4. Use of your barbecue
4.1 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.
4.2 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.
Gasbottle 5-6 kg
Max 300mm
Max 470mm

ENBoretti Ligorio Top / User guide - Installation advice
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.
4.3 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.

ENBoretti Ligorio Top / User guide - Installation advice
4.4 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.
4.5 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:

4.8 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.
4.9 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.

5. Maintenance of your barbecue
Important:
NEVER leave the barbecue outside without covering it. Rainwater could collect in
the barbecue, the frame or the grease receptacle. If the grease receptacle has not
been cleaned after use and the barbecue is uncovered, the tray can fill with water,
which will cause water and grease to pour into the frame. We recommend that
you clean the grease receptacle after every use.
Important:
Parts sealed by the manufacturer or his agent shall not be manipulated by the
user; No modifications should be made to any part of this barbecue.
5.1 Cleaning
Do not use any abrasive cleaning fluids on the barbecue. These can cause scratches
or damage to the surface of the equipment.
*Warm the barbecue up by lighting the main burners on their highest setting and
shutting the lid. Do not turn on the infra-red burner(s)!
*Let the barbecue warm up for about 10 minutes to 250 degrees (Celsius).
*Turn the burners off and let the machine cool down before you start cleaning.
*Clean the racks and baking trays with a suitable cleaning brush (Available from
the Boretti Web shop).
*Remove the baking racks and the baking tray.
*Brush charred (food) remains towards the grease receptacle.
*Remove the grease receptacle and clean this 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 receptacle
The grease receptacle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a build-up of dirt and
remnants.
Note:
Ensure that the grease receptacle has cooled down before you clean it.

18
ENBoretti Ligorio Top / User guide - Installation advice
5.3 Grill racks
The grill racks can be cleaned immediately after cooking, once the barbecue has
been switched off, with the use of an appropriate cleaning brush. Cleaning the grill
racks by using water and a degreaser heightens the chance of oxidation/rust. You
can counteract this by coating the grill racks with some olive oil after cleaning.
5.4 Stainless-steel
After the first time of use, parts of the barbecue may become discoloured by the
intense heat that comes from the burners. This is normal.
Purchase a cleaning product for stainless steel and use this when brushing the
metal down. It may be possible for grease spots to fall on the stainless-steel parts
and get burnt on, which may cause some parts to look worn. Use a cleaning product
that is not abrasive together with a cleaning product for stainless steel, to remove
the grease.
5.5 Changing the battery on the ignition (if present)
Turn the knob on the ignition loose and remove the AA battery. Put a new AA battery
in place.
5.6 Enamel parts
Some of the parts on the barbecue have an enamel coating. Enamel is a glass-
based product and is very durable and resistant to wear. However, it is not resistant
to shocks and knocks, which may cause hairline cracks. The hairline cracks can
lead to small pieces of enamel breaking off, which leads to rust forming. The
performance of your barbecue will not be affected by the broken off pieces or
hairline cracks. No claims can be made regarding damages to the enamel in the
cooking area after use.
5.7 Ventilation
The burners can only function properly if the heat they produce can escape as
well. If this is not possible, then the burners may not get enough oxygen, which
may cause backfiring, especially if the burners are set to “HIGH”. If this happens
regularly, it may cause the burners to develop cracks. For this reason, there are
ventilation openings around the barbecue. These allow the hot air to escape.

19
ENBoretti Ligorio Top / User guide - Installation advice
Always ensure that there is sufficient space around the cooking area (the racks
will allow sufficient space). Never cover the ventilation openings with aluminium
foil or other materials that can impede the airflow. NEVER allow the cooking
surface to be completely covered, for instance by a large pan or by completely
filling it with grill trays.
5.8 Replacing the gas hose
The gas hose should be replaced every two years. Rubber gas hoses can dry out
which may result in gas leaks.
5.9 Burners
It is normal for rust (oxidation) to form around the burners. Food remnants must
be removed regularly. This can be done by means of a barbecue cleaning brush.
Burners must periodically be removed for inspection and cleaning, in particular
after a period of non-use/storage. The burners must be checked for their general
condition and to ensure that the openings are not blocked. The burners can be
cleaned with the use of a brush. When removing the burners, make sure that you do
not damage the gas valve and the ignition electrode.
An opening has been placed intentionally in the first part of the burner to ensure that
enough oxygen can be supplied to form a flammable mixture. This means you will
see a small opening, just where the gas valve connects to the burner. No gas will
leak from this.
5.10 Spiders and insects
Spiders and insects can make their nest inside the burners of the barbecue, which
may cause gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a dangerous situation
that can cause a fire behind the operation panel. This will damage the barbecue,
which will then no longer be safe to use. Therefore, we recommend that you check
the barbecue at least once a year for spiders, insects and nests (particularly after
long storage periods). You can do this by dismantling the burner tubes and blowing
through them or brushing them clean.
