Before the first use of your AVANTI G2002CW, please follow these steps:

1. Remove all exterior and interior packing materials, including any protective film on steel and aluminum parts.

2. Ensure you have all the necessary parts, such as the backsplash, leveling legs, cooking grids, oven racks, burner caps and bases, knobs, and broiler tray.

3. It is mandatory to install the backsplash as it also serves as the oven vent. Screw the two screws “A” on each side of the backsplash and the central screw in the middle portion.

4. Clean the interior of the oven with a clean cloth soaked in lukewarm water and a neutral detergent, then dry it carefully.

5. Place the shelves and tray inside the oven.

6. To eliminate any possible traces of grease from the oven burner, turn the oven on to the maximum temperature (550°F). Follow the same procedure for the broiler burner by turning the knob to the BROIL position.

To light the gas burners on your AVANTI G2002CW:

1. Turn the desired burner knob counter-clockwise to the maximum rate position (indicated by a star symbol). Push the knob in and hold it until the flame has been lit. The built-in electric lighter will produce sparks to ignite the gas.

2. Adjust the gas valve to your desired flame height. The maximum position is for rapid boiling, while the “LO” (minimum) position is for simmering or keeping food warm.

3. To reduce the gas flow to the minimum, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise to the “LO” position.

CAUTION: If a burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it. The range becomes very hot during operation; keep children well out of reach.

When the range is not in use, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions.

For the best efficiency, match the pan diameter to the burner size on your AVANTI G2002CW. Do not use pans with concave or convex bases. Here are the recommended pan diameters:

Also, make sure the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range to avoid accidents and make them harder for children to reach.

WARNING: Risk of explosion! The oven door must be open during the ignition operation.

To light the oven burner on your AVANTI G2002CW:

1. Open the oven door to its full extent.

2. Lightly press and turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise to the maximum position (550°F) or your desired temperature.

3. Press the knob completely down to prime the electric ignition. You will hear a “Bi, Bi” sound. Keep the knob pressed until the oven burner is lit.

4. If using for the first time or after a long period of non-use, wait about 10-15 seconds after the burner lights before releasing the knob. This allows the safety valve to prime.

5. Close the oven door slowly and adjust the burner as required.

Important: Never continue the ignition operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite, wait for about 1 minute before repeating the ignition. If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will automatically shut off the gas supply. To re-light, turn the knob to OFF, wait at least 1 minute, and repeat the lighting procedure.

For oven cooking, preheat the oven to the desired temperature before introducing food. It is advisable to remove the tray during preheating and introduce it with the food once the oven is ready.

Very important: The broil burner must always be used with the oven door closed.

To light the broil burner on your AVANTI G2002CW:

1. Open the oven door to its full extent. WARNING: Risk of explosion! The oven door must be open during this ignition operation.

2. Lightly press and turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the BROIL position.

3. Press the knob completely down to prime the electric ignition. You will hear a “Bi, Bi” sound. Keep the knob pressed until the broil burner is lit.

4. Wait about 15 seconds after the burner lights before releasing the knob to allow the safety valve to prime.

5. Close the oven door slowly.

For broiling:

1. Position the shelf on the second level from the top (the broiling level).

2. Turn on the broil burner as described above and let it preheat for about 5 minutes with the door closed.

3. Place the food to be cooked on the broiling pan.

4. Introduce the broiling pan into the oven. It should be placed on top of the shelf and centered under the broil burner.

Attention: Always use the broiling pan. Never obstruct the oven vent slots on the backsplash. The oven and door become very hot during operation; use protective gloves and keep children away.

The numbers printed on the control panel of your AVANTI G2002CW correspond to the following oven temperatures:

Before any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply. It is best to clean when the appliance is cold.

Enameled Parts: Clean with a sponge and soapy water or other non-abrasive products. Dry with a chamois leather. Avoid leaving acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar on the surfaces for long periods.

Stainless Steel Elements: Rinse with water and dry with a soft, clean cloth or a chamois leather. For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product or a little hot vinegar.

Inside of Oven: Clean regularly. With the oven warm, wipe the inside walls with a cloth soaked in very hot soapy water or another suitable product.

Burners and Grids: These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products. After cleaning, ensure the burners and their flame distributors are well dried and correctly replaced. It is very important that the burner flame spreader “F” and the cap “C” are positioned correctly to avoid serious problems. Keep the igniter electrode clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.

