?Using Your Oven

Be sure that the function selector knob is turned and turn the temperature & timer control knobs to “0” position before plugging the cord into the outlet for use and when unplugging the appliance after use.

Preheating The Oven

Turn the function selector control knob to the desired function either BAKE or BROIL. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature.

Turn the timer selector knob to the “20 minutes marking” for the oven to preheat.

When defrosting do not preheat oven. Turn Temperature Control to 250ºF. Allow 15-20 minutes per side for meats or fish to defrost. Always cook food promptly after thawing.

To Use The BAKE Function

Turn the function selector knob to the BAKE position, then turn the temperature control knob to the desired oven temperature.

Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time (max 60 minutes). At the end of the cooking time a bell

signal sounds and the oven will turn

automatically.

 

Only the bottom heater elements will cycle

and

to maintain the selected temperature.

Arrange food on the wire rack or in the Bake/Broil/Drip pan.

When BAKING is completed, open door fully and remove food carefully, using the metal handling tool provided.

To Use The BROIL Function

Arrange food on broiler pan. Place broiler pan on oven rack. Close the door to the first notch, leaving approximately a 3 inch gap at the top. This will ensure adequate airflow during broiling.

Turn the function selector to the BROIL setting, then turn the temperature control knob to the desired oven temperature.

Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time (max 60 minutes). At the end of the cooking time a bell

signal sounds and the oven will turn automatically.

Only the top heater elements will operate with full power. For best results the oven should be preheated 20 minutes before adding the food to be broiled.

Turn food over about halfway through the broiling time.

When BROILING is completed, open door fully and remove food carefully, using the metal handling tool provided.

T-18 specifications

The Avanti T-18, introduced in the mid-1960s, represents a significant milestone in the evolution of light sport aircraft. This remarkable aircraft was designed by the renowned aviation engineer and entrepreneur, Charles "Chuck" Kearns, who sought to provide an affordable yet high-performance option for general aviation enthusiasts. The T-18 is widely recognized for its exceptional aerodynamic design, built to maximize efficiency, speed, and handling.

One of the standout features of the Avanti T-18 is its sleek, all-metal construction, which includes a monocoque fuselage and a cantilever wing design. This design choice not only contributes to the overall robustness of the aircraft but also enhances aerodynamic performance. With a wingspan of 30 feet, the T-18 boasts a low drag profile that allows for impressive cruise speeds, typically ranging between 160 to 180 knots, depending on the specific variant and configuration.

Beneath the striking exterior lies a powerful engine that enables the T-18 to reach its speed potential. Most models are equipped with a four-cylinder Lycoming engine, delivering a power output of approximately 160 to 180 horsepower. This engine produces an excellent thrust-to-weight ratio, allowing for quick takeoffs and efficient climbs. Furthermore, the aircraft's lightweight structure contributes to its outstanding fuel efficiency, making it an economical choice for both recreational and cross-country flying.

Control and handling were vital considerations in the T-18's design, making it an excellent choice for pilots of varying experience levels. The aircraft features a conventional tail configuration that provides excellent stability and responsiveness. Its control surfaces are designed to give pilots a crisp, direct feel during all phases of flight, enhancing overall pilot confidence.

The cockpit of the Avanti T-18 is designed with pilot ergonomics in mind, providing a spacious environment equipped with essential controls and instrumentation. Many owners customize their cockpits with modern avionics packages, enhancing situational awareness and navigation capabilities.

In conclusion, the Avanti T-18 epitomizes the spirit of light sport aviation, combining cutting-edge aerodynamics, a robust engine, and user-friendly controls, making it a fantastic choice for pilots seeking performance and value. Its place in aviation history is secure as one of the iconic light aircraft that continues to capture the imagination of flying enthusiasts worldwide, proving that passion for flight endures through innovative design.
