This article explains how to use the IBRIDO TOP by Boretti.
- Only use the barbecue outdoors (outside) and in a well-ventilated area.
- Never use the barbecue indoors or in any (partly) enclosed space. Toxic fumes will accumulate, which may cause serious physical injury or may result in death.
- Never use the barbecue on a flammable or combustible surface.
- Only use the barbecue on a hard, straight, and stable surface that can carry its weight.
- Keep a minimum of 3 meters distance between the barbecue and all flammable and/or combustible materials (wood, plastic, foliage, etc.) when the barbecue is being used.
- Always keep the barbecue away from gasoline and/or other flammable and/or combustible liquids, gases, fumes, or areas suspected of possibly containing these.
- Never use the barbecue if there is a strong wind.
- Make sure that the main burner(s) and the infrared burner at the back are NEVER switched on at the same time. This can lead to warping of the barbecue lid.
- The barbecue becomes very hot, never attempt to move it during or shortly after using it.
- Do not use the rotisserie in rain.
- Your barbecue can be used with gas cylinders between 5 kg and 6 kg. The maximum size of the gas cylinder should be: Dia. 300mm, Height: 470 mm. Follow the technical information as stated in the instruction manual and Check with your local gas supplier to have a suitable gas cylinder for your barbecue.
- Avoid twisting the flexible tube when the appliance is in use. The length of flexible hose shall not exceed 1.5m. In Finland, the length shall not exceed 1.2m. The hose should certified according to applicable EN Standard and comply with local code.
- The size of cooking pans can be used in our barbecue between 130mm and 220mm.
General information
Although all gas connections on the barbecue are tested for leaks before transport, a full test must also be carried out at the place of assembly. Parts may have shifted during the transportation or assembly of the barbecue. The gas pressure on the barbecue may also be too high. Check the entire system for leaks regularly and check the system immediately if you smell gas. If in doubt, shut off the gas supply.
Gas leak test
Always carry out a gas leak test prior to using the barbecue and after a longer period of non-use.
- Extinguish any open fire (DO NOT SMOKE while testing for leaks).
- Never carry out this gas leak test near open fire.
- Make a soap solution that consists of equal parts of water and liquid soap or a mild detergent.
- Follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the control buttons of the burners.
2. Remove the battery from the electronic igniter.
3. Open the gas cylinder.
4. Apply the soap solution to all connections on the gas supply. If no soap bubbles are formed, there is no gas leak. If bubbles form on a connection, it means there is a leak there. If you have detected a leak, immediately shut off the gas supply, tighten all leaking connections, open the gas cylinder again, and repeat steps 1 to 4.
5. Turn off the gas supply.
6. Use the control buttons to turn the burners on for 10 seconds to release the pressure in the hose and then turn the burners off again.
7. Remove the soap solution from the connections of the appliance with cold water and dry it with a cloth. Check all gas connections before each use (and after replacing the gas cylinder). It is recommended to check the gas hose for leaks every year, even if the gas cylinder has never been disconnected from the barbecue. Please note: Make sure that you test all individual connections (including the side burner) when testing the device for leaks and, if necessary, that they are tightened properly again. Even a small leak in the system can result in a dangerous situation. Please note: Most gas cylinders nowadays are equipped with a mechanism for detecting leaks inside the tank. If the gas is released too quickly, this mechanism will shut off the gas supply. A leak can significantly reduce the gas supply, making it difficult to start the barbecue. If you are unable to seal a gas leak, shut off the gas supply and contact the store where you bought the barbecue. Even a small leak can cause a fire. If you are unable to start the barbecue after having tried a while, contact the store where you bought the barbecue. Turn the control buttons to “OFF” when you are not using the barbecue.
Starting the barbecue
Check the overall condition of the burners. If you are unsure about the condition of the burners, please contact the store where you bought the barbecue. Make sure the barbecue is standing on a flat surface. Keep the cooking compartment clean and free from gasoline and/or other flammable or combustible liquids, flammable gases, and flammable vapours. Make sure that the combustion and ventilation are not blocked by any objects. Do not use aluminium foil in the enamelled burner compartment or around the flame tamers. Make sure the gas cylinder has adequate ventilation. Put charcoal/briquettes in the designated coal container. Never use more than 1 kilo of charcoal/briquettes. Instead of firelighters or lighter fluid, it is possible to use charcoal chimneys, electric starters or other resources suitable for lighting charcoal. Always use these in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lighting the side burner with the electronic igniter
- Press and turn the control button to the “HIGH” position. You will hear a crackling sound.
- It may sometimes be necessary to hold the igniter for about 10 seconds.
- If the burner does not turn on after 10 seconds, turn the button back to the “OFF” position and wait 1 minute before trying again.
Lighting the side burner with matches
If the electronic igniter fails to light the burner, the burner can also be ignited with a match.
- Insert the match into the extender, if the barbecue is equipped with one.
- Keep your face as far away as possible from the barbecue and hold the (extended) match at the burner openings.
- Press and turn the control button to the “HIGH” position. Please note: If you are unable to start the barbecue after having tried a while, contact the store where you bought the barbecue.
Storage
- After using your barbecue, close the gas supply and let the barbecue cool down.
- Remove the gas cylinder.
- Store the barbecue in a well-ventilated area and keep children away from the device.
- Do not place easily flammable products under the barbecue.
- If you choose to store the barbecue outdoors, use a cover to protect your barbecue from the weather. If stored outdoors, the cover should be removed regularly to avoid excessive condensation (resulting in oxidation) of metal parts.