Oven Shelves: The oven shelves have a security block to prevent accidental extraction. To remove, pull them out and lift. Insert them in the reverse order.

To replace the oven light bulb on your AVANTI G2002CW, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the range from the power supply.

2. Let the oven cavity and broil burner cool down completely.

3. Remove the protective cover over the bulb.

4. Unscrew and replace the bulb with a new one suitable for high temperatures (200°F – 550°C). The specifications are: 120V 60Hz, 15W, E14.

5. Replace the protective cover.

To remove the oven door for easier cleaning, follow these instructions carefully:

1. Open the door to the full extent.

2. Attach the retaining rings to the hooks on the left and right hinges.

3. Hold the door firmly.

4. Gently close the door and withdraw the lower hinge pins from their location.

5. Withdraw the upper hinge pins from their location.

6. Rest the door on a soft surface.

To replace the door, repeat the above steps in reverse order.

The internal glass of the oven door can also be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the two lateral fixing screws.

The removable storage drawer comes out like a normal drawer. For cleaning, you can remove the drawer by pulling it out until the stop point and then lifting it up. Never store any flammable material in the drawer.

If you smell gas, follow these safety instructions immediately:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

To ensure the anti-tip device is properly installed and engaged to prevent the range from tipping over:

1. Slide the range forward.

2. Look for the anti-tip device to ensure it is securely attached to the floor.

3. Slide the range back into place so that the rear foot is under the anti-tip device.

Please follow these important safety rules when using your AVANTI G2002CW:

• This appliance shall not be used for space heating.

• Keep the 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 before servicing.

• Do not misuse the oven door (e.g., stepping, sitting, or leaning on it) as it can result in hazards or injuries.

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

• During and after use, certain parts will become very hot. Do not touch hot parts and keep children away.

• Fire risk! Do not store flammable material in the oven or in the bottom drawer.

• Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns.

• Never clean the oven with a high-pressure steam cleaning device.

If the surface burners on your AVANTI G2002CW do not light, check the following:

• Control Knob: Push in and turn the control to the ON position until the burner ignites, then turn to the desired setting.

• Clogged Burner Ports: Use a small gauge wire or needle to open clogged ports.

• Burner Position: Verify that the burners are positioned properly on the orifice hoods and are sitting flat on the burner support with tabs engaged in slots.

• Power: If your model has electric ignition, check for a power failure. Light the pilots manually if needed. Ensure the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet.

If the flame on your AVANTI G2002CW is not burning correctly, here are some possible causes and solutions:

• Flame burns halfway round: This could be due to clogged burner ports or moisture after cleaning. Use a small gauge wire to open ports. Lightly fan the flame and let the burner operate until the flame is full, or dry the burners thoroughly.

• Flame is orange: This may be caused by dust particles in the main gas line. Allow the burner to operate for a few minutes until the flame turns blue.

If the oven or broiler on your AVANTI G2002CW fails to heat, try these troubleshooting steps:

• Temperature Control: Make sure the temperature control is set to the desired temperature.

• Power Failure: In case of a power outage, light the pilots manually.

• Circuit Breaker/Fuse: Check if a house fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. Check/reset the breaker or replace the fuse. If it’s a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Power Cord: Be sure the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet.

If you believe the oven temperature of your AVANTI G2002CW is inaccurate, check the following:

• Capillary Bulb: Verify that the oven’s capillary bulb (the temperature sensor) is snapped into its clips, is straight, and is not touching the oven sides or coated with cleaner or food.

• Temperature Control Knob: Make sure the temperature control knob is set at the desired temperature.

• Improper Foil Use: Keep foil clear of holes in the oven bottom and off of the oven sides, as this can interfere with heat circulation.

If your AVANTI G2002CW is not level, it could be due to several factors:

• Poor Installation: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and place a level on the rack. Adjust the four leveling legs at the bottom of the range until it is level.

• Weak or Unstable Floor: Be sure the floor is level and can adequately support the range. A carpenter may be needed to correct a sagging or sloping floor.

• Cabinet Misalignment: Ensure the kitchen cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance. A cabinet maker may be needed to correct the problem.

If your oven is smoking excessively, consider these causes:

• Meat too close to broiler: Reposition the broiler pan to provide more clearance between the meat and the broiler burner.

• Meat not prepared properly: Remove excess fat from the meat before cooking.
