IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

❑ Read all instructions.
❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❑ To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in

water or other liquid.

❑ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before

putting on or taking off parts.

❑ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.

❑ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

❑ Do not use outdoors.
❑ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
❑ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
❑ Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

❑ To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
❑ Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

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.

Extension Feet (not included with all models)

Some GR20 models come with a set of four (4)
extension feet, so that you can grill fajitas and taco
fillers—and then directly fill hard taco shells from the
grill. Simply put the taco shell into one of the drip trays,
placing the taco opening at the lip of the grill. Using the
spatula, rake the filling directly into the taco.

Top with your favorite veggies & salsa and enjoy!

Attaching Extension Feet

To put the extension feet onto the grill, follow these simple instructions:
Note: The grill must be unplugged and clean (no food inside) when

attaching the feet. Do not attempt to attach the feet while the product is
plugged into a 120V socket and in use.

Turn the grill over so that all four legs are in the air. Place one foot at a
time on the leg and push downwards until the foot is secure in place. After
all four feet are attached, turn the grill over so that it is standing upright.
Make certain that the grill is stable and all four legs are even. There
shouldn't be any wobbling! If there is wobbling, adjust the foot in question,
so that it is even with the others.

Note: Never use this product with only a partial set of feet. It is not
intended for use with less than all four feet at one time.

To Detach the Feet

After use, unplug the unit and wait until it is cooled down and the grilling
plates are cleaned. When you have established that the unit is unplugged,
cooled down and cleaned, simply turn it over and pull off the feet. When
all four feet are removed, turn the unit back over to an upright position.

User Maintenance Instructions

Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow your grill to cool thoroughly before

cleaning.

1. Before cleaning, unplug the grill from the wall outlet and allow to cool.

2. Inside cleaning: Place the drip tray under the front of the grill. Using the
specially designed spatula, scrape off any excess fat and food particles.
Wipe the plates with absorbent paper towel or a sponge. Run off will drip
into the drip tray.

3. Stubborn build-up: Use a non-metallic scrubbing pad to clean the plates.

4. Empty the drip tray and clean with warm soapy water. Wipe dry.

5. Outside cleaning: Wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft,
dry cloth.

6. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part of
the grill.

7. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

8. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be
performed by a qualified electrician.

9. Make sure to hold the top cover (lid) by hand while cleaning to prevent
accidental closing and injury.

The Champ’s Sausage without Guilt

You can start your day with a sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes good, but
is also good for you. This moist, flavorful sausage, served with a country-style
biscuit, makes the complete breakfast. Choose ground turkey breast, which is
lower in fat than ground turkey containing dark meat and skin. Turkey, especially
the light meat, is a good source of niacin, which is an important B vitamin
needed to maintain a healthy nervous system.

1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely snipped dried apples or
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh red Delicious apple
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tbsp. snipped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. lean ground turkey breast

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, dried or fresh
apples, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, sage, nutmeg, black pepper and cayenne
pepper. Add the ground turkey and mix well.

• Shape the mixture into eight or nine 2-inch wide patties.

• Preheat the grill and place the patties two at a time. Close the lid. Cook for
5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, turning
once or twice.

Yield: 8 - 9 patties
This recipe is from "The Healthy Gourmet" (Clarkson Potter) by Cherie Calbom.

Please note: The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc. should
be cooked to an internal temperature of 145˚F (63˚C). Pork should be cooked to an
internal temperature of 160˚F (71˚C) and poultry products should be cooked to an
internal temperature of 170˚F (77˚C) - 180˚F (82˚C) to be sure any harmful bacteria
has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked
to an internal temperature of 165˚F (73˚C).

George Foreman® Sausage Texas Style

George Foreman® Power Burger

A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages are
great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and egg scramble. Buy 90%
lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety percent lean beef has 9 grams
of fat with 4 of those grams being saturated fat; whereas 73% lean beef has
18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams being saturated.

1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup diced green chili peppers
1 clove (large) garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. lean ground beef

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, bread crumbs,
green chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder, salt and cayenne
pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well.

• Shape the mixture into eight 3-inch wide patties.

• Preheat the grill for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties two at a time.

• Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the
juices run clear, turning once or twice.

Yield: 8 patties

This recipe is from "The Healthy Gourmet" (Clarkson Potter) by Cherie Calbom.

A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat cousin!
It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat in a typical
burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up for it with
plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegetables have been
added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other grains or cereal.
In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically contain one less fat gram
than regular or even reduced-calorie buns.

If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese is 1 gram lower
in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8 grams of fat versus
9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss
contain half the fat with 4 grams per ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per
tablespoon versus a whopping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.

Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded
cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach.

1/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, green onions, zucchini,
parsley (can be sautéed)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3/4 lb. lean ground beef

• In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread crumbs.
Add the ground beef and mix well.

• Shape the mixture into four 4-inch wide patties.

• Preheat the grill for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties on the grill two
at a time.

• Close the lid and cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and
the juices run clear, turning once.

Yield: Serves 4
