GRILLING
1. Using a pot holder, carefully open the preheated grill.
Note:
The George Tough™ nonstick coating on the plates is designed to work without oil,
butter or cooking spray. If desired, you may use oil or butter. However, aerosol cooking
spray should never be used; chemicals that allow spray to come out of can build up on
the surface of the plates and reduce their efficiency.
2. Carefully place foods to be cooked on lower grilling plate. This grill accommodates
up to 6 servings, depending on the size of the food.
Note:
Do not overload grill.
3. Close cover and allow food to cook for selected time. If desired, use a kitchen timer.
Note:
Use suggested cooking times found in the GRILLING CHARTS on pages 6, 7 and 8.

4. Light pressure can be used on the handle to press and heat food to your liking.
Important: Do not use heavy pressure on the lid of the grill at any time.

simply follow the steps, beginning at step 3.
6. Using a pot holder, carefully open the grill cover.

Always use silicone, heatproof plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching
nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs, forks or knives.

SUGGESTED GRILLING ChART
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill
of food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness and cut being used. Use a cooking

to avoid overcooking the food.
