TIPS FOR CLEANING
YOUR HASTY-BAKE
Empty ashes frequently (if not before
every use) to avoid having them spill
over the sides of the ash pan. Also, be
sure to remove any ashes that may fall
below the ash pan into the storage
area. Ashes draw moisture, creating a
chemical reaction, which promotes
rust.
Scrape the grease drain rod (after
every cooking usage) to keep the
grease drain system functioning
efficiently and to control and virtually
eliminate flare-ups.
Scrape off excessive grease build up
on the interior of the oven
(periodically) with a putty knife to
avoid obstruction of moving parts.
Excessive grease build up can hinder
many of the movable parts (ash pan,
fire box, heat deflector) which can lead
to grease fires.
Clean the outside of your Hasty-
Bake. Use a 3M Scotch-Brite pad and
degreaser such as a Simple Green to
clean the outer surface of the powder-
coated finished parts. For stainless steel
parts, use sudsy ammonia. We also
carry a stainless steel cleaning product
which helps keep stainless steel
products looking shiny and new.
Clean the window on Gourmet and
Continental models by applying sudsy
ammonia or another degreasing
cleaner. Allow the window to soak for
a minute or two and scrape off any
build-up with a razorblade tool.

Caring for your Hasty-Bake
Constructed by hand, each Hasty-Bake unit contains only the highest-
quality materials to provide unequaled performance, convenience and
durability. With proper care and basic maintenance, you can expect our
black powder finish, cold-rolled steel ovens to last for 15 to 25 years (or
longer). Our solid stainless steel models can be expected to last virtually
forever!
LINE YOUR ASH PAN WITH ALUMINUM FOIL.
This makes clean-up easy and provides a barrier between the caustic ashes
and your ash pan, increasing the life of your ash pan.
AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT.
Be aware that operating your Hasty-Bake at extremely high temperatures
can damage the paint and other components of your grill and may void
the warranty.
DON’T FORCE THE CRANK HANDLE IF IT IS TOO
TIGHT.
Keep the crank handle lubricated for smooth operation. If the handle
won’t turn, check for obstructions. If there are no visible problems and the
threads are lubricated, then call us. Always remember to store the heat
deflector if you are using the “sear” position, the heat deflector will bend
the grease drain rod.
LOWER YOUR FIRE BOX AFTER EACH USE.
The heat build-up from cooking on your Hasty-Bake can cause the lift
mechanism to warp if left to cool in a raised position.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT.
Excess moisture can shorten the life expectancy of your Hasty-Bake. So,
try to remember to keep your oven out of the elements by either storing it
in a covered area or by using one of our grill covers (a black cover silk-
screened with the Hasty-Bake logo, made of Sunbrella
™
material). NOTE:
Never cover your Hasty-Bake while the oven is still hot and do not use a
plastic cover.
