Use Of Your Barbecue; Lighting The Fire - BORETTI CARBONE Notice D'emploi

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 3 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.
