Frequently Asked Questions - 25800-56 GEORGE FOREMAN

How to clean the plates of the George Foreman 25800-56 grill?

You can clean the plates hot or cold. When hot, unplug the appliance and wipe the plates with a folded paper towel or a damp cloth while supporting the top plate. When cold, use a damp cloth or sponge; for stubborn stains, add a few drops of cooking oil on a paper towel. Never use abrasive or metal products.

How to tilt the grill to drain fat?

To tilt the grill, deploy the foot located under the appliance downward. This allows fats and cooking juices to flow into the drip tray. For flat use (paninis, sandwiches), fold the foot back.

What foods can be cooked on this grill?

This grill is suitable for meat (steaks, chicken, chops, sausages), fish (salmon, shrimp, tuna), vegetables (bell peppers, eggplants, zucchini) and others (halloumi). Consult the cooking time chart in the manual.

How do I know when the grill is ready to cook?

Plug in the appliance and set the switch to I. The red power light turns on. The green thermostat light turns on and then goes out when the temperature is reached. Wait for the green light to go out before starting to cook.

Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick plates?

No, do not use anything metal or sharp as it may damage the non-stick coating. Prefer wooden or plastic spatulas or tongs.

The grill smokes during first use, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal. A little smoke may occur during first use due to burning off manufacturing residues. It will disappear quickly.

How to store the grill to save space?

Lower the flap element, wrap the cord around the storage on the foot, then store the grill in a vertical position.

Can the drip tray go in the dishwasher?

Yes, the drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher, preferably on the top rack. You can also wash it by hand in warm soapy water.

Never immerse the appliance in water. Supervise children under 8. Do not use with an external timer. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by a professional. Do not use near water (bathtub, shower).

Add 2 to 3 minutes for seafood and 3 to 6 minutes for meat and poultry compared to the time indicated for fresh foods, depending on thickness. Always check doneness before serving.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.
• Your grill may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.

TILTING/LEVELLLING THE GRILL

You can tilt your grill so that fat and juices run into the drip tray when cooking things like burgers, meat, etc. Alternatively, you can use your grill level for cooking things like panini, sandwiches, etc. To tilt your grill extend the foot upwards below your grill (FIG A). Fold the foot flat again to level your grill.

USING YOUR GRILL

• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

• Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of your grill. Slide the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during cooking.

• Put the plug into the power socket. Move the switch to I. The power light will come on.

• The thermostat light will come on, then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
• Wait till the light goes out before cooking.
• Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
• Don't use anything metal or sharp, you'll damage the non-stick surfaces.
• Close the grill.
• Wait till the food has cooked.
• Check it's cooked. If you're in doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.
• The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
• The grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

General cleaning

1. Wipe the outside surfaces of the appliance with a clean damp cloth.
2. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.

• Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaners, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
• Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

- Wear appropriate protection such as a oven gloves or similar, and use extreme care while wiping the hot plates (note that oven gloves are not shown in figure B for clarity).

1. Unplug your grill.
2. Using a piece of folded kitchen paper or damp cloth, wipe the plates in one continuous motion from the back to the front. Always support the top plate when wiping either the top or the bottom plate (Fig. B) to avoid the unit tipping over.

When the plates are cold

1. Unplug your grill and let it cool completely.
2. Wipe the plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
