IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.

When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, control probe, or appliance in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer support or call the appropriate toll-free number in this manual.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over edge of table or counter.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Always attach control probe to appliance first, then plug cord in the wall outlet. To disconnect, adjust the heat setting dial to the O position (Off), then remove plug from wall outlet.
Be sure the nonstick grill plate, drip tray, and probe are assembled to the base properly (see HOW TO USE).
Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

GROUNDED PLUG

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

HOW TO USE

This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED

Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the power plug.
Remove and save literature.
Please visit www.prodprotect.com/georgeforeman to register your warranty.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Wash grill plate, drip tray, and base in warm water and dish soap. Dry thoroughly. Do not get the probe wet.
Note: When using the grill for the first time, you may notice smoke or a slight odor during the first few minutes if there is still oil on the plates from the manufacturing process. This is normal.
Caution: Control probe must always be completely dry before use.
Place drip tray into base. (A)
Fit the grill plate onto the base. It only fits with the curved end of the grill plate over the curved
indentation of the base. (B)

TO OPERATE

Insert control probe into probe socket (C) and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.
Turn the heat setting to the desired setting. See Cooking Guide for suggestions. The signal light will come on to indicate the unit is heating.
When the signal light goes out, the unit is ready.
Signal light will cycle on and off during cooking as the unit operates to maintain the desired temperature.

Tips

To avoid damaging the nonstick surface, do not use aerosol nonstick spray, sharp utensils or cut food on the cooking surface of the unit. Use silicone, heat resistant rubber or wooden utensils.

Caution

Because some countertop finishes are more affected by heat than others, use care not to place grill on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
Grill surface is hot during use.
Do not use the grill without the drip tray or base.

COOKING GUIDE

The following chart is meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the food. To be sure your food is cooked, USDA recommends using a meat thermometer to test for doneness. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat until the temperature stabilizes.

FOOD| SETTING
(preheat)| TIME (minutes)| NOTES
---|---|---|---
Bratwursts (brats)| High| 25-30 minutes| This is the cook time for raw brats. If you first boil the brats in water (or beer) for 12 minutes, you can reduce the grill time to 5-10 minutes.
Hamburgers (4 oz)- cooked to 140F| High| 6-12 minutes| Time varies due to thickness of the hamburger and your preferred level of doneness.
Steaks (12 oz)| High| 8-15 minutes| Time varies due to the

thickness of the steak and your preferred level of doneness.

(zucchini, yellow squash, red onions, and bell peppers)

| Medium or High| 6-12 minutes| Time varies due to thickness of the vegetable slices.
Warming

hamburger or hotdog buns

| Low or Medium| 4-6 minutes| Open and flatten buns. Turn to warm both sides halfway through the time.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution: To avoid accidental electric shock and burns, unplug from outlet before cleaning, allow your grill to cool completely.

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Unplug, remove control probe and allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
Wipe control probe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse control probe in water.
Remove grill plate. Lift out and empty drip tray. Wash the base in warm water with dish soap. Drip tray and grill are dishwasher-safe (D) or can be hand washed. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the unit in water unless control probe has been removed.
Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface as they may damage the nonstick coating. To remove cooked-on food, use a plastic bristle brush or nylon mesh pad.
