How To Use George Foreman’s Lean Mean
Contact Roasting Machine
1.
Place the Contact Roaster on a stable and level surface, such as a counter top.
Wipe the Heating Plates with a damp cloth to remove all dust. Make sure the
ON/OFF Button is in the "OFF" position.
2.
Make sure the size of meats, poultry or other foods fit into the Contact Roaster
before preheating. Place the Wire Rack into the Roaster if desired. The Wire Rack
should be used, in either the upright or inverted position when cooking meats that
require longer cooking times or to steam vegetables.
3.
To preheat:
Close the Lid and plug cord into a 120V AC polarized outlet. Press the
ON/OFF Button to the "ON" position. The Power On Indicator will illuminate. The
Variable Timer Display will alternately flash "ph" and "5" indicating the start of the 5
minute preheat countdown. When preheat is complete the unit will beep 4 times
and the Timer Display will flash "ph". If cooking time is not entered the unit will
beep periodically as a reminder that the unit is ON and ready to cook.
4.
Use a pot holder or oven mitt to carefully open the Lid.
5.
Slide the Drip Tray under the front of the unit.
6.
Wear oven mitts and use plastic or wooden utensils to carefully place food into
the Contact Roaster. Always use plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching
the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can dam-
age the non-stick coating. Use oven mitts when inserting Baking Pan into the hot
Contact Roaster. Use the Baking Pan to cook foods containing liquids.
7.
Close the Lid. Set the Timer by pressing the UP or DOWN arrows to obtain your
desired cook time. (Please note that the Contact Roaster will accept a maximum of
150 minutes.) The Display will show the set time. See the Suggested Cooking Chart
on the following page and the Recipe Section for specific details and suggestions.
CAUTION: Do not preheat or cook with the Lid in the open position.
8.
Allow the food to cook for the set time.
Do not leave appliance unattended during
use!
During roasting, the Timer Display will begin counting down. When the set
time has elapsed the unit will beep 4 times. The Display will alternately flash "00"
and "on" as a reminder that the power is still on. The Power On Indicator will
remain on until the ON/OFF Button is pressed to the "OFF" position. If the unit is not
turned off, the unit will beep twice every 5 minutes as a reminder that the unit is
still on.
9.
After the desired amount of time, the food should be done. Using a pot holder,
carefully and slowly raise the Lid to allow steam to escape at the sides before fully
opening. Check food for doneness using a cooking thermometer. If necessary,
reset the Timer for additional time and check periodically to avoid over cooking.
10. Press the ON/OFF Button to the "OFF" position. Disconnect plug from wall outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure
the "Power On Indicator" is off (not illuminated) before disconnecting the plug
from the outlet.
11. Wear oven mitts and carefully remove the food using plastic or wooden utensils.
Always use oven mitts when removing Baking Pan and place on a heat resistant
surface.
12. When cool, the Drip Tray may be removed and emptied.
Be sure the liquid has
cooled before removing Drip Tray.
13. Thoroughly clean the Contact Roaster after each use. Refer to User Maintenance
Instructions for details.
