Frequently Asked Questions - G2003CSS Avanti

How do I install the Avanti G2003CSS gas cooker?

Installation must be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure a gas supply line and a standard 120V outlet for the ignition are nearby. The unit requires proper ventilation. Consult the manual for clearance requirements and anti-tip bracket installation.

Can I convert this cooker from natural gas to LP (propane)?

Yes, the G2003CSS can be converted using an LP conversion kit (sold separately). The kit includes orifices and instructions. Conversion should be done by a licensed technician to ensure proper gas flow and safe operation.

Why won't the burners ignite?

Check that the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the burner caps are properly seated and the igniter electrodes are clean. If the igniter clicks but no flame, the gas supply valve may be off or there is air in the line. Purge air by turning a burner on briefly.

How do I clean the oven?

The oven is not self-cleaning. For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn spills, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals. The oven door can be removed for thorough cleaning. Always ensure the oven is cool before cleaning.

How do I adjust the oven temperature?

The oven temperature can be calibrated up to 35°F hotter or cooler. Access the calibration adjustment behind the oven thermostat knob. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease temperature or counterclockwise to increase. Use an oven thermometer to verify accuracy.

What size cookware is recommended?

Use flat-bottomed cookware that matches burner size. For best performance, pan diameter should not exceed the grate size by more than 1 inch. Avoid thin-bottomed pans that may cause excessive heat distribution issues.

The oven doesn't stay lit. What could be wrong?

This is often due to a faulty thermocouple (flame sensor) which shuts off gas if no flame is detected. Clean the thermocouple tip with fine sandpaper. If problem persists, it may need replacement. Also check the oven gas valve and ignitor.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Ensure the oven is cool and disconnected from power. Remove the lens cover (usually snapped or screwed). Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb (halogen or incandescent). Do not use a standard bulb. Reattach the cover and restore power.

Is a child lock available?

This model does not have a specific child lock feature. For safety, consider using knob covers to prevent accidental activation. Always supervise children near the appliance.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as burner grates, oven racks, igniters, and thermocouples can be ordered through Avanti's customer service or authorized dealers. Have your model number (G2003CSS) ready. Some parts are also available online through appliance parts retailers.

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 through the normal air exchange.

HOW TO USE THE TOP BURNERS

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:

The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows 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 maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture 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.

In order to light the burner, you must:

1 - Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise 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 lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the flame.

In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner in HI position, try again with the knob in LO position.

2 - Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

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 (Fig.6)

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE TOP BURNERS
BURNER	MINIMUM	MAXIMUM
Auxiliary	4" 23/32 (12 cm)	5" 1/2 (14 cm)
Semirapid	6" 19/64 (16 cm)	9" 7/16 (24 cm)
Rapid	9" 7/16 (24 cm)	10" 15/64 (26 cm)
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases

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.

Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking vessels.

Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or with a chamois leather.

For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

Note: regular use could cause discoloring around the burners, because of the high flame temperature.

INSIDE OF OVEN

This must be cleaned regularly. With the oven warm, wipe the inside walls with a cloth soaked in very hot soapy water or another suitable product.

GAS VALVES

In the event of operating faults in the gas valves, call the Service Department.

NOTE: Oven bulb replacement is not covered by your guarantee.

Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous.

BURNERS AND GRIDS

√ These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.
√ After cleaning, the burners and their flame distributors must be well dried and correctly replaced.
√ It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor and the cap has been correctly positioned - failure to do so can cause serious problems.
√ In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so that the sparks always strike.
√ Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are not in place.

CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNERS

It is very important to check that the burner flame spreader "F" and the cap "C" have been correctly positioned (see figs. 20 and 21). Failure to do so can cause serious problems.
