Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate
electrical circuit from other appliances.

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the
counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters
or placemats 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.

Locking Hinge G + Broiling Chart
The G + Broil locked hinge position is so versatile! You can melt cheese on top
of your grilled hamburger in 30 seconds or on top of a deli sandwich in 2-3 minutes. Use the G + Broil feature to cook most frozen convenience foods such as
mini pizzas, French bread pizza, fish sticks, chicken tenders, Hot Pockets®, Lean

about the same time as indicated on the package directions for conventional
ovens. The G + Broil will also cook delicate flaky fish in minutes. Place the fish
skin side down if possible.

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.
As stated in the manual, the Power Light goes
ON to indicate when the Grill's elements are
heating. The Power Light goes OFF when the
proper temperature has been reached. The
thermostat will cycle ON & OFF throughout the
cooking process to maintain proper temperature.
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.
Fresh peppers can be grilled for 5-7 minutes
for skinning purposes.
Grilled cheese sandwiches can also be
cooked on your George Foreman Grill.
