2 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 flows 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
flame or combustion, provides fast efficient 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!
Advanced Control System
The PowerChef ® Electric Grill provides precision cooking
control in your choice of either MANUAL or PROGRAM
modes. To accommodate your specific tastes, audible and
visual prompts guide you through your cooking selections and
virtually assures food is cooked to perfection.
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 flame, 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.
