Site Selection and Installation  
! NOTE: 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.  
or injury to persons, always use a licensed  
electrician.  
Installation  
1. Select a suitable location away from puddles,  
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 flammable or other  
volatile materials in the direct area before grilling.  
WARNING: Ensure the power cord is not pinched  
or against a sharp edge. Ensure that the power  
cord is stored or secured to avoid tripping or  
snagging to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock  
or injury to persons.  
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.  
Construction and electrical outlet wiring must  
comply with local building codes and other  
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock and injury to persons.  
The dimensions of the electric grill are 24 inches (61  
cm) wide x 40 inches (101.6 cm) high x 18 inches  
(45.7 cm) deep (Figure 1).  
Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets or  
circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock

Advanced Features of the PowerChef® Control Panel  
Automatic Power Saver  
Voltage Compensation  
This feature activates immediately after a pre-programmed  
selection is finished cooking and “DONE” is shown on the  
display. The cooking system power will immediately shut off  
but the display will remain ON.  
The electric grill automatically adjusts the cook times based  
on any variance to input voltage. This insures food is grilled  
to the desired state.  
Key Lock  
Safety Power-off  
This feature is useful in preventing accidental changes to  
your cooking program by locking the control panel when in  
use. When this feature is used all control panel functions  
are disabled. To activate the key lock press the numbers in  
sequence 1,2,3 LOC will appear on the display screen. To  
deactivate the key lock press the numbers in sequence 1,2,3  
and ULOC will appear on the display screen.  
This feature activates if the unit has been accidentally left on  
after cooking. Four (4) hours after the last button has been  
touched on the control panel the power automatically shuts  
off to the entire unit.  
Sleep Mode  
When using the program mode and the On/Select button  
is not pressed after a stage of cooking the power will  
automatically reduce to the minimum one bar level after a  
short period of time to prevent the food from burning.  
To Cancel Preheat  
Your PowerChef® electric grill has an automatic eight (8)  
minute PREHEAT function. To cancel the PREHEAT function  
press the CANCEL button after the program has started. A  
full PREHEAT is recommended when the grill is cold but may  
not be required if your grill is still heated from previous use.

the back of the grill. Skillet should be placed so that the  
ridges of the Skillet fit between the top rails of the cooking  
grate, securing the Skillet in place (Figure 5).

Skillet Cooking Tips  
7. Cook foods until desired result is reached, repeat as  
required (once grill and Skillet is fully heated, it does not  
need to be preheated again).  
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.  
8. Press the OFF button to shut grill off.  
Suggested Procedure for Eggs  
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.  
1. Follow steps 1 through 5 above to preheat the Skillet for  
eight (8) minutes at full power.  
For additional flavouring, use pre-cook marinades.  
2. Grease the Skillet with one (1) tablespoon of vegetable  
based cooking oil.  
Allow foods to sear and seal their outer surfaces before  
attempting to move or lift. Food may separate or break  
otherwise.  
3. Place egg(s) on skillet - maximum two (2) eggs at a time.  
4. Cook until underside is crisp - approximately two (2)  
minutes.

electric grill before next use.  
Cooking Grid  
Drip Tray  
The cooking grid is permanently mounted into the body  
of the electric grill. Do not attempt to remove.  
CAUTION: To avoid burns, wait until tray and contents  
cool before removal.  
To clean;  
The Drip Tray is located under the cooking grid and is  
accessible from the back of your PowerChef® electric grill.  
1. Clean cooking surface with a damp, soft cloth or sponge  
with a mild detergent.  
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.  
2. Follow with a clean damp cloth to remove any remaining  
detergent residue.  
3. The Brush accessory (included with the TBQ-120-DLX  
model), a soft wire brush or scraper may be used to  
remove excess deposits. The ridges cut into the scraper  
side of the Brush accessory are designed to fit between  
the rungs of the cooking grid.  
To remove and clean the Drip Tray:  
1. Lift the handle of the Drip Tray until the bottom edge of  
the tray clears stop tabs on either side of the grill  
(Figure 10) and pull slightly forward.  
2. Place hands on either side of the Drip Tray and  
pull directly out the back of the electric grill until it is  
completely free of the unit.  
To clean under the cooking grid, remove the Drip Tray  
following steps as outlined above. The Brush accessory  
has the necessary profile to fit between the bottom of the  
grill assembly and the sheet metal of the Outlet accessory  
if installed. Any soft wire brush or scraper can be used to  
clean the underside of the cooking grid.  
WARNING: Drip Tray is heavy and may weigh even  
more if full. Use caution when removing from grill to avoid  
personal injury.  
WARNING: Never strike cooking grid to remove residue.  
3. Use a plastic scraper and/or paper towel to remove large  
build ups.  
4. To clean, use a damp, soft cloth or sponge with a mild  
detergent.

Care and Cleaning  
Stainless Steel Trim Surfaces (TBQ-120-DLX)  
Clean all stainless steel panels with a damp, soft cloth or  
sponge with a mild detergent. Follow with a clean damp  
cloth to remove any remaining detergent residue. Buff dry.  
! NOTE: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive scouring  
powders or abrasive cleaning pads as they may scratch.  
Painted Panels  
Clean all painted panels with a damp, soft cloth or sponge  
with a mild detergent. Follow with a clean damp cloth to any  
remaining detergent residue. Buff dry.  
Skillet (included with TBQ-120-DLX)  
Cleaning tips:  
After use, allow Skillet to cool to room temperature before  
attempting to remove or wash.  
Do not plunge into cold water immediately after use as  
thermal shock damage to the enamel finish may occur.  
Hand wash with hot soapy water, rinse with warm water  
and dry.  
If food residue remains, fill the pan with warm water  
and leave to soak for 15 - 20 minutes, then wash. For  
stubborn residues, nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes  
can be used. Do not use metallic pads or abrasive  
cleaners as these will damage the enamel.  
Dry thoroughly after washing. Do not drain dry or store  
while wet.  
An oily, slightly brown to black film called a Patina may  
build up on the cooking surface over time. Do not attempt  
to remove this as it is normal and improves the release of  
foods from the cooking surface.  
Never store Skillet outdoors. Store in a clean, dry place  
when not in use.  
Hot Dog Roller (included with TBQ-120-DLX)  
Cleaning tips:  
After use, allow Hot Dog Roller to cool to room  
temperature before attempting to wash.  
Hand wash with hot soapy water, rinse with warm water  
and towel dry.
