4. Use of your barbecue
4.1 Lighting the fire
Open the lid of the barbecue and open all air ventilation grilles. Remove the grill racks. Place charcoal/briquettes in the appropriate charcoal tray. Never use more than 2 kg charcoal/briquettes.
Chimney starters, electric starters or other items suitable for the lighting of charcoal may be used to light the barbecue instead of firelighters or barbecue lighting fluid. Always use these according to the instructions from the manufacturer.
Never use a chimney starter in combination with barbecue lighting fluid.
For the best tasting dishes, allow sufficient time for the charcoal/briquettes to get warmed through and wait until any firelighters that have been used are burnt up completely. Once the charcoal/briquettes are properly alight, spread them out into an even layer in the charcoal tray with the help of barbecue tongs which are fitted with long and heat resistant handles. Wear heat resistant gloves when carrying out this task. For your safety and your barbecue comfort, special barbecue utensils are recommended. For more tips about recommended barbecue utensils, see www.boretti.com
4.2 Controlling the fire
Building up a good fire takes both time and attention. A carefully built-up fire will result in the best return. Your barbecue will remain at temperature for longer and the use of charcoal/briquettes will be kept to a minimum.
After you have lit the barbecue and it has attained the correct temperature, you can control the temperature by making use of the air ventilation grilles. When you (partly) open the air ventilation grilles, higher temperatures will be achieved, while the (partly) closing of the air ventilation grilles will result in a lower temperature. This mean you can decide on the correct temperature. Use the thermometer for an accurate reading of the temperature.
Caution!
The air ventilation grilles can get very hot, use heat resistant gloves when
operating them.
Caution!
Do not use aluminium or tin foil on the charcoal tray. This blocks the supply
of air and has an immediate negative effect on the temperature. This can
damage the coating.
Caution!
Leaving the air ventilation grilles open for too long can result in the
barbecue getting too hot. This can damage the coating.
If required, you can add extra charcoal/briquettes during barbecuing with the use of barbecue tongs. Never use firelighters or a barbecue lighting fluid when doing so. This could result in a flare-up which can lead to physical injury and/or material damage.
4.3 ) Extinguishing the fire
- Allow all the charcoal/briquettes to burn up completely. By spreading them out properly in the charcoal tray, the fire will be extinguished more quickly.
- Close all the air ventilation grilled of the charcoal barbecue. By blocking the supply of oxygen, the fire will be extinguished more quickly.
- Never use water to extinguish the fire. Use of water may lead to physical injury and/or material damage.
- Do not empty the ash receptacle until all charcoal/briquettes and ash have been completely extinguished and the barbecue has cooled down fully.
5. Maintenance of vour barbecue
After the use of the barbecue we recommend that you store it under a barbecue cover or in the garage/shed.
Only store the barbecue after it has fully cooled down. Never store it in a damp space, and never store it in a space where flammable or inflammable substances are being stored.
5.1 Cleaning your charcoal barbecue
It is recommended to clean the grill racks immediately after use. You can use a stainless-steel barbecue brush to do this, or you can choose to use water and a mild detergent. After cleaning with water, always take care to dry the grill racks thoroughly.
6. Environmental guide. Conditions of warranty & Contact info
