Congratulations on the purchase of your George Foreman Grill. Each unit is manufactured to ensure
safety and reliability. Before using the appliance for the first time, please read the instruction book
carefully and keep it for future reference. Pass it on if you pass on
the appliance.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL
• Remove any packaging and labels from the appliance.
• Wipe the exterior and cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
• Place the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated area, with the
lid closed.
• Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn the power on. The power light will glow.
• When the grill reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will glow.
It will then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain
the temperature.
Note: When using your grill for the first time, the unit may emit a fine smoke vapour and
scent. This is normal and is caused by the first heating of the new elements and new
cooking plates.
• Switch the power off at the wall power outlet, allow the grill to cool then wipe over the
cooking plates once again using a damp cloth.
CONDITION THE COOKING PLATES
Note: Conditioning the cooking plates will help prolong the life of the
non-stick coating.
• Lift the lid and wipe the upper and lower cooking plates lightly with cooking oil.
• Switch the power on at the wall power outlet. The heating light will illuminate.
Allow the thermostat light to cycle on and off at least 2 times.
• Switch the power off at the wall power outlet, remove the plug and allow the grill to cool.
• Wipe off any excess oil with a dry paper towel and close the lid.
FLAT FOR SANDWICHES OR TILTED FOR GRILLING?
• You may raise the rear foot to tilt the grill and speed the flow of fat into the drip tray, or
leave it flat to prevent fillings such as melting cheese moving towards the front of the grill.
• Grill meat, burgers, anything that exudes fat, on the tilt.
• Grill sandwiches, panini, foods with fluid fillings like melting cheese, on the flat.
• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, to catch run-off.
