    Recipes (Cont.)
    George Foreman’s Power Burger
    A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat
    cousin! It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat
    in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up
    for it with plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegeta-
    bles have been added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other
    grains or cereal. In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically
    contain one less fat gram than regular or even reduced-calorie buns.
    If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese is 1
    gram lower in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8
    grams of fat versus 9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat
    cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss contain half the fat with 4 grams per
    ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per tablespoon versus a whop-
    ping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
    Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded
    cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach.
    3/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, 
    green onions, zucchini, parsley (can be sautéed)
    3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
    2-1/4 lbs. lean ground beef
    •In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread
    crumbs. Add the ground beef and mix well.
    •Shape the mixture into twelve 4-inch wide patties.
    •Preheat the Grill on MED/HIGH for 8 minutes. 
    •Place the patties on the Grill.
    •Lower Cover and cook 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook another 6-7 min-
    utes or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
    •Serves 12

    George’s Sausage Texas Style
    A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages
    are great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and scrambled
    eggs. Buy 90% lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety per-
    cent lean beef has 9 grams of fat with 4 of those grams being saturated
    fat; whereas 73% lean beef has 18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams being
    saturated.
    2 slightly beaten egg whites
    2/3 cup finely chopped onion
    1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
    1/2 cup diced green chili peppers
    2 cloves (large) garlic, finely minced

    2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    1 Tbsp. chili powder
    1/2 tsp. sea salt
    1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
    1 lb. lean ground beef
    •In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except ground beef. Add
    the ground beef and mix well.
    •Shape the mixture into sixteen 3-inch wide patties.
    •Preheat the Grill on MED/HIGH for 8 minutes.

    The Champ’s Sausage Without Guilt
    Try this sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes good, but is also good
    for you. Choose ground turkey breast, which is lower in fat than ground
    turkey containing dark meat and skin. Turkey, especially the light meat, is
    a good source of niacin, which is an important B vitamin needed to
    maintain a healthy nervous system. Early symptoms of niacin deficiency
    that appear in the nervous system are apprehension, irritability, depres-
    sion, weakness, and loss of memory. To prevent niacin deficiency,
    include plenty of lean turkey, fish, whole wheat, potatoes, corn flower,
    eggs, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots.

    1 tsp. ground sage
    1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
    1/2 tsp. black pepper
    1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
    1 lb. lean ground turkey breast

    Instructions For Cleaning
    CAUTION:  Grill surfaces are hot during use. Allow Grill Plate, Drip Container,
    Cover and Grill Body to cool completely before handling and cleaning. 
    1. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the LOCK/OFF position and allow the
    grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning. 
    2. Remove the propane cylinder. 
    3Remove the Grill Plate and empty the Drip Container.
    4. Wash the Grill Plate and Drip Container with warm, soapy water and a
    plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use steel wool,
    coarse scouring pads or harsh or abrasive cleaners. If necessary, use a
    nylon bristle brush to loosen hardened food particles.
    5. Wash exterior parts with a soft sponge and warm clear water.
    Nonabrasive cleaners may also be used.
    6. Use a damp cloth to clean the inside of Cover and Grill Body.
    Cleaning the Burner Assembly
    IMPORTANT:Clean burner assembly
    prior to use after storing, at the begin-
    ning of grilling season or an inactive
    period of one month. Spiders and
    insects like to build nests in burner
    tubes, especially during colder months.
    The nests can cause fires in burner
    tubes or under grill.
    In order to clean the inside of the burner
    tubes, the Burner Assembly must be
    removed from the grill. Make sure the
    propane cylinder, Grill Plate and Drip
    Container have been removed before
    proceeding.
    1. Turn the Grill Body upside down.
    Refer to Figure 9 and locate the clip
    that holds the venturi to the
    Regulator Assembly. Pull straight up
    on the clip, set it to the side and
    return the Grill Body to the Upright
    position.
    2. Refer to Figure 10 and locate the
    two machine screws that secure the
    Burner Assembly to the grill. Loosen
    and remove these screws, making
    sure you retain the screws, washers
    and hex nuts for reassembly.
    Assembly Instructions
    CAUTION:  It is advisable that two persons assemble the grill. Never use the Storage
    Case/Stand as a chair. Never load anything on the Storage Case/Stand except the
    grill. Never load over 6 1/2 lbs. (3kg) on each Side Tray.
    To transform the Grill from the
    Transport Position to the Grilling
    Position, lay the Storage Case/Stand on
    its side, unlatch, then remove the Base
    Support Ring and Grill Body assembly. 
    Close and latch all 4 Latches of the
    Storage Case/Stand. Turn the Storage
    Case/Stand upside down and pull out
    the Front Support Foot and the Support
    Leg with wheels. Position the Base
    Support Ring above the Front Support
    Foot. Align and insert the tabs of the
    Front Support Foot into the notches on
    the underside of the Base Support
    Ring. Slide the notches on the opposing
    side of the Base Support ring under the
    tabs on the Storage Case/Stand. Raise
    the Securing Rod and snap it under the
    metal clips on the Support Leg with
    wheels. The other end of the Securing
    Rod will snap into the groove on the top
    of the Base Support Ring and lock the
    assemblies together. Turn the Storage
    Case/Stand to the upright position. See
    Figure 5.
    Place the grill assembly on top of the
    Storage Case/Stand by sliding the
    Mounting Bracket under the inside lip
    of the Storage Case/Stand. Lift up the
    Transport Handle/Drip Container Holder
    to a level position. Insert the Drip
    Container.
    IMPORTANT:Push the Transport
    Handle/Drip Container Holder into the
    slot of the Grill to lock it in place. This
    is necessary as it keeps the Holder in
    place and secures the back of the Grill
    Assembly. 
    Raise the Cover and swing out both Side
    Trays. IMPORTANT:Always unfold the
    Side Trays before igniting, pre-heating or using the grill. 
    Attach the One Pound Propane Cylinder as instructed in Attaching Propane Gas
    Cylinder. The Grill is ready for use.
    Make sure the Drip Container is in proper position, and remember that the grill should
    always be operated with the Regulator on the right and the Drip Container in the rear.

    Testing for Leaks
    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
    •Test for leaks outdoors in a well venti-
    lated area. First:
    1. Mix a couple tablespoons of liquid
    detergent with an equal amount of
    water. Use mild soap and water. DO
    NOT USE HOUSEHOLD CLEANING
    AGENTS.
    2. Be sure that the Temperature Control
    Knob is in the LOCK/OFF position.
    3. Use a clean paint brush to brush
    soapy solution onto connection
    between gas cylinder and Regulator
    orifice, and watch for bubbles.
    4. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows,
    there is a leak. Retighten connection
    and repeat steps (2) and (3).
    •Test all gas connections for leaks before
    using your propane grill.
    •Test for leaks every time you connect the
    gas supply.
    •Do not smoke while checking for leaks.
    •DANGER - Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
    Be sure
    there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for
    leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious
    bodily injury or death, and damage to property.
    NOTE:If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder and check for dam-
    aged threads, dirt and debris at the connection and gas cylinder. Also check
    to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at the connection and gas cylin-
    der openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak
    test.
    Checking the Ignitor:
    •The Temperature Control Knob must be in the “LOCK/OFF” position.
    Press the Ignitor button rapidly. A “CLICK” should be heard and spark
    seen through Flame Viewing Hole.
