Frequently Asked Questions - GSF026BQVC GEORGE FOREMAN

What type of oil should I use?

Use oils with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Avoid olive oil or butter.

How do I clean the deep fryer?

Allow oil to cool completely. Remove the oil container and basket; they are dishwasher safe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

What is the maximum oil level?

Do not fill beyond the MAX fill line inside the oil container to prevent overflow.

Can I fry frozen foods?

Yes, but shake off excess ice before frying. Frozen foods may lower oil temperature, so fry in small batches.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the temperature dial to your desired setting. The indicator light will turn off when the oil reaches that temperature.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The fryer automatically shuts off if it overheats or after a set time, preventing accidents.

How long does it take to heat up?

Typically 5-10 minutes depending on oil amount and desired temperature.

Is the basket dishwasher safe?

Yes, the basket and oil container are dishwasher safe. Dry thoroughly before reuse.

Can I reuse the oil?

Yes, strain oil after each use and store in a sealed container. Replace when it becomes dark or smelly.

What should I do if the fryer stops working?

Check the power cord and outlet. Ensure the auto shut-off hasn't tripped. If issues persist, consult the manual or contact customer support.

THE LEAN MEAN SPIN FRYING MACHINE™

Congratulations on your purchase of the new George Forema® Lean Mean™ Fryer!

The Lean Mean™ Fryer features our new, patented Smart Spin® technology that knocks out up to 55%* of fat absorbed during frying. During a special SPIN cycle that follows cooking, your Lean Mean® Fryer uses centrifugal force to literally spin the added fat and oil off your food. The result is great-tasting, crisp fried foods that please the palate and let you enjoy all the fried foods you love with none of the guilt. That's the George Foreman® commitment!

Results you can see!

The Lean Mean™ Fryer underwent independent 3rd party laboratory testing in order to support the claims being made. Fat content was measured in uncooked food, in food prepared using typical deep frying methods, and then with the Lean Mean™ Fryer. In both the deep frying and Lean Mean™ frying process, food was allowed to rest on a paper towel for two minutes before fat content was measured. As such, the claimed fat reduction percentages below are independent of any standard paper towel oil absorption.

Fat Reduction Values:

• Onion Rings: up to 38%* less fat
• French Fries: up to 43%* less fat
- Breaded Chicken: up to 55%* less fat

Prepackaged foods selected were the top-selling brands in each category.

*Percentage of fat reduction refers only to the percentage of fat absorbed during frying, in comparison to conventional deep fat fryers. This product does not remove the original fat present in food items prior to frying. Results are based on independent laboratory testing, using a 2 minute spin cycle. Results are not typical and may vary based on food type and brand. Average reduction of absorbed fat of tested food items is 38% . Fried foods should be eaten in moderation and only as part of a well-balanced diet. Consult your physician or nutritionist for dietary advice.

Note: Use the graphics on the front of the appliance and the charts and recipes found in the Use & Care as a guide to determine temperature and amounts of foods to be cooked in each batch.

Close-up of a hand using a tool to press or adjust a mechanical component (no visible text or symbols)

1. When the spinning is complete, press the OPEN button to open the fryer and

carefully remove the basket and turn the food out onto a paper towel lined plate to drain or use tongs to take the food from the basket to a serving plate.

1. Replace the basket in the appliance. Close the lid and lower the basket. Allow the fryer to regain the set temperature (about 1 minute) before frying another batch of food.
2. Repeat this process as necessary to cook additional food.
3. When cooking is complete, set dial on fryer to 0 and unplug the appliance.

hELPFUL hINTS ABOUT YOUR FRYER

• Preheat oil before first frying. Also, allow the oil to return to preset temperature before cooking another batch of food. The green light will turn on when the selected temperature has been reached.
• Never overfill the fryer. There must be room for the hot oil to rise when food has been added.
• Be sure the foods to be cooked are fully covered by the oil.

• If food is cooking too quickly on the outside before the center can be fully cooked:

• Check the temperature of the oil with a deep frying thermometer and check the freshness of the oil. It may be time to discard oil and start fresh.

• Lower the temperature on the fryer.

• Season fried foods after frying when they are still hot and fresh from the fryer.

• High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil. Always strain cooled used oil through a cheese cloth or paper towel lined strainer after each use.
• To preserve the life of your oil, store used oil tightly sealed in a cool dark place between usages. On average, oil can be reused about 4 to 6 times before discarding.
• Oil should be discarded after frying if you notice:

• Extreme smoking at normal frying temperatures

• Very darkened oil
- Rancid smelling oil
• Excessive foaming around food being fried

- Dry foods fry best. Dry foods with a paper towel. Make sure there are no ice crystals on frozen foods to be fried.

• Make sure to remove excess breading and batter before placing food in hot oil.
• Keep foods to a uniform size and thickness.
• For better fresh French fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 12 hour before frying. Drain well and dry thoroughly before frying. Fry in small batches and allow temperature of oil to recover before frying another batch.
• Preheating the basket helps to prevent foods from sticking to the basket.

CARE AND CLEANING

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

Important: Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before discarding the oil and cleaning.

STORING OIL

Note: You do not have to change the oil after each use. Oil can be reused until it gets dark or there is visible debris (such as batter or bits of food) in it.

1. Unplug unit from wall outlet.
2. Remove magnetic end of power cord from the unit socket.
3. Be sure the oil is completely cool before removing the cooking pot.
4. Store the cooled oil in its original container.

CLEANING

Cooking Pot and Frying Basket

1. Wash frying basket in the dishwasher, or wash by hand with a nonabrasive liquid cleanser using a nylon pad to remove any remaining oil.

2. Wash cooking pot by hand with a nonabrasive liquid cleanser using a sponge or nylon pad to remove remaining oil.

3. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, coarse cleansers, or metal pads as they may damage the nonstick coated surface.

4. Be careful not to bang the pot as any dents can affect future performance.

Note: To remove tough stains or dried-on foods stuck to the surface of the cooking pot, we recommend a mild cleanser such as soft scrub for easier removal.

1. After washing, dry the cooking pot, frying basket and handle thoroughly.
   Note: Over time and repeated use, there may be some fat buildup in the pot and on the basket. This is normal.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

Important: Do not immerse appliance in water or any other liquid.

Wipe exterior surfaces clean with a damp sponge or cloth and liquid detergent.

HEATING ELEMENT

Important: Do not immerse heating element assembly in water or any other liquid. In addition, take care not to damage thin wires on heating element; if these become damaged or broken, unit must be replaced.
