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”.

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.

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!

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.
