MIBRASA GMB 160 Fire Parrilla Grill

Introduction

Precision and strength defines the new Mibrasa® Parrilla. Thanks to the carefully engineered design with elevation system and positional brake, the Mibrasa® Parrilla effortlessly regulates the height of the grill from the heat of embers with maximum safety and minimum maintenance.

The Mibrasa® Parrilla lets us sear, cook and rest our ingredients, achieving the optimal result every time.

The Mibrasa® Parrilla is manufactured with steels of the latest technology following the most rigorous quality controls. Like all Mibrasa® units, they comply to the strict standards & regulations set by internationally recognized certifications of quality.

Parrilla by Mibrasa®

Ergonomic design, maximum quality and security.

Our Parrilla has an elevating system designed and patented by Mibrasa® that enables height adjustments between the grill and hot coals to provide the chef with total control allowing them to cook with more efficiency.
With a sloping grill, the grease runs down the weld-free grill bars to prevent grease build-up.
Grease drips down to the collector with an easy to remove mechanism ready to clean.
The base is lined with refractory bricks to ensure maximum heat efficiency and resistance to pure fire. The built-in cooling system in the outer case guarantees maximum safety.
Built using quality steels providing strength and durability; ergonomically designed for practicality and ease of use, each feature plays a crucial part in delivering the ultimate grilling machine for every chef.
Parilla grilling lends itself to an array of foods from meat, fish, seafood and vegetables, imparting light smoky aromas and flavours we seek in grill cooking. Any other use instead of cooking food is not allowed

Maintenance and safety standards

Daily cleaning

Do not use chemical products or water to clean the inside of the Parrilla.

Lifting system: Once cold, clean the entire surface of the guide column and the drive shaft with degreaser.

Grills: Clean using the grill brush before and after each use.

Ash extraction: Use the ash shovel to remove the ash. Once the ashes have completely\ cooled down they can be disposed of or used as fertilizer.
WARNING Do not dispose the ashes in a flammable-container or heat- deformable container.

Weekly cleaning

If dirt is detected inside the lifting system that cannot be cleaned externally with the daily cleaning of the guide column, when it is cold, proceed to remove the protection casing by unscrewing the four lower and two upper screws. Once clean, proceed in reverse to mount the protection.

Maintenance

Every six months, remove the protection casing from the gears and clean the gears, pulleys and the lift system with degreaser. Once this cleaning has been carried out, grease the entire system with special grease for high temperatures (minimum use temperature 300º).
It is recommended to review the status of the steel cable of the elevation system every two years.

Special care

Exhaust hood: It is very important to keep the exhaust hood filters clean as well as the interior and ducts to avoid a build up of soot, fat and creosote1 , which could result in a possible fire.

Mibrasa® is not responsible for any damages occurred caused by wrongful use, when the installation instructions have not been followed or wrongful maintenance of the exhaust hood.

1 Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The oven flue should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of fire.

Please read this entire manual before you install the Mibrasa® Parrilla.
Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Safety standards

WARNINGS

  • Do not pack required air spaces with insulation or other materials.

  • Only use charcoal in the Mibrasa® Parrilla.

  • The first time the Parrilla is used do not cook food for at least one hour after lighting.

  • Proceed with reasonable care when operating a Mibrasa® Parrilla. Never leave it unattended when lit.

  • CAUTION Do not overload/fire. Consult the loading table of point 5 when flames spill out of the oven, you are over-firing.

  • Disposal of ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
    The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When the ashes are disposed by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

  • Do not attempt to pour water over the hot coals.

  • Do not clean the Parrilla when it is in operation or still hot.

  • Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or
    similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this oven. Keep such liquids well away from the oven when in use.

  • In the case of installing the Parrilla in an outdoor setting, do not cover it with any type of protective cover or inflammable material when it is in operation or hot.

  • Read the restrictions in point 4.1 on minimum distances from combustible materials.
