Can you use the stove while the oven is being used

No. This unit operates on 120v and 120v residential circuits are either 15 amp (limited to 1800 max watts per circuit) or 20 amp (limited to 2400 watts per circuit). Also, under continuous loads of 3 or more hours these limits are reduced by 20%, meaning 1440 watts on a 15 amp circuit and 1920 watts on a 20 amp circuit. The small burner on this oven is 500 watts, the large burner 1000 watts, the oven 1500 watts. Since Avanti cannot know for sure whether a customer has a 15 or 20 amp circuit the product must be manufactured to be able to work safely on the lower of the two and that means not exceeding 1800 watts, which is precisely what it would do if the oven and either burner were used at the same time. Safety is also the reason for the auto timer that shuts off the oven after 60 minutes and for not being able to use both burners at the same time; if forgotten and left on continuously the unit would overload a 15 amp circuit and trip the breaker, hopefully before starting a fire due to overheated wiring.

The oven may be used on a single burner propane stove but may not be very stable but no to electric stove

yes, you can simmer things without burning them. Turn the knob towards the top of the stove that is how you get your lower heats, turn the knob towards the oven and the burner it hotter.,

I'm not sure. My situation changed and the oven is not being used. However the controls are on top so there would have to be visibility and access there.

I don't know, but it is hard plastic and stoves are insulated. For that reason, I would think not. May depend on your oven. Sometime when your oven is turned on to a normal temp, put your hand on the side and determine how hot. My stove is a slide in placed in the island cabinet and when the oven is on, the adjacent cabinet is not hot. I have my slide-out between my clothes dryer and hot water heater. Works great.

The stove is the most productive when the pot or pan is sitting right on the cast iron top. As the pot gets further away from the stove top, more and more heat is lost in the exchange. You may be able to use a dutch oven on the top of the stove, provided it would fit on the 9.5" top, but it's probably not the best use of the stove nor the dutch oven.Thanks for your interest!

You absolutely can. We have a gas stove and it works perfectly. Gas or electric,doesn't matter.

In theory it can be used by setting the oven on the top rack and then using a bit of foil to direct the heat to the oven.So, put the top grilling rack on the stove, place legs through the rack, and then put a bit of foil to help direct the heat to the oven.

Not sure that you can since roasting is a dry heat method where the heat in the oven surrounds the food. With the exception of the sauté function, cooking in this is about moisture with little evaporation. If you turned the unit on sauté and tried to roast something, it would be like tring to roast something on a pot on the stovetop -- that method isn't roasting.

Yes, you can use the 3-piece set of oven ware in a conventional oven as well as your toaster oven, just make sure you take the regular precautions as you would with any other piece of oven ware.

I think you should be able to. I did mine on the stove and it worked great.

We have used it both on the stove top and in the oven. I actually use in on the stove top more often. We have an electric stove. If using gas you need to be sure the wire doesn't get in the flames of course.

The stove will get very hot when using it so I wouldn't recommend using it for this purpose.

No, it is not necessary to run the oven prior to using it the first time. To get the most from your oven I would, however, strongly suggest that you get the instruction book from the supplier. It contains info on how to place the rack and pan for various functions. I still refer to the quick start guide when changing functions. The manual may be available to print online. It also contains some recipes.

Absolutely. We have used several of our cast iron frying pans AND our cast iron dutch ovens.....no problem at all. The stove is super strong and durable.
