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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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.

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.

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.

Using the Bun Warmer

Model GR20BW 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

armer should be

used to warm 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.

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!

Recipes

NOTE: For all recipes, please remember to place Drip Tray in front of the Grilling Machine

to catch drippings from the cooking process.

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 size 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 Grilling Machine and place the patties on the grill four 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.

George’s Sausage Texas Style

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-size 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 Grilling Machine for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties on the grill four 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 patties

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

George Foreman’s PowerBurger

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 Grilling Machine for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties on the grill four at a time. Close the Lid.

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

• Yield: Serves 4

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

Extension Feet

We've included the set of four (4) feet with this Grill 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 Grilling Machine 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.
