PowerChef® Electric Grill Features

Welcome and Thank You for purchasing a Dimplex Electric Grill.

This introduction highlights the many features of the PowerChef® Electric Grill. Detailed operating instructions are contained later on in this manual.

EvenSear® Cooking System

At the heart of your electric grill is the EvenSear® Cooking System. The dual layer grill system functions in two ways. The cooking grate sears your food, with direct contact, and at the same time your food is cooked gently and evenly by additional heat radiating through the lower level element. The EvenSear® system ensures that all energy supplied to the grill is directly used to cook your food. Energy that would otherwise be wasted heating the cabinet or air surrounding the food is focused on cooking your food to perfection. The EvenSear®Cooking System applies energy through both grill

layers and ows evenly and consistently throughout the entire

grill area, eliminating “hot spots” or “cool spots”.

No unwanted fumes. Safe and Fast.

PowerChef® utilizes your standard household electric current and provides a closely controlled source of heat to your food. No gas or other fuel fumes will impart unwanted tastes or odor to your food. The PowerChef® system is safe, with no open

ame or combustion, provides fast efcient heat up, and no

refueling is ever necessary!

Easy to Clean

With its stainless steel cooking grate, the EvenSear® Cooking System is easy to keep clean. No taste or odor is ever transferred to the food through this high quality grill.

100% Use of Grill

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!

Program Cooking

The PowerChef® Electric Grill’s advanced cooking control panel provides precision controllability on a wide choice of popular foods, assuring they are cooked to perfection. The control panel prompts you through easy to follow steps in programming multiple food choices, cooking settings and time adjustments. Once programmed, the electric grill prompts you when it is time to start cooking, when it is time to turn your food over and when it is done! Audible and visual signals alert you to each step!

Manual Cooking

If pre-programmed cooking options don’t suit your taste, you can of course prepare your food your way using the Manual Mode.

Lid Down Cooking

Although not necessary, to conserve energy and reduce cooking time, we recommend that the PowerChef® Electric Grill be used with the lid down during cooking. A typical thermometer featured in many other grills, which reads only the air temperature, inside the cabinet is unnecessary on the PowerChef® Electric Grill.

Versatile

With no open ame, no combustion and no need to refuel, the

PowerChef® Electric Grill 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.

Advanced Control System

The PowerChef® Electric Grill provides precision cooking control in your choice of either MANUAL or PROGRAM

modes. To accommodate your specic tastes, audible and

visual prompts guide you through your cooking selections and virtually assures food is cooked to perfection.
