Use handles or knobs. ❑ To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance (except removable plates) in water or other liquid. ❑ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. ❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts. ❑ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual. ❑ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. ❑ Do not use outdoors. ❑ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. ❑ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. ❑ Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. ❑ Be sure that removable plates are assembled and fastened properly. (See page 6 “ATTACHING THE GRILL PLATES” for further directions.) ❑ To disconnect, turn any control to OFF (O), then remove plug from wall outlet. ❑ Do not use this appliance for other than intended use. ❑ The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position. SAvE ThESE INSTRUCTIONS . This product is for household use only. POLARIZED PLUG (120v Models Only) 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. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. TAMPER-RESISTANT SCRE w w arning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user- serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel. ELECTRICAL CORD a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, 1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, 2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and 3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped ove r. Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

7 6 how to Use This product is for household use only. GETTING STARTED • Remove all packing material and, if applicable, any stickers from the product; remove and save literature. • Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty; for additional information go to www.georgeforemancooking.com. • Wash all removable parts and/or accessories as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING. • Select a dry, level location where your grill will be used, leaving enough space between the back of grill and wall to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls. DRIP TRA y Place drip tray under front sloped section of grill. ATTAChING ThE PLATES Important: This appliance must always be used with two plates securely attached. Caution: Attach grill plates when the appliance is cool. 1. Securely attach top grill plate using the release handles on each side. To secure the plate, press in on both release handles, set the plate on the grill, then release the handles (B). 2. Securely attach bottom grill plate or griddle/bake plate using the release handles as described in Step 1. h int: When the plates are properly attached, there will be no space between the top and bottom release handles when the grill is closed. USING ThE ADJUSTABLE ANGLE STAND The adjustable angle stand is found at the back of the appliance. It can be used in 2 positions: • The short stand that allows the appliance to cook in a flat, level position (C) . This position is used for griddle/bake plate, as well as for pressing Panini and heating sandwiches or wraps. Note: It is not necessary to use the drip tray when the grill is used in this position. • The long stand tilts the grill at the optimal angle to allow fat and grease to drain away from the food being cooked into the drip tray below the grill (D). Important: Make sure the drip tray is placed correctly at the front of the grill when using this position. 1. To change the position of the adjustable angle stand, make sure the grill is unplugged and cool. 2. Lift the back of the appliance up at around a 45 degree angle and swing the stand out. 3. Make sure the stand is in the desired position (short or long stand); then lower the back of the grill until it rests on the countertop. PREhEATING ThE GRILL 1. Close cover on grill. 2.

13 12 Care and Cleaning This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. CLEANING Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning. 1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool. Important: heat will continue to be ON until the On/Off (I/O) switch is pressed or the appliance is unplugged. 2. Place drip tray under front of grill. Use plastic spatula to scrape off any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip tray. 3. To remove the plates, press the release handles on both sides of the plates and remove from the grill. The plates can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot, soapy water; always dry plates thoroughly before reattaching. Tip: For easier grill plate cleaning, try a George Foreman grill sponge – available online and at retailers nationwide (model # GFSP3). Note: If washing the plates in a dishwasher, dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful. 4. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean. Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleaners to clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads. 5. Empty drip tray and wash in hot, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel or cloth. 6. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, damp sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth. Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid. 7. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be preformed by a qualified electrician. Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover while cleaning to prevent accidental closing and injury. STORAGE Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing. GRILLING TIPS • To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the cover frequently. • For best results, do not overload the grill. • When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before suggested time; if necessary adjust the time. • When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness. • Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking. • For added flavor, add dry seasonings or marinate foods before grilling. Important: Use only silicone, heatproof plastic or wooden utensils when cooking on the grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the high temperature.
15 14 TROUBLEShOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Finish on grill plates is scratched or has cut marks. Metal utensils have been used. Always use silicone, heatproof plastic, nylon or wood utensils to avoid scratching nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal spatulas, skewers, tongs, forks or knives.
