Frequently Asked Questions - GRP3102SBB GEORGE FOREMAN

How do I attach the grill plates?

Ensure the appliance is cool. Securely attach the top and bottom grill plates using the release handles on each side of the plates. For grilling, use the bar at the rear to lift the back of the bottom plate for sloped cooking.

How do I preheat the grill?

Close the lid, plug in the grill, and set the variable temperature control to your desired setting. Set the timer between 7-10 minutes. The power light (red) will come on; when the ready light (green) turns on, the grill is preheated.

Can I use metal utensils on the nonstick surface?

No, never use metal utensils as they can scratch the nonstick coating. Use only heatproof plastic, nylon, or wood utensils.

How do I clean the grill plates?

Allow the grill to cool completely, then unplug. Place the drip tray under the front, scrape off excess fat with a plastic spatula, and wipe plates with a warm soapy sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use metallic scrubbing pads.

What does the timer do?

The 30-minute timer counts down the cooking time. When it reaches zero, the power and ready lights turn off, indicating the grill has stopped heating. Always turn the dial past 10 first, then back to your desired time.

Why is the green ready light not turning on?

The green light indicates the grill has reached the set temperature. If it doesn't turn on, check that the grill is plugged in, the temperature dial is set, and the timer is set. If it still fails, the grill may need service.

Can I use the grill without the drip tray?

No, always use the drip tray to collect excess fat and drippings. It should be placed under the front sloped section of the bottom plate before cooking.

How do I adjust the cooking angle?

Use the adjustable grill angle bar at the back. Lift it up (locked) for sloped cooking to let fat drip away, or push it down (unlocked) for level cooking, such as when using the bake plate.

What is the warranty coverage?

The grill comes with a 3-year limited warranty covering defects in material or workmanship. It does not cover commercial use, misuse, or modifications. For service, call 1-800-231-9786.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, with caution. Use a longer detachable cord or extension cord with a rating at least as great as the appliance's (120V). Arrange it so it doesn't drape over countertops or where children can pull on it.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

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 (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel. In Latin America, by an authorized service center.
