Hasty-Bake ovens are designed for outdoor
use. If used in an enclosed area, proper
ventilation must be provided. Otherwise, toxic
fumes will accumulate and cause serious bodily
injury or death.
Do not add charcoal starter fluid or charcoal
impregnated with charcoal lighter fluid to hot
or warm coals. Cap starter fluid after using and
place a safe distance away from the oven.
Do not use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly
volatile fluids to ignite charcoal.
Do not leave infants, children, or pets
unattended near a hot oven.
Do not attempt to move a hot oven.
Do not use your Hasty-Bake oven within five
feet of any combustible material.
Do not remove ashes until all coals are
completely burned out and are fully
extinguished.
Do not wear clothing with loose flowing
sleeves while lighting or using the oven.
Do not use your Hasty-Bake oven in high
winds.

Do not store combustible materials (charcoal,
Firelighters, etc.) in the storage area under the
ash pan while using the oven.
Keep the oven in a level position at all times.
Open the lid of the oven while lighting and
getting the coals started.
Never touch the cooking or charcoal grates, or
the oven, to see if they are hot.
Barbecue mitts or hot pads should always be
used to protect hands while barbecuing,
opening the fire door, or adjusting the dual
draft vents.
Use proper barbecue tools with long, heat-
resistant handles.
To extinguish coals, close the hood, fire door,
and dual draft vents. Do not use water.
To control flare ups, close the hood and, if
necessary, the fire door and dual draft vents.
Do not use water.
Handle and store hot electric starters carefully.
Keep electrical cords away from the hot
surfaces of the oven.
Using sharp objects to clean the cooking grill
or remove ashes will damage the finish.
Using abrasive cleaners on the cooking grill or
the oven itself will damage the finish.
