the hidden lower element heats through the oven floor. The convection High Bake function is listed to shorten preheating. On the cooktop, radiant elements heat the glass, so response depends on cookware making flat contact with the surface.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Forno Paolo a gas or induction range?
Neither. It is an electric range with five radiant elements under a ceramic glass cooktop, and it runs on 240 volts.
How does the hidden bake element on the Forno Paolo help with cleaning?
The bake element is beneath the oven floor, so spills land on the enamel instead of burning onto an exposed element. Forno says this reduces odors and makes cleaning easier.
Is the Forno Paolo range black or stainless steel?
The title and trim color say black with antique brass knobs and handle, while the description and finish fields also mention stainless steel. Confirm the finish with the seller before ordering.
Can the Forno Paolo broiler handle delicate food?
Yes. The dual-element broiler has 3,000 watts of total power plus a lower wattage setting that the listing suggests for fish and chicken.
