1. Ooni is designed for outdoor use only. Ooni must always be placed outdoors, away from structures and never inside a

building or a garage or in proximity to any enclosed area. The clearances around the oven to any combustible surfaces
should be at least 1m from the sides and rear, and 3m from the front and above the oven. Place your Ooni on a sturdy, level,
stable and non-flammable surface and keep it clear and free from flammable or combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

2. Be aware of any local laws or regulations that may specify a required distance between outdoor cookers and any structures,

or that may limit outdoor flame of any type during drought or hazardous periods.

3. Do not install or use your Ooni in or on boats or recreational vehicles.

4. Do not use your Ooni in high or gusty winds.

5. Your Ooni is not intended to, and should never be used as a heater.

6. Toxic fumes can accumulate and may cause asphyxiation.

7. Your Ooni Karu 16 is a live fire device. Live fire will naturally go towards any air source, therefore, at times you will see fire

coming out of the oven:

a. at the back where the fire is;

b. from the top of the hatch when the lid is opened;

c. from the front of the oven when you open the door; or

d. from the top of the chimney.

We recommend you wear gloves when operating your Ooni Karu 16, to avoid any risk of burning.

8. Please keep away from the Ooni’s openings and warn others around you.

9. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance of your Ooni may cause injury or property damage.

Therefore, do not use your Ooni unless it is completely assembled and all parts are securely fastened and tightened.

10. Your Ooni should be inspected on a regular basis.

11. When using the charcoal/wood burner: Add the kindling gradually to reach an optimum temperature. Adding too much

kindling will enlarge the fire,risking damage to you or your Ooni.

12. When using the gas burner: If the flame goes out, turn off the gas supply, remove door and hatch and wait 5 minutes before

relighting.

13. When using your Ooni, there is a risk for your hands to suffer burns. Protective heat-resistant gloves should be worn at all

times to avoid burns and you should never set hot items on or near combustible surfaces. DO NOT touch any metal parts
when your Ooni is operating. Only touch the plastic handles to open the door and lift the fuel hatch.

14. Never leave your Ooni unattended. Do not leave your Ooni unattended with the lid open while lit. Be aware of hazards (dry

leaves, decking and other combustible materials) that may be in proximity to the Ooni while it is in use as they may present a
fire hazard if any sparks are allowed to come into contact.

15. Keep all electrical cords away from your Ooni.

16. Ooni is to be used by responsible adults only.

17. Keep children, pets, and combustible items away from your Ooni at all times.

18. Do not attempt to remove any parts or move your Ooni when it is hot or while cooking.

19. DO NOT leave any hazardous objects such as lighters or barbecue lighting fluid next to your Ooni. Indeed, Ooni radiates

heat to all directions.

20. Ooni remains hot even after visible flames have died down. Allow a minimum of 2 hours for it to cool down once you are

done using your Ooni. DO NOT cover the Ooni immediately after it has been used and make sure all the fire and glowing
embers have disappeared from the burner before storing it.

21. The approximate temperature of your Ooni (when being used) ranges from 250°F (120°C) to 1000°F (550°C).

22. Ooni is safe and hazard-free when used as intended and according to safety guidelines, and will provide years of trouble-

free use and enjoyment. It is the users’ responsibility to maintain safe operation of the Ooni and to exercise reasonable
standards of care at all times.
