AMALFI - Usage instructions – Support

This article explains how to use the AMALFI by Boretti.

Only use the appliance out of doors (outside) and in a well-ventilated space. Never use the appliance inside or in any (partly) enclosed space. Toxic fumes may build up and these can cause serious physical injury or death.
Never use the appliance on a flammable or inflammable surface.
Only use the appliance on a hard, straight and stable surface that can take the weight.
Keep a distance of at least 3 metres between the appliance and all flammable and/ or inflammable materials (wood, plastic, foliage etc.), when the device is in use.
Always keep the appliance away from petrol and/or other flammable or inflammable liquids, flammable gases, flammable fumes or areas where you suspect these may be present.
Never use the appliance under strong wind conditions.
The oven becomes extremely hot, never move it during or shortly after use.

General information

Although all gas connections on the oven are tested for leakages before transport, a complete test must be carried out at the assembly site. During transport or assembly, parts of the oven 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.

Gas leak test

Always carry out a gas leak test before use of the oven and when the oven 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 washingup liquid
Follow the steps below:

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

2. Open the gas bottle.

3. 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 3.

4. Turn the gas supply off.

5. 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.

6. 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 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 oven. 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 oven then contact your sales outlet. Note: Ensure that the control knobs are in the “OFF” position when you are not using the equipment.

Before lighting the oven

Check the general conditions of the burner. If you are in doubt about the condition of the burners, then contact your sales outlet.
Ensure that the oven is placed on a level surface.
This appliance must be kept away from flammable materials during use. 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 burner and ventilation.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation for the gas bottle. Warning:
Do not light the oven 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 oven as possible when lighting it.
When the oven is switched on, the mouth of the oven must be open.

Connect the gas cylinder to the oven

The cylinder, should always be equipped with the correct pressure regulator (not supplied) and must be connected to the oven via a flexible rubber tube (not supplied) suitable for use and between 60 and 150 cm in length. The oven inlet connection has a G1/2" F thread on which to attach a specific adapter to connect to the LPG cylinder according to the regulations of the destination country. In the example, we see a hose connection (not universally applicable) where the hose must be tightened with a clamp in order to avoid accidental losses or disconnections. The cylinder must always be equipped with a fixed calibration pressure regulator (not supplied) for the type of gas used and depending on the country of destination. Avoid twisting, bending or crushing the hose. If there are obvious signs of wear or the date of use imprinted on the tube has expired, replace it immediately. Ensure the hoes does not contectany high temperature surfaces, or it may melt and leak causing a fire. Pressure REGULATOR (not supplied): This appliance must be equipped with a pressure regulator in compliance with local/national standards and/or regulations with a nominal pressure output of: CATEGORY 13+(28-30/37) Propane 37 mbar. Butane 28-30 mbar. CATEGORY I3B/P (30) Propane/Butane 30 mbar Never use an unregulated gas source! Always handle the cylinder with care. Never place it in a horizontal position as the valve may become damaged. This could cause serious safety issues. Always use the cylinder upright. If positioned horizontally, the cylinder could allow the combustible liquid to reach the pipes, creating damage with risk of explosion.

Lighting the oven with the electronic igniter

After connecting the gas line to the oven, check the tightness of the connections and possibly resolve any leaks. With the knob in the off position, press and check if the igniter is working. If everything works, open the tap on the cylinder and proceed with the ignition as described below.
When the oven door is open, turn the knob to the maximum power position and press. The electronic igniter is connected to the knob and is activated when the knob is pressed. Press and hold the knob for a few seconds even after switching on so that the thermocouple can come into operation and keep the gas flow open on the valve.
In the first phases after changing the cylinder and reopening the valve, it may not turn on immediately because the circuit is empty. Insist for a few seconds. If the ignition does not start after a couple of attempts, wait a few minutes to allow any unburned gas to disperse and then try the ignition again. Any accumulation of gas could give rise to flames and/or potentially dangerous detonations causing damage, burns or death in extreme cases.
Once lit it is possible to adjust the flame by turning the knob between the min/ max positions.
CAUTION: CHECK FLAME AFTER IGNITION. All burner holes should show a flame of about 2.5cm on max knob position. If you smell gas, if backfire occurs, if the burner makes small bursts, or the flames are uneven along the length of the burner there may be a problem with the venturi tube. In this case SWITCH THE OVEN OFF IMMEDIATELY and close the gas valve on the gas cylinder.
Once the cooking is finished or at the end of use, correctly follow the shutdown procedure below. When the flame is still on, close the tap on the cylinder and wait for the burner to turn off, only after turning the knob to the "closed" position. This ensures the complete emptying of the circuit from the gas. Note: If, after several attempts, you are still not able to light the oven, please contact your sales outlet or the Boretti Service Team.

Safety advice on hot parts

Some parts, indicated below, can become really hot and should not be touched when oven is on. The chimney, outer body parts, door and handle will all become hot when oven is in use.
Wear heat-resistant gloves at all times TO AVOID ACCIDENTS AND BURNS.
Even the door handle, despite being made of silicone, after prolonged use of the oven could become hot and we strongly recommend to use heat-resistant gloves at all times.

Storage

After using your oven, close the gas supply and let the equipment cool down.
After closing the gas valve; disconnect the gas bottle.
Store the oven in a well-ventilated space and keep children away from the equipment.
Do not place any easily flammable materials under the oven.
If you are storing the oven outside, then use a cover to protect your oven 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 oven cool down completely before placing the cover over it or trying to move the appliance.
Never store butane or propane gas cylinders (even if empty) in the house, cellar or basement. Propane gas is heavier than air, if there is a leak the gas will accumulate at the lowest level and become dangerous in the presence of a spark or flame. Store the cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Never store replacement or even empty Butane or Propane gas cylinders near the appliance in use “danger of fire and/or explosion”.
Moving the oven is allowed only if it is cold and after closing the cylinder valve if it is housed under a trolley. If the cylinder is outside the trolley, it is advisable to close the valve and disconnect it before moving the oven to avoid tipping over and/or damage to the cylinder that could compromise its use and functionality with the risk of causing fires and/or explosions.

Use

The oven becomes extremely hot, use heat resistant gloves when using the oven. Do not touch the oven without the correct protection.
Use suitable pizza tools to prepare food on the oven.
Always place the cylinder in an accessible place to facilitate opening and closing in case of emergency.
Never subject cylinders to heat. The internal pressure could increase and exceed its safety limits.
