Additional Important Safeguards

1.CAUTION - HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.

2.All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner's Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

3.The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.

4.When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.

5.Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

6.This appliance generates steam—do not operate in open position.

7.If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug cord from outlet. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

8.Using pot holder, hold the top cover (Lid) open while placing or removing food on the cooking surface to prevent accidental closing and injury.

Polarized Plug

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 in 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.

Short Cord Instructions

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

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or 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, and (2) the longer 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 unintentionally.

Electric Power

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

How To Use George Foreman’s Lean Mean

Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

1.Before using the Grilling Machine for the first time, wipe the Grilling Plates with a damp cloth to remove all dust.

2.To preheat: Close the Lid and plug cord into a 120V AC outlet. The Power Light will go on indicating that the elements are heating. Allow Grilling Machine to preheat for 5 minutes.

3.Use a "pot holder" to carefully open the Lid.

4.Slide the Drip Tray under the front of the unit.

5.Carefully place the items to be cooked on the bottom cooking plate.

7.After the desired amount of time, the food should be done. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.

CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure the "Power Light" is off (not illuminated) before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.

8.Use a "pot holder" to carefully open the Lid.

9.Remove the food using the Plastic Spatula provided. Be sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils so as not to scratch the nonstick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can damage the coating on the cooking plates.
