Bedroom Door Latch; Roman Shades; Dinette Table; A/C & Furnace Thermostat - Thor Motor Coach 2011 Avanti Owner's Manual

Your bedroom door slides conveniently out of the way beside the wall. Thor Motor Coach
provides a stainless steel pin located at the top of the door, to secure the door while the
motorhome is in motion. Pull out this pin to allow the bedroom door to close.
For your comfort we have 13,500 BTU Carrier air conditioner with heat pumps. There is
a remote control for the air conditioners for your convenience. This remote also controls
the furnace. Simply point to the A/C, press heat on the remote and set your degree of
comfort level.
You have two options when running the water heater; you can run the water heater on
propane or electric. Choose the best option to suit your needs. The hot water heater start
switch is located on the wall in the monitor panel area. The light illuminates when the
switch is turned on. The light goes off when the burner is on and the water is heating. If
the light comes back on, the burner is not yet lit. It may take several tries to light the water
heater burner. When the element is turned on the red light will glow. Be sure the tank is
full of water before using.
For your convenience, there is plenty of storage above and around the range area for
canned goods, kitchen utensils, etc. Please ensure that the doors are closed and latched
before traveling to prevent the contents from falling out.
Drawers are designed to ensure that they do not open inadvertently during travel. To
open the drawers, pull out until catch releases. Until you get used to the operation of the
drawers, you may think that they are stuck.
The range cover provides extra counter space and covers the burners when not in use.
When opened, it acts as a grease and splash guard. To raise the range cover, lift and push
back until it snaps into place. To return the cover to its counter flush position, lift straight
up to disengage the holding mechanism, and return it to the original position. The range
has a piezo lighter. To operate, turn the burner valve on, then turn the piezo lighter. At
that point, the pilot light will remain on for the oven until it is manually turned off. The
oven is not self cleaning, and will need routine cleansing. Please do not store anything in
your oven, and do not cook while the vehicle is in motion. For further instructions, please
refer to the Range Instruction Manual in your Owner's Information Kit.
The refrigerator in your motorhome runs on either propane gas or electric power. The
controls are at the top of the unit. If you use the auto mode on your refrigerator, the
refrigerator will operate on 120 Volt power when available, and automatically switch to
propane when shoreline is removed. You can control how cold you want your refrigerator
to be with the thermostat control. Your refrigerator is equipped for large capacities with
plenty of storage shelves and a crisper. The refrigerator requires normal cleaning and
care. Please refer to the Refrigerator Owner's Manual in your Owner's Information Kit for
more information.
The microwave operates on 120 Volt power provided by the generator or shoreline. It will
de-program when the power is discontinued and must be reprogrammed when power
is restored. For usage instructions, please refer to the Microwave Owner's Manual in your
Owner's Information Kit.
The kitchen sink is much like the one in your home. It comes equipped with a sink
cover board which, when in place, increases counter space. Only waste water should be
disposed of down the drain. Never put grease, food, or other obstructions down the drain
because you may plug the holding tank.
