4 Use of your barbecue

4.1 General information

Even though all gas connections on the barbecue are tested for leakages before transport, a
complete test must be carried out at the assembly site. During transport or assembly, parts of the
barbecue may have been moved. It is also possible that the gas pressure on the equipment is too
high. Regularly inspect the entire system for leaks and check the system immediately in the event
that you smell gas.

4.2 Gas leak test

Always carry out a gas leak test before use of the barbecue and when the barbecue has not been
used for some time.

• Extinguish any open fires (DO NOT SMOKE when testing for leaks).

• Never carry out this gas leak test near open flames.

• Make a soapy solution made up from equal parts of water and liquid soap or gentle washing-

up liquid

• Follow the steps below:

1. Turn the control knobs of the burners to off.

2. Remove the battery from the electronic ignition.

3. Open the gas bottle.

4. Apply the soapy solution to all connections of the gas supply. If no soap bubbles are
formed, there is no gas leak. If soap bubbles start to form on a connection, this indicates
a leak. In the event that you detect a leak, turn the gas supply off immediately, tighten
the leaking connections firmly, open the gas bottle again and repeat steps 1 through to 4.

5. Turn the gas supply off.

6. Turn the control knobs of the burners on for 10 seconds to let the pressure escape from
the hose and then turn the control knobs to off again.

7. Remove the soapy solution from the connections of the equipment with cold water and
rub dry with a cloth. Check all gas supply connections before every use and do the same
when the gas bottle is being connected to the gas pressure regulator.

It is recommended that you check the gas hose for leaks every year, even if the gas bottle has never been disconnected from the equipment.

• Note: Ensure that you test all loose connections (including the side burner) and, if required,
tighten them again when you are testing the equipment for leaks. Even a small leak in the
system can result in a dangerous situation.

• Note: These days, most gas bottles are fitted with a mechanism that detects leaks inside the
container. When the gas is being released too quickly, this mechanism cuts off the gas
supply. A leak can severely restrict the gas supply which will make it difficult to light the
barbecue.

• Note: If you are unable to close off a gas leak, then turn off the gas supply and contact your
sales outlet. Even a small leak can cause a fire.

• Note: If, after several attempts, you are unable to light the barbecue, then contact your sales
outlet.

• Note: Ensure that the control knobs are in the “OFF” position when you are not using the
equipment.

4.3 Lighting the barbecue

• Check the general conditions of the burners (see 0). If you are in doubt about the condition
of the burners, then contact your sales outlet.

• Ensure that the barbecue is placed on a level surface.

• Keep the cooking area clean and free from petrol and/or other flammable and/or

inflammable substances, flammable gasses or flammable fumes.

• Ensure that nothing is blocking the burners and ventilation.

• Do not use aluminium foil in the enamel burner tray or around the flame distributors.

• Ensure there is sufficient ventilation for the gas bottle.

WARNING:

• Do not light the barbecue if you can smell gas!

• Check the gas hose for cracks or wear and tear (see: GAS LEAK TEST).

• Keep your face and body as far away from the barbecue as possible when lighting it.

4.4 Lighting the burners with an electronic igniter

• Ensure that all knobs are in the “OFF” position.

• Always open the lid before you light the barbecue.

• Open the gas supply.

o NOTE: when opening the gas bottle, turn the valve SLOWLY two (2) whole turns to

get the right gas supply.

• Press and turn one of the control knobs to the “HIGH” setting. You will hear a crackling noise.

It may be necessary to keep the igniter depressed for about 10 seconds.

• Note: if the burner does not light after 10 seconds, turn the knob back to the “OFF” position
and wait 1 minute before you try again.

• Repeat the above steps also for the other burners.

• Note: On some models, as well as the control knob, a separate ignition knob also needs to be

pressed.

4.5 Lighting the burners with a match extender (if provided)

If the electronic igniter does not manage to light the burners, it is also possible to light the burners
with the aid of a match.

• Put the match in the extension piece, if the barbecue is supplied with a match extender.

• Keep your face as far away as possible from the barbecue and point the extended match

through the openings in the grille toward the burner.

• Place the match close to the burner openings and turn the control knob to the “HIGH”
position.

• Note: If, after several attempts, you are still not able to light the barbecue, please contact
your sales outlet.

4.6 Lighting the side burner with the electronic igniter

• Press and turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position. You will hear a crackling noise.

• It may be necessary to keep the igniter depressed for about 10 seconds.

• If the burner does not light after 10 seconds, turn the know back to the “OFF” position and

wait 1 minute before trying again.

4.7 Lighting the side burner with matches

If the electronic igniter does not manage to light the burner, it is also possible to light the burner with
the aid of a match.

• Put the match in the extension piece, if the barbecue is supplied with a match extender.

• Keep your face as far away as possible from the barbecue and point the (extended) match at

the burner openings.

• Press and turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position.

• Note: If, after several attempts, you are still not able to light the barbecue, please contact your

sales outlet.

4.8 Storage

• After using your barbecue, close the gas supply and let the equipment cool down.

• Remove the gas bottle.

