FAST EDDY’S BARBEQUE OVEN MODEL FEC100 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Keep the oven free from combustible materials. A good rule of thumb is to allow 24 inch clearance space around the access panel and flue opening. Never store or use gasoline or other flammable material in the vicinity of this oven. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this oven. Keep all such liquids well away from the oven while in use.
Minimum spacing from combustible material is 6”; these clearances must be maintained unless materials used are non-combustible. Following is the recommended service spacing: Top – 18” Left Side – 24” to load pellets and access to service panel. Right Side – 24” Front – 48” for loading and unloading of product. Back –6” Floor – Must be a non-combustible material and must extend 6” beyond each side of the unit. Install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
