Features & benefits of the Imperatore Nero cover

High-quality polyester material for long-lasting protection

The polyester material from which this barbecue cover is made has been specially selected to protect your Boretti barbecue optimally. Polyester is renowned for its excellent weather resistance and remains supple, even with changing temperatures. The material is treated to be water-repellent, so rainwater beads off the cover and your barbecue stays dry. Additionally, the cover protects against harmful UV radiation that could otherwise damage the paint and plastic parts of your barbecue.

Custom-fit for the Imperatore Nero 4BBI

This cover is not just a universal barbecue cover, but specially designed for the Imperatore Nero 4BBI. With exact dimensions of 90 x 70 x 70 centimetres, the cover fits perfectly to all contours of this specific barbecue. A well-fitting cover is essential: too loose and wind can get under the cover causing condensation, too tight and the cover stretches too much causing faster wear and tear. The custom-fit design prevents both problems and ensures optimal protection.

Sleek black design matching Boretti's Italian aesthetics

Boretti is known for combining Dutch functionality with Italian design principles, and this cover is no exception. The sleek black finish seamlessly matches the elegant appearance of the Imperatore Nero series. Even when your barbecue is covered in the garden, the cover contributes to a well-maintained and stylish outdoor space. The black polyester also has a high-quality finish that resists discolouration from sunlight.

Reliable 2 years' warranty for worry-free use

Boretti provides 2 years' warranty on this barbecue cover, which underscores confidence in the quality and durability. This means that for two years you are assured of a cover that fully performs its protective function. The warranty covers material defects and construction faults, so you can protect your barbecue against the elements with peace of mind. This warranty period is a clear signal that Boretti stands behind the quality of their accessories.

Uses

Protection during the off-season

The primary use of this barbecue cover is naturally to protect your Imperatore Nero 4BBI during periods when you are not using the barbecue. In the autumn and winter months, when you barbecue less often, the cover prevents moisture, leaves and dirt from accumulating on and around your barbecue. Also during spring, when the weather can be changeable, the cover protects your investment between barbecue sessions. The water-repellent polyester ensures your barbecue always stays dry and is ready to use when you are.

Daily protection against the weather

Even during the barbecue season, the cover is valuable for daily protection. After cleaning your barbecue, you can place the cover over it to prevent dust, pollen or unexpected showers from undoing your cleaning work. For owners who leave their Boretti barbecue outside permanently, the cover is essential to prevent UV damage. Sunlight can cause plastic handles and control knobs to discolour and become brittle, but with the cover you effectively prevent this problem.

Preserving value and appearance

A Boretti barbecue is an investment in quality and enjoyable moments, comparable to the high-quality barbecues you see in programmes like The Great Garden Makeover. By consistently covering your barbecue with this fitted cover, you preserve not only the functionality but also the aesthetic value. This is especially important if you ever consider selling or trading in your barbecue. A well-maintained barbecue with minimal weather exposure retains its value significantly better than a barbecue that has been exposed to the elements unprotected for years.

Assembly & use

Using the Boretti BBQ cover for the Imperatore Nero 4BBI is straightforward and requires no assembly. However, make sure your barbecue has cooled completely before putting the cover on – this is a crucial safety point that must not be overlooked. Place the cover over the barbecue and ensure that all sides are well covered. Check that the cover sits evenly and is not stretched anywhere too tightly, so air circulation is possible to prevent condensation.

For optimal maintenance of the cover, you can periodically clean it with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning product. Let the cover dry completely before putting it back over the barbecue. Avoid aggressive cleaning products or bleach, as these can damage the water-repellent coating. If the cover gets dirty during use, you can simply brush off or rinse away loose leaves and dirt. The polyester material dries quickly, so you can use the cover again shortly after cleaning.

Outside the barbecue season, when you store the barbecue for a longer period, it is advisable to make sure both the barbecue and the inside of the cover are clean and dry. Some barbecue owners choose to place silica gel sachets in the barbecue before putting the cover on, to absorb extra moisture. Check occasionally during the winter months to ensure no moisture has accumulated under the cover and lift the cover occasionally to let fresh air in. These simple steps ensure that your barbecue is in perfect condition next season.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cover fit other Boretti barbecue models?

This cover is specifically designed for the Imperatore Nero 4BBI with dimensions of 90 x 70 x 70 centimetres. Separate covers are available for other Boretti models that fit exactly those specific dimensions. It is important to choose the correct size for optimal protection and fit. At Boender Outdoor you will find the appropriate cover for each Boretti model.

Is the cover completely waterproof or water-repellent?

The cover is water-repellent, which means water beads off and does not immediately penetrate the material. In extreme weather conditions with prolonged, heavy rain, some moisture may eventually seep through. For daily use and protection against normal Dutch weather conditions, the cover provides excellent protection. It is advisable to regularly check the barbecue itself for moisture accumulation.

Can I wash the cover in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to wash the cover in the washing machine, as this can damage the water-repellent coating and cause the material to shrink. Hand cleaning with lukewarm water, a soft brush and mild soapy water is the best method. Rinse the cover thoroughly and let it air dry. This approach keeps the cover in good condition longer and maintains the water-repellent properties.

How do I prevent mould growth under the cover?

You prevent mould growth by ensuring that both the barbecue and the cover are dry before putting the cover on. Ensure adequate air circulation and check regularly, especially during damp periods. If you are storing the barbecue for a longer time, you can remove the cover occasionally to air everything out. A clean, dry barbecue and a well-fitting cover that allows air circulation are the keys to preventing mould.

Does the cover also protect against birds and pests?

Yes, the cover provides an effective barrier against birds that might otherwise land on and dirty your barbecue. The cover also prevents insects, spiders or other small pests from nesting in and around your barbecue. This is especially valuable if your barbecue is not used for longer periods. Make sure the cover fits well and has no large openings where small animals could crawl underneath.
