Temperature Display will stay illuminated as a reminder that the power is still
on. If the Temperature Display is still flashing, the set temperature has not yet
been reached. When the set temperature is reached the unit will again beep 4
times and the temperature display will remain on.

Using the Bun Warmer
This model comes equipped with a Bun Warmer. You can use this feature
to warm various kinds of bread products (hamburger buns, breakfast biscuits, English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and mini croissants). For example, if you are cooking hamburgers, you can place your
hamburger buns inside the Bun Warmer to warm them while you cook
the hamburgers! REMEMBER: The Bun W
bread products only. It will not cook or grill any item. It is not intended
for defrosting. The Bun Warmer cannot hold very thick bread products. If
a bread product is too thick, you may have to cut it (butterfly) to fit.
1. Bun Warmer Cover (P/N 22675C)
2. Lid Latch (P/N 22676C)
To use the Bun Warmer:
1. Lift up the Lid Latch (where it says "LIFT
TO OPEN").
2. Place the bread product inside the Bun Warmer.
3. When bread is in place, close the Lid by lifting up on the Latch, lower-
ing the Lid, and latching it into place. NEVER FORCE THE LID CLOSED.
Press gently to close Lid.
4. Allow 2-3 minutes after the machine has warmed up to complete
heating. If you are placing bread products in the Bun Warmer that
have been refrigerated, they will take longer to warm up.
CAUTION: The Bun Warmer does not have a separate operation switch.
If you want to warm some bread, but do not want to cook anything on
the grill, please be aware that the grill will be on and will become very
hot.
WARNING: Do not keep cooked food (such as meat, vegetables, potatoes, etc.) warm in the Bun Warmer! THE BUN WARMER IS FOR BREAD
PRODUCTS ONLY!

and dry thoroughly. Reinstall the Grilling Plates, making sure they are
securely attached to the appliance. The removable Grilling Plates are

Response
It is preferable that food be defrosted before
placing on the George Foreman Grill. Make
sure that the Grill is preheated, see preheat
instructions, before placing food on the grilling
plate.
Yes. In order to protect the non-stick surface
use wooden skewers. We recommend that
you soak the skewers first in water for about
20 minutes. This will keep the skewers from
burning.
After cleaning your George Foreman Grill
according to the "User Maintenance
Instructions" make a paste of baking soda and
water and spread on the surface of the Grill.
Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then wipe
away with a damp sponge or cloth.
Preheat your Grill for 5-minutes. Place the hot
dogs lengthwise on the Grill. Close the Lid and
cook for 2-1/2 minutes or until desired browning is achieved.
Yes, self-browning hash browns can be prepared by preheating the Grill for 5 minutes.
Add hash browns onto the Grill surface, close
the Lid, and cook for approximately half the
time stated on the package for oven preparation.
6. Any other cooking sugges-
tions?
Fresh peppers can be grilled for 2-3 minutes
for skinning purposes.
