SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)

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.

GROUNDED PLUG (CANADA)

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:
1) The marked electrical rating of the 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 cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop 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.

• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/georgeforeman to register your warranty.

PREHEATING THE GRILL

• Slide drip tray under front of grill.

• Allow grill to preheat 3 minutes before grilling. When desired temperature is reached, the green "ready" indicator light turns on.

GRILLING

• Using a pot holder, carefully open the lid.

Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on nonstick surface. Chemicals that allow spray to come out of a can build up on surface of grill plates and reduce their efficiency.

- Carefully place foods to be cooked on lower grilling plate. Close lid.

Note: Do not overload grill.

- Close cover and allow food to cook for desired time. (See cooking chart.)

Note: Always use heatproof plastic, nylon or wood utensils to avoid scratching nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs, forks or knives.

• When finished cooking, unplug the appliance.
• Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and dry the drip tray after each use. It can also be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

USING ADJUSTABLE COOKING HEIGHT

This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be about the same.

SUGGESTED COOKING CHART

The cooking times and temperatures in the below chart are meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will depend upon the food thickness and cut being used. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness by inserting the thermometer into the thickest portion of the meat. For reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook food to a higher temperature.