• Store the barbecue in a well-ventilated space and keep children away from the equipment.

• Do not place any easily flammable materials under the barbecue.

• If you are storing the barbecue outside, then use a cover to protect your barbecue from the

elements. In the event of outside storage, remove the cover regularly to prevent excessive
condensation from forming (which may lead to oxidation) on the metal components.

• Let the barbecue cool down before placing the cover over it or trying to move the
equipment.

4.9 Use

• The barbecue becomes extremely hot, use heat resistant gloves when using the barbecue.
Do not touch the barbecue without the correct protection.

• Use suitable barbecue utensils to prepare food on the barbecue.

5 Maintenance of your barbecue

Important: NEVER leave the barbecue outside without covering it. Rainwater could collect in the

barbecue, the frame or the grease receptacle. If the grease receptacle has not been cleaned after use
and the barbecue is uncovered, the tray can fill with water, which will cause water and grease to
pour into the frame. We recommend that you clean the grease receptacle after every use.

5.1 Cleaning

Do not use any abrasive cleaning fluids on the barbecue. These can cause scratches or damage to the
surface of the equipment.

• Warm the barbecue up by lighting the main burners on their highest setting and shutting the
lid. Do not turn on the infra-red burner(s)!

• Let the barbecue warm up for about 10 minutes to 250 degrees (Celsius).

• Turn the burners off and let the machine cool down before you start cleaning.

• Clean the racks and baking trays with a suitable cleaning brush (Available from the Boretti

Web shop).

• Remove the baking racks and the baking tray.

• Brush charred (food) remains towards the grease receptacle.

• Remove the grease receptacle and clean this with warm water and detergent.

• Use warm water and detergent to clean the outside of the barbecue.

• Dry the barbecue with a soft, clean cloth.

5.2 Grease receptacle

The grease receptacle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a build-up of dirt and remnants.

Note: ensure that the grease receptacle has cooled down before you clean it.

5.3 Grill racks

The grill racks can be cleaned immediately after cooking, once the barbecue has been switched off,
with the use of an appropriate cleaning brush. Cleaning the grill racks by using water and a degreaser
heightens the chance of oxidation/rust. You can counteract this by coating the grill racks with some
olive oil after cleaning.

5.4 Stainless-steel

After the first time of use, parts of the barbecue may become discoloured by the intense heat that
comes from the burners. This is normal.

Purchase a cleaning product for stainless steel and use this when brushing the metal down. It may be
possible for grease spots to fall on the stainless-steel parts and get burnt on, which may cause some
parts to look worn. Use a cleaning product that is not abrasive together with a cleaning product for
stainless steel, to remove the grease.

5.5 Changing the battery on the ignition (if present)

Turn the knob on the ignition loose and remove the AA battery. Put a new AA battery in place.

5.6 Enamel parts

Some of the parts on the barbecue have an enamel coating. Enamel is a glass-based product and is
very durable and resistant to wear. However, it is not resistant to shocks and knocks, which may
cause hairline cracks. The hairline cracks can lead to small pieces of enamel breaking off, which leads
to rust forming. The performance of your barbecue will not be affected by the broken off pieces or
hairline cracks. No claims can be made regarding damages to the enamel in the cooking area after
use.

5.7 Ventilation

The burners can only function properly if the heat they produce can escape as well. If this is not
possible, then the burners may not get enough oxygen, which may cause backfiring, especially if the

burners are set to “HIGH”. If this happens regularly, it may cause the burners to develop cracks. For

this reason, there are ventilation openings around the barbecue. These allow the hot air to escape.
Always ensure that there is sufficient space around the cooking area (the racks will allow sufficient
space). Never cover the ventilation openings with aluminium foil or other materials that can impede
the airflow. NEVER allow the cooking surface to be completely covered, for instance by a large pan or
by completely filling it with grill trays.

5.8 Replacing the gas hose

The gas hose should be replaced every two years. Rubber gas hoses can dry out which may result in
gas leaks.

18

5.9 Burners

It is normal for rust (oxidation) to form around the burners. Food remnants must be removed
regularly. This can be done by means of a barbecue cleaning brush. Burners must periodically be
removed for inspection and cleaning, in particular after a period of non-use/storage. The burners
must be checked for their general condition and to ensure that the openings are not blocked. The
burners can be cleaned with the use of a brush. When removing the burners, make sure that you do
not damage the gas valve and the ignition electrode.
An opening has been placed intentionally in the first part of the burner to ensure that enough oxygen
can be supplied to form a flammable mixture. This means you will see a small opening, just where
the gas valve connects to the burner. No gas will leak from this.

5.10 Spiders and insects

Spiders and insects can make their nest inside the burners of the barbecue, which may cause gas to
flow from the front of the burner. This is a dangerous situation that can cause a fire behind the
operation panel. This will damage the barbecue, which will then no longer be safe to use. Therefore,
we recommend that you check the barbecue at least once a year for spiders, insects and nests
(particularly after long storage periods). You can do this by dismantling the burner tubes and blowing
through them or brushing them clean.
