PowerChef Convertible Features
Welcome and Thank You for purchasing a Dimplex
PowerChef Convertible Electric Grill.
The following introduction highlights the many features of the
PowerChef Convertible grill. Detailed operating instructions
are contained later on in this manual.
EvenSear™ Cooking System
At the heart of your PowerChef Convertible 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”.
Portable and Convertible
The PowerChef Convertible features a locking lid design
that allows the lid bar to serve as the carrying handle should
you choose to move the grill or take it with you. In addition,
a range of optional accessories are available that allow the
standard tabletop unit to be used on a freestanding pedestal
or as a permanent wall-mount installation. Side shelves
are also available for either the pedestal or wall-mount
configurations.
No Combustion or Tanks
PowerChef Convertible grill utilizes your standard household
electric current and provides a safe source of heat to cook
your food. The PowerChef Convertible grill, with no open
flame 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!
Advanced Control System
The PowerChef Convertible provides precision cooking
control in your choice of either MANUAL or PROGRAM
modes.
Program Cooking
The PowerChef Convertible advanced cooking technology
panel provide precision control for a wide choice of foods,
assuring they are cooked to perfection. The control panel
prompts you through easy steps to program the type of food
and how well you like it cooked. Once programmed, the
PowerChef Convertible 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 signals alert you to each step! If you miss
a signal, the PowerChef Convertible grill automatically
reduces the heat to a minimum heat setting to avoid
overcooking.
Manual Cooking
If pre-programmed cooking options don’t suit your taste, you
can of course prepare food your way using the manual mode.
Lid Down Cooking
To conserve energy and reduce cooking time, we
recommend that the PowerChef Convertible 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 Convertible.
The EvenSear™ Cooking System relies and utilizes direct
cooking rather than air temperature to cook your food.
Versatile
With no open flame, no combustion and no need to refuel
the PowerChef Convertible 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.
