4
Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord
(3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug
should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace
the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. This is the purpose of the grounding pin as part of the
3-prong plug.
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. Since
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding type 3 wire cord.
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish
of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-
PLASTIC coasters or place-mats 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.
Temperature Control Probe
Use only the Temperature Control Probe (P/N 21205) supplied with
this product. Using any other type of Temperature Control Probe
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

The Lid
The Lid is designed to be loose fitting so steam can escape
during cooking. Lift and lower Lid with its Handle using
extreme caution; keep hands and face away from escaping
steam. For safety, the Lid should never be used while preheating.
CAUTION! THE LID IS MADE OF GLASS. HANDLE
WITH CARE.
Cooking Tools
Do not use sharp-edged tools such as forks, knives, beaters,
metal spatulas, etc., as they will scratch the non-stick cooking surface and damage the Party Time Grill!™Pan surface.
Always use non-stick spatulas and tongs.
The Party Time Grill!™Pan
The Cooking Pan is designed to saute, dry fry and grill. It is
made with a non-stick surface that is fully immersible which
makes cooking and clean-up easy! Always wait until the Pan
is completely cool before removing it from its base for cleaning.
The Fusion Cup
The die cast, non-stick coated cup with the fluted edge is
called the Fusion Cup. It serves several purposes with this grill.
1. It should always be inserted during operation.
2. It is non-stick coated and is top rack dishwasher safe.
3. The fluted lip can serve as the resting point for the
Skewer’s tips.
4. You can put infusion waters, flavorings, wine, marinades
and dipping sauces into the Fusion cup. Dipping sauces
and marinades should be added near the end of the
grilling time, so they don’t overheat and caramelize, affecting their flavor.
5. The Fusion Cup gets hot...remove it with caution
using a pot holder or mitt.

Introduction
Congratulations on owning the George Foreman™Party Time
Grill!™.
The Party Time Grill!™Pan's temperature is thermostatically
controlled and adjustable from “Warm” to 440°F. Fast heat
recovery, so necessary for precise cooking, is achieved with
its 1200 watts of power. The interior is coated with a nonstick coating, enabling the food to be properly cooked
without sticking.
The George Foreman™Party Time Grill!™has a sloped grill
pan so fats and extra juices roll down and away into the separate grease tray. The ridges which circle around the Fusion
Grill Pan hold foods in place.
The Party Time Grill!™comes with 6 individually color-coded
Skewers so everyone has their own color and can identify
which kabob is theirs. The Skewers should be hand washed
as they are very thin and will fall through the cutlery basket in
the dishwasher.
DO NOT PUT THE SKEWERS INTO THE DISHWASHER.

Control Socket.
10
STEP 4: Operating the Appliance
WARNING: At all times during and after cooking, make
sure the appliance is in a stable position, to reduce the
risk of spilling hot contents.
Before plugging in the appliance, make sure the Party Time
Grill!™Pan and Temperature Control Probe are securely
attached to the appliance, and the Temperature Dial on the
Temperature Control is OFF.
Plug the cord into a standard 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
The temperature of the Grill Pan is controlled by turning the
dial of the Temperature Control Probe. The Temperature
Control Probe can provide a maximum temperature of 440°F.
To preheat the Pan, remove the lid and set the Temperature
Dial to the desired temperature by aligning the desired temperature with the Indicator Light on the body of the control.
The Indicator Light will go on. When the Indicator Light goes
off, the selected temperature has been reached.
WARNING: Do not place your hands under the Housing
Base during use.
NOTE: During cooking, the Indicator Light will cycle on
and off, indicating that the Temperature Control Probe
is maintaining the selected temperature.
Creaking noise may occur during cooking. This is normal.
The noise results from the thermal expansion of the Party
Time Grill!™Pan as it heats.
11
Operating the Appliance (continued)
When cooking food in the Grill Pan, use a long plastic spatula, or similar utensils.
CAUTION: Do not use metal or sharp-edged utensils,
as these can damage the non-stick surface of the
Grill Pan. Do not leave any plastic utensils on the
Grill Pan surface while it is plugged in or hot.
When you have finished cooking, turn the Temperature Dial to
the OFF position and unplug the cord from the wall outlet. Do
not touch hot surfaces! Use caution when serving hot foods.

Cooking Methods
When using your Party Time Grill!™make sure that the Grease
Tray is in place to catch any excess run-off grease or liquid.
PAN-BROIL
Cooking food over high heat in an open skillet using little
or no fat.
Add little or no oil to Pan and preheat to desired temperature
(generally 390°F). Place food on hot Party Time Grill!
™
Pan.
Brown, turning often.
DRY FRY
Using high heat (440°F) for the first few minutes, you can
“crisp” the exterior of the food. Lower the temperature to
375°F, turning the food stir-fry style with a spatula or
with tongs.
BASTING
You can baste meat, chicken, fish and vegetables while they
are cooking on the Party Time Grill!
™
. Using a basting brush,
coat the meat while it is in the Party Time Grill!
™
Pan. Check
the temperature setting, so that it is not too hot. If the marinade begins to “burn” or “brown” on the pan surface, it is
caramelizing — the pan is too hot. Reduce the temperature
by 25-50°F.
Using either plain water or infusion water in the Fusion Cup,
with the Lid in place will result in moist, juicy foods.
