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 t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied 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 re 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 is provided to

reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Extension cords are available and may be

used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If an 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;

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord; and

3) The cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter top or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please
contact the warranty department listed in these
instructions.

cooking chart).

Contact grill plates cook
food from both sides, so
there is no need to ip food
halfway through cooking.

When nished cooking,
unplug the appliance.

FLOATING HINGE

• Hinge adjusts backwards and forwards, left and right
to make full contact for uneven thicknesses and thicker
cuts of meat.

Tips

• To avoid damaging the nonstick surface, do not use aerosol nonstick spray,
sharp utensils or cut food on the cooking surface of the unit. Use silicone, heat­resistant rubber or wooden utensils.

Caution

• Because some countertop nishes are more affected by heat than others, use
care not to place grill on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.

• Grill surface is hot during use.

• Do not use the grill without the drip tray or base.

The GRS6090B smokeless grill produces up to 85% less smoke than the George
Foreman model RPGD3994 when grilling 1/4 lb. beef burgers (20% fat, 80% lean)
with clean grill plates and drip trays.

COOKING GUIDE

The following chart is meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will depend
on the thickness of the food. To be sure your food is cooked, USDA recommends using
a meat thermometer to test for doneness. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest
part of the meat until the temperature stabilizes. For best results, use boneless proteins.

3. Set the pot over a medium high heat burner. Cook for about 20 minutes.

4. Preheat the grill to 425F. Place the brats on the grill while keeping the
onions and beer on low heat on the stove.

5. Grill the brats for about 5 minutes until a thermometer inserted in the
thickest part registers 170F or above.

6. Once brats are cooked put them in a shallow pan then carefully pour the
beer and onions over the top.

7. Serve with buns and use onions as garnish

BACON CHEDDAR CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1 burger

Directions:

1. Par-cook the bacon: Add the bacon to a skillet on the stove over medium
heat. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the bacon begins to render, but is not
totally crispy. The goal is to par-cook the bacon since it’ll nish cooking in
the stuffed burger patties. Remove from heat. Once cool enough to handle
nely chop.

2. Form the burger patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion,
garlic, bacon, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Using
your hands, combine the mixture until the bacon and cheese are evenly
dispersed. Form 4 equally sized patties by hand or using a burger press.

3. Preheat the grill to the highest setting. Once heated, place the burgers on
the grill. Flip halfway through cooking about 4 minutes.

4. Toast the bun then top with burger and toppings of your choice.

Ingredients:

8 slices bacon
½ onion diced
2 tsp minced garlic
1 lb ground beef
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
