4. Use of your barbecue
4.1 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.
4.2 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 re (DO NOT SMOKE while testing for leaks).
Never carry out this gas leak test near open re.
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.

12
ENBoretti Ibrido Top / User guide - Installation advice
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
signicantly reduce the gas supply, making it difcult 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 re.
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.
4.3 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 at surface.
Keep the cooking compartment clean and free from gasoline and/
or other ammable or combustible liquids, ammable gases, and
ammable vapours. Make sure that the combustion and ventilation are
not blocked by any objects.

13
ENBoretti Ibrido Top / User guide - Installation advice
Do not use aluminium foil in the enamelled burner compartment or around
the ame 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 relighters or lighter uid, 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.
Warning:
*Do not start the barbecue if you smell gas!
*Check the gas hose for cracks or wear (see: GAS LEAK TEST).
*Keep your face and body as far away from the barbecue as
possible when starting the barbecue.
*Do not use spirit, petrol or other flammable liquids to
ignite or to re-ignite the barbecue! Only use igniters that
comply with EN 1860-3!
*Use relighters or a barbecue lighting uid to ignite the re.
*Only use relighters or a barbecue lighter uid that meets the
legal standard and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
*After the charcoal has turned red-hot, wait 30 minutes before
the meat can be prepared.
*Never add ammable and/or combustible uids to warm or hot
charcoal/briquettes. This could cause a ame jet, which can
result in physical injury and/or material damage.
*Be careful with adding charcoal/briquettes to an existing re. A
jet ame can result in physical injury and/or material damage.
*If the grease trap is missing in addition to the ash collector (if
applicable), you may never use the barbecue.
4.4 Lighting the burners with an electronic igniter
*Make sure all buttons are in the “OFF” position.
*Always open the lid before starting the barbecue.

14
ENBoretti Ibrido Top / User guide - Installation advice
4.5 Lighting the burners with a match extender (if present)
*The burner can also be ignited with the help of a match into the
extender, if the barbecue is equipped with one. Open the gas supply.
*Keep your face as far away from the barbecue as possible and move
the match extender through the openings in the grills to the burner.
*Position the match extender near the burner openings and 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.
4.6 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.
4.7 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.

4.8 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 ammable 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.
*Allow the barbecue to cool down before putting on the cover or moving
the barbecue.
4.9 Use
*The barbecue becomes very hot, use heat-resistant gloves when using
the barbecue. Do not touch the barbecue without proper protection.
*Use suitable barbecue tools to prepare food on the barbecue.
5. Maintaining your barbecue
Important:
NEVER leave the barbecue outside uncovered. Water may collect
in the barbecue, undercarriage or grease tray. If the grease tray has
not been cleaned after use and the barbecue is not covered, the
tray will ll with water, causing water and grease to ow into the
undercarriage. We recommend that you clean the grease tray
after each use.
5.1 Cleaning
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents on the barbecue. These can
scratch and damage the surface.
*Heat the barbecue by turning on the main burners to the highest setting
and then closing the lid. Do not turn the infrared burner(s) on!
*Heat the barbecue for 10 minutes to 250°C.
*Turn off the burners and allow the barbecue to cool down before cleaning.

16
ENBoretti Ibrido Top / User guide - Installation advice
*Clean the grills and at top grill with a suitable cleaning brush (available
in the Boretti webshop).
*Remove the cooking grills and at top grill.
*Brush charred (food) residue towards the grease tray.
*Remove the grease tray and clean it with warm water and detergent.
*Use warm water and detergent to clean the outside of the barbecue.
*Dry the barbecue with a soft, clean cloth.
5.2 Grease collection tray
The grease tray must be cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation
of dirt and residue.
Please note:
make sure the grease tray has cooled down before cleaning it.
5.3 Grills
The grills can be cleaned immediately after cooking, if the barbecue
is turned off, with a suitable cleaning brush. Cleaning the grills with a
degreasing agent and water increases the risk of oxidation/rust. This
can be prevented by rubbing the grills with olive oil after cleaning.
5.4 Stainless steel
After the rst use, parts of the barbecue may become discoloured by
the intense heat of the burners. This is normal.
Use a stainless steel cleaning agent and rub it in the same direction
as the brushing of the metal. It is possible that grease splatters and
sticks on the stainless steel parts, making some parts look worn. Use
a non-abrasive cleaning agent in combination with a stainless steel
cleaning agent to remove the grease.
5.5 Changing the battery of the igniter (if present)
Turn and remove the igniter button and remove the AA battery. Insert a
new AA battery.
5.6 Enamel parts
Some parts of the barbecue have an enamel coating. Enamel is a
glass-based product and is very durable and wear-free. However, it is
not very resistant to shocks and impact, which may cause ne cracks.

17
ENBoretti Ibrido Top / User guide - Installation advice
These ne cracks can lead to small pieces of enamel breaking off,
resulting in rust spots. However, chips and ne cracks in the enamel
will not affect the performance of your barbecue.
No claim can be made on the warranty for enamel damage in the
cooking area after use.
5.7 Ventilation
The burners can only work properly if the heat they produce can also
escape. If this is not possible, the burners may not get enough oxygen.
This can cause an after-ignition, especially if the burners are in the
“HIGH” position. If this happens repeatedly, cracks may occur in the
burners. For this reason, there are ventilation openings
around the barbecue.
These allow hot air to escape. Always make sure that there is
sufcient open space around the cooking surface (the grills provide
sufcient space). Never cover the ventilation openings with foil or
other materials that obstruct the air ow. Ensure that the cooking
surface is NEVER covered completely, for example by a large pan or
with only grill at tops.
5.8 Replacing the gas hose
The gas hose must be replaced every two years. Rubber gas hoses
can dry out which may result in gas leakage.
5.9 Burners
It is normal that rust forms on the burners (oxidation). Food residue
must be removed regularly. This can be done with a barbecue
cleaning brush. Burners must be removed for inspection and cleaning
periodically, especially after a period of non-use/storage. The burners
must be checked for their overall condition and to ensure that the
openings are not blocked. The burners can be cleaned by brushing
them. If you remove the burners, make sure that the gas tap and the
ignition electrode do not get damaged.
An opening has deliberately been made in the beginning of the burner,
to ensure that there is sufcient oxygen supply to create the right gas
mixture. As a result, you would be able to see a small opening, where
the gas tap connects to the burner. No gas will leak out here.

18
ENBoretti Ibrido Top / User guide - Installation advice
5.10 Spiders and insects
Spiders and insects may nest in the burners of your barbecue, which
means that the gas can escape out of the front of the burner. This is very
dangerous and may cause a re behind the control panel. This will damage
the barbecue, which will consequently no longer be safe for use.
We therefore recommend to check the barbecue for spiders, insects and
their nests at least once a year (mainly after a long period of storage).
You can do this by dismantling the burner tubes and blowing into them or
brushing them off.
6. Environmental regulations, warranty
