Congratulations on the purchase of your George Foreman® Grill. Each unit is manufactured
to ensure safety and reliability. Before using the appliance for the rst time, please read
the instruction book carefully and keep it for future reference. Pass it on if you pass on the
appliance.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed.

BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL

• Remove any packaging and labels from the appliance.

• Wipe the exterior and cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

• Place the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated area, with the
lid closed.

CAUTION: Do not use this appliance near or below any curtains or other combustible
materials.

• Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn the power on. The power light
will glow.

• When the grill reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will glow.
It will then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.

NOTE: When using your grill for the first time, the unit may emit a fine smoke vapour
and scent. This is normal and is caused by the first heating of the new elements and
new cooking plates.

• Switch the power off at the wall power outlet, allow the grill to cool then wipe
over the cooking plates once again using a damp cloth.

4

FITTING THE REMOVABLE PLATES

This grill has two removable plates. Fit one grill plate at a time.

NOTE: This appliance must always be used with two grill plates securely attached.

• Before handling, ensure the grill plates are cool and safe to touch.

• Align the tabs of each grill plate with slots near the hinge side of the grill (see diagram).

• Press down on the other edge of the plate (handle side) to lock it into place.

• To remove the plates, press the release button on the side of the grill and lift away from
the element. Note that there is one button for the upper grill plate and one button for the
lower grill plate.

CAUTION: Always unplug from the wall power outlet and ensure the grill is completely
cool before attaching or removing plates.

NOTE: When the upper and lower plates make contact, the coating may show slight
signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic and will not affect the operation of the grill.

CONDITION THE COOKING PLATES

NOTE: Conditioning the cooking plates will help prolong the life of the non-stick
coating.

• Lift the lid and wipe the upper and lower cooking plates lightly with cooking oil.

• Switch the power on at the wall power outlet. The power light will illuminate.
Allow the thermostat light to cycle on and off at least 2 times.

• Switch the power off at the wall power outlet, remove the plug and allow the grill
to cool.

• Wipe off any excess oil with a dry paper towel and close the lid.

USING YOUR GRILL

• Place the grill on a at, level, heat resistant surface, leaving enough space around all
sides to allow heat to ow without damage to cabinets, walls and overhanging curtains.

• Ensure that the upper and lower grill plates have been securely tted onto the grill.
(Refer to section: FITTING THE REMOVABLE PLATES).

• Place the drip tray under the front of the grill.

• Using the handle, close the lid.

• Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn the power on. The power light will
illuminate.

• The green thermostat light will illuminate when the grill reaches operating temperature.

NOTE: The thermostat light will cycle on and off during cooking as the grill maintains
temperature.

• Using the handle, lift the lid and carefully place items to be cooked onto the bottom
cooking plate.

5

• Close the lid, allowing the grill to begin cooking from both sides at once.
The grill is designed with a oating hinge to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods
allowing even cooking.

• The grill plates should be parallel to avoid uneven cooking.

NOTE: Normal cooking times are significantly reduced as the grill cooks from both sides
at once. As a rule of thumb, cooking times are generally halved when compared to
traditional ‘one side at a time’ grilling.

CAUTION: Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

• Monitor food whilst cooking to ensure food is fully cooked and does not burn.

• When nished cooking switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the plug.

• Using an oven mitt or tea towel, carefully open the lid.

• Remove food using a non-metallic utensil.

NOTE: Be sure to always use either silicone, plastic or wooden utensils so as not to
scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can
damage the coating of the cooking plates.

• Allow the grill to cool completely.

CAUTION: Be sure the drip tray contents have cooled before removing drip tray.

• Once cool, the drip tray may be removed and emptied and the grill can be cleaned.

NOTE: Where the upper and lower 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.

CLEANING

CAUTION: Always unplug from the wall power outlet and allow the grill to cool completely
before cleaning. Do not immerse the grill, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

• Before cleaning, switch off the power and remove the plug from the wall power outlet.

CAUTION: Do not use scouring pads, scrapers, or metal objects to clean the cooking plates.
They will damage the surface.

• When cleaning up after grilling, with the drip tray placed at the front of the grill, use a non­metallic utensil to scrape off any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates.

CAUTION: Take extra care when cleaning the cooking plates, making sure the grill lid
does not close accidently and cause injury. Hold the grill open using the handle when
cleaning the cooking plates.

• Wipe plates with a damp cloth and a little detergent to remove any grease or char marks.

• Empty the plastic drip tray. Hand wash in warm, soapy water or alternatively place in the
dishwasher on the top shelf.
