2PowerChef ® 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!

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.

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.

circuits. To reduce the risk of re, electric shock

or injury to persons, always use a licensed

electrician.

pools, ponds, and hot tubs.

2. Ensure the electric grill is positioned more

than eight (8) inches (20 cm) away from any

combustible material or surfaces before cooking.

3. Ensure that there are no ammable or other

volatile materials in the direct area before grilling.

4. For ease of electrical hook up you may wish to

locate the electric grill near an existing outlet (refer

to NOTE).

5. Cover to protect your electric grill after use and for

storage. Allow the grill to cool before installing the

cover.

The dimensions of the electric grill are 24 inches (61

cm) wide x 40 inches (101.6 cm) high x 18 inches

Skillet Cooking Tips

Only oil or grease Skillet once it has been fully preheated. •

Let a few drops of cold water touch the Skillet for a test of

readiness. If the droplets spatter and evaporate quickly,

Skillet is ready.

Use only vegetable or corn oils to grease Skillet. Others •

like olive oil or margarine have a lower smoking point and

may affect the taste of your food.

For additional avouring, use pre-cook marinades.•

Allow foods to sear and seal their outer surfaces before •

attempting to move or lift. Food may separate or break

otherwise.

As Skillet is used, a Patina (a brown or black lm) will •

cooking grid and each accessory after each use.

in use or before cleaning. Allow the grill and accessories

to cool before cleaning.

The Drip Tray is located under the cooking grid and is

The Drip Tray can be lined with aluminum foil and/or we

recommend the use of a non-stick cooking spray to make

clean-up easier.

(Figure 10) and pull slightly forward.

Place hands on either side of the Drip Tray and 2.

completely free of the unit.

more if full. Use caution when removing from grill to avoid

personal injury.

of the electric grill. Do not attempt to remove.

following steps as outlined above. The Brush accessory

has the necessary prole to t between the bottom of the
