IMPORTANT SAFEGUIDES

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Before the appliance is used, it must be properl y position ed and inst alled as

described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precaution, including the following:

•

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be provided. Use

receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• This appliance shall not be used for space heating. The surface unit should not be operated without cookware. This information is based on safety considerations.

• All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.

• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors.

• Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air.

• Disconnect the electrical supply to the appliance before servicing.

• When removing appliance for cleaning and/or service:

• Disconnect AC power supply.

• Carefully remove the range by pulling outward.

CAUTION: Range is heavy. Use care in handling.

• The misuse of oven door (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and /or injuries.

• When installing or removing the range for service, a rolling life jack should be used. Do not push against any of the edges of the range in an attempt to slide it into or out of the installation. Pushing or pulling a range (rather than using a lift jack) also increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal coupling connectors.

• It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

• Electrical Grounding Instructions - The appliance must be installed and grounded by a qualified

technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (Latest Edition) and local electrical code requirements.

• Replacement Parts – Only authorized replacement parts may be used in performing service on

the range. Replacement parts are available from factory authorized parts distributors. Contact the nearest Avanti service center in your area.

WARNING!!

 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded socket. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.

• The gas range must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power plug. Electrical installation should comply with national and local codes.

 REPLACEMENT PARTS

Only authorized replacement parts may be used in performing service on the range. Replacement parts are available from factory authorized parts distributors. Contact the nearest AVANTI parts distributor in your area.

CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING:

Carbon Monoxide is a possible danger when using any gas powered appliance.

All gas appliances MUST be installed by a licensed professional who is familiar with the Carbon Monoxide levels appropriate for each appliance.

The American Gas Association publishes CO emissions for appliances and heating equipment through the ANSI Std. Z21.1

The EPA reports that a maximum CO (Carbon Monoxide) level of 9 PPM over a 24 hour period is the residential interior ambient level standard.

( A properly ventilated home will have a normal CO level of less than 5 PPM.)

NON-VENTED GAS COOKING APPLIANCES: In a residential application are normally used for a short period of time. The CO generated during the operation will disperse to the air in the home and be purged to the outside throug h t he nor mal air exchange.

 GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs which control the valves. Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel achieves the following functions:

When knob is rotated to the maximum position it will permit the rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum position allows the simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.

To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise to point the Lo position.

Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the HI and Lo positions, and never between the HI and OFF positions.

When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

 LIGHTING GAS BURNERS

In order to light the burner, you must:

1 – Push and turn the kno b in a counterclockwise direction up to the HI position (maximum rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit. The sparks produced by the internal igniter will li ght the designated burner .

In the event that t he local gas supply conditions make it difficult to light the burner i n the HI position, tr y again with the knob in Lo position. 2 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired posi tion.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the OFF position and repeat the operations for lighting.

Caution! The range becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

 CHOICE OF BURNER

The symbols printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the correspondence between the

knob and the burner. The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capacity of the container to be warmed. It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating potential of the burners in order not to jeopardize the efficiency of the burners, bringing about a waste of gas fuel. A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that boiling conditions are reached quicker.

The surface burners used on this unit range from 3,200 BTU to 10,000 BTU on natural gas installation under 2,000 feet above sea level. Burner strength is de-

HO W TO USE THE GAS OVEN

 GENERAL FEATURES

The gas oven is provided with two burners: Oven burner, mounted on the lower part of the oven: Broil burner, mounted on the upper part of the oven:

 USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

It is advised to follow these instructions – Insert shelves and tray

– Turn the oven on to the maximum temperature (position 500) to eliminate possible traces of

grease from the oven burner. The same operation should be followed for the broiler burner(knob on position BROIL)

– Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior of the oven with

cloth soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.

It carries out normal “oven cooking”. The gas flow to the burner is regulated by a thermostat which allows to maintain the desired oven temperature. The control of the temperature is assured by a thermostatic probe positioned inside the oven. The probe must be always kept in its housing, in a clean condition, as an incorrect position or encrustment may cause an alteration in the control of the temperature.
