PowerChef® Table Top Features

Welcome and Thank You for purchasing a Dimplex PowerChef

Table Top Electric

Grill.

The following introduction highlights the many features of your electric grill. Detailed operating instructions are contained later on in this manual.

EvenSear

At the heart of your PowerChef

Cooking System

Table Top grill is the EvenSear® Cooking System. The dual layer grill system functions in two ways. The top grill sears your food, with direct contact, and at the same time your food is cooked gently and evenly by additional radiant heat from the lower element. The EvenSear® system ensures that all energy supplied to the grill is directly used on cooking your food to perfection. The EvenSear® Cooking System applies energy evenly and consistently throughout the entire grill area, eliminating “cool spots”.

No Combustion or Tanks

PowerChef

Table Top grill utilizes your standard household electric current and provides a safe source of heat to cook your food. The PowerChef® Table

Top grill, with no open ame or

combustion, heats up quickly, and never needs refueling! No gas or other fuel fumes will impart unwanted tastes or odor to your food.

Easy to Clean

With its stainless steel upper grill, the EvenSear

Cooking System

is easy to keep clean.

100% Usable Grill Surface

Because there are no variations in temperature or performance, the EvenSear

Cooking System provides 100% use of its grill area. The full 216 square inch grill maintains a consistent even temperature, even in the corners!

Lid Down Cooking

To conserve energy and reduce cooking time, we recommend that the PowerChef

Table Top be used with the lid down during cooking. A thermometer, featured in many other grills, which reads only the air temperature inside the cabinet, is unnecessary on the PowerChef® Table Top. The EvenSear® Cooking System relies and utilizes direct cooking rather than air temperature to cook your food.

PowerChef® Table Top Features

Versatile

With no open ame, no

combustion and no need to refuel the PowerChef can be used safely in many areas that other grills cannot.

Electrical Requirements

A Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) outdoor outlet or a circuit protected by a ground fault breaker with a rating of 15 Amps, 120 Volts is strongly recommended. A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows on a regular basis when the electric grill is operating. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.
