This article explains how to use the LUCIANO NERO by Boretti.
- Only use the barbecue out of doors (outside) and in a well-ventilated space. Never use the barbecue inside or in any (partly) enclosed space. Toxic fumes may build up and these can cause serious physical injury or death.
- Never use the barbecue on a flammable or inflammable surface.
- Only use the barbecue on a hard, straight and stable surface that can take the weight.
- Keep a distance of at least 3 metres between the barbecue and all flammable and/or inflammable materials (wood, plastic, foliage etc.), when the barbecue is in use.
- Always keep the barbecue 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 barbecue under strong wind conditions.
- Ensure that the main burner(s) and the infra-red burner at the back are NEVER switched on at the same time. This can lead to the lid of the barbecue warping or buckling.
- The barbecue becomes extremely hot, never move it during or shortly after use.
- Most of the Boretti barbecues have wheels which makes them easy to move. Take care when moving the barbecue across uneven terrain; otherwise the wheels may get damaged.
- Do not use the roasting spit in the event of rain.
- The size of cooking pans can be used in our barbecue between 130mm and 220mm.
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.
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 washingup 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.
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.
- 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 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fridge
- The fridge is activated by turning the thermostatic dial (in the fridge on the left side) from 0 to 7. If you prefer a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number.
- If you place products in the fridge immediately, it will take longer to reach the correct temperature. Please keep in mind that it will take up to 24 hours before all products have reached the right temperature.
- Turn the fridge off (turn thermostat to 0) if you are not going to be using it for a longer period of time.
