Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Polarized Plug
If 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.

How To Use George Foreman’s Lean Mean
Fat Reducing Grilling Machine
1. Before using the Grilling Machine for the first time, wipe the Grilling Plates and Sauté Plate with a damp cloth to remove all dust. Make sure both Grilling Plates are firmly attached to the appliance.
Make sure that BOTH Release Handles of the Grilling Plates are properly latched and secured on the Grilling Machine Body before use.
2. Attach the Grilling Plates or Sauté Pan: The GRP100 has 3 Plates—1 Lower Grilling Plate, 1 Upper Grilling Plate and 1 Sauté Plate. Securely attach the Plates in the appropriate spot using the Release Handles on each side of the Plates. The Sauté Plate and Lower Grilling Plate should only be attached to the lower base of the appliance. The Upper Grilling Plate should only be attached to the upper base of the appliance. Use the Plate Position Lock Lever in either DOWN, locked position or UP, unlocked position*. The down locked position is for sloped cooking and grilling. The up, unlocked position is for level cooking of food, sautéing, griddling or baking. * Refer to page 11 for illustration of grilling positions.
Note: When attaching the Plates, carefully and securely attach each into the appliance using the Release Handles on the Plates only when plates are cool.
3. Always use a pot holder to carefully open and close the Lid.
4. Slide the liquid-catching Drip Tray under the front of the unit .
NOTE: To set the timer for less than 10 minutes, turn to 10 and then turn back to the appropriate amount of time.
5. To Preheat: Close the Lid and plug the cord into a 120V AC outlet. Turn the Adjustable Temperature Control to High temperature. Turn the timer to 5 minutes. The Power Light (red) will illuminate. See the Suggested Cooking Chart for specific temperature settings. When the appliance is preheated, the Indicator Light (green) will come on. Note: When the correct temperature is reached for preheating, both the Power Light (red) and the Indicator Light (green) will illuminate. If the Timer elapses to Zero(0) both the Power and Indicator Lights will turn off.
6. Carefully place or pour the food to be cooked on the lower Plate.
7. Timer: When you have placed the food on the grill, set the Timer to the appropri­ate number of minutes for appropriate cooking time. The Timer will ring when done cooking and the Power Light will turn off. Using a pot holder, open the Lid and check the food. If food has not reached the desired doneness, reset the Timer for additional minutes.
8. Do not leave the unit unattended during use!
9. When the food is done, turn the Timer off. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting the plug, make sure the Power light is off before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
10. Remove the food using the Plastic Spatula provided. Be sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface of the Plates. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can damage the coating on the Plates.
11. When cool, the Drip Tray may be removed and emptied. Caution: Be sure the liquid has cooled before removing the Drip Tray.

User Maintenance Instructions
CAUTION: To avoid accidental burns, allow your Grilling Machine to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and allow to cool.
CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure the power is off (Timer is off and Red power light is off) before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
2. Inside cleaning: Place the Drip Tray under the front of the Grilling Machine. Using the specially designed Spatula, scrape off any excess fat and food particles. Run off will drip into the Drip Tray. Wipe the plates with an absorbent paper towel or sponge.
3. Empty the Drip Tray and wash with warm soapy water. The Grilling Plates may be removed from the appliance by pulling out on the Grilling Plate Release Handles. Wash in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Reinstall the Grilling Plates, making sure they are securely attached to the appliance. The removable Grilling Plates are also dishwasher safe.
After washing the plates in the dishwasher, wipe the uncoated side with a dry towel to prevent discoloration. Dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on the uncoated side of the cooking plate. This is not harmful and can be wiped off with a damp towel.
4. Stubborn build-up: Use a non-metalic scrubbing pad to clean the plates.
5. Outside cleaning: Wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
6. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the appliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question
1. Can I cook frozen food on
my George Foreman Grill?
2. Can I cook kabobs on the
George Foreman Grill?
3. After cooking with garlic,
how can I remove the smell of the garlic from the surface of my George Foreman Grill?
4. How can I cook hot dogs
on my George Foreman Grill?
5. Can hash browns be
prepared on my George Foreman Grill?
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 grill 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
suggestions?
Fresh peppers can be grilled for 2-3 minutes for skinning purposes.
Grilled cheese sandwiches can also be cooked on your George Foreman Grill.
