Frequently Asked Questions
Does it take a long time to cook using the PowerChef?
No. The 650°F cooking surface temperature makes your cooking experience fast
and easy.
Is the grill large enough to cook for my family?
Yes. The full 216 square inch grill maintains a consistent even temperature and
allows you to utilize its entire surface, even the corners. For example, it easily
can cook eight large hamburgers at one time.
Can I use my PowerChef grill in the rain?
No. Never use an electric grill in the rain, sleet or snow.
Can I use my electric grill during thunder/lighting storms?
No. It is best not to use the PowerChef during thunder or lightning storms to
avoid the risk of electrical shock.
Can I get an electrical shock while using my PowerChef electric grill?
No, not if the unit is in proper working condition. However, as with all electric
appliances to protect against electric shock, never immerse cord, plug or the
electric heating element in water or any other liquid. Never operate any
appliance with damaged electrical components. Regularly inspect supply cord
and connections. If cord, element or control is damaged or worn, it must be
replaced by an authorized service facility, as special tools are required. Do not
attempt to repair the appliance yourself. As for any outdoor appliance, it is
strongly recommended that a Ground Fault Interrupt outdoor outlet or a circuit
protected by a ground fault breaker with a rating of 15amps, 110/120-volts is
used.
Is power equally distributed between the two cooking grids?
70% of the power is used by the lower cooking element while 30% of the power
is used by the upper searing element.
CLEANING
How do I clean the cooking grid?
While the grill is still warm use a stiff wire brush to clear the grill of all food
particles. A scraper can be used to remove difficult particles. Never strike the
cooking grid to remove residue. After the grill has cooled, follow up brushing
and/or scraping by cleaning the cooking grid with a damp, soft cloth or sponge
with a mild detergent or grill cleaner. Follow with a clean damp cloth to remove
any remaining detergent residue. At next use, allow cooking grid an additional 5
minutes of pre-heating to burn off any residual detergents or cleaners.
