How To Use the George Foreman®
GP324P Propane Grill (Cont.)
Grilling Instructions:
1. Light burner and turn the Temperature
Control Knob from HIGH to LOW. Check
the flame through the Flame Viewing
Hole, making sure the burner is lit.
2.To preheat: Close the Lid and preheat on HIGH for 8 minutes. During the
first use, you may notice a slight odor caused by the curing of manufac-
turing oils. IMPORTANT:Do not close the Lid for more than 8 minutes,
or without food loaded on the Grilling Rack.
3. After the 8 minute preheat period, carefully open the Lid and place food
onto the Grilling Rack. Cook until done, turning at least once halfway
through cooking time for most foods. Adjust flame with Temperature
Control Knob as needed. 
4. When the food is cooked, remove with heat resistant plastic or wooden
spatula or other utensil. 
CAUTION:  Do not leave any utensils on the Grilling Rack surface while
it is hot.
5. When finished cooking, or when the propane cylinder is empty, turn the
Temperature Control Knob to the LOCK/OFF position and remove the
propane cylinder. 
6. Allow the Grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning. 
Grilling Hints and Tips
•Use tender cuts of meat for grilling.
•Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them before grilling.
•To avoid drying out meat and fish, turn only once and do not pierce.
•To turn meat and fish, use a large, flat, heat resistant plastic or wooden
spatula to support the food.
•Place meat or chicken to be roasted in a shallow baking pan. Using
oven mitts carefully place pan on preheated Grill, taking care not to
scratch the non-stick surface. Place Lid on the Grilling Rack.
•Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at
too high a temperature can cause them to dry out.
•When grilling fish or chicken breast fillets, tuck extremely thin parts
under to prevent over cooking.

Attaching Regulator Assembly and 
Propane Gas Cylinder
1. Securely screw the Regulator Assembly
onto the Venturi Tube.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the
LOCK/OFF Position. Push the one pound
propane cylinder slightly into the valve
while turning counterclockwise until a
snug fit is obtained. Do not turn the
propane cylinder upside down while
attaching to the Regulator Assembly.
Testing for Leaks
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
•Test for leaks outdoors in a well ventilat-
ed area.
•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.
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 apply 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 connec-
tion and repeat steps (2) and (3).
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.

Instructions For Cleaning
CAUTION:  Grill surfaces are hot during use. Allow Grilling Rack, Flame
Diffuser, Lid 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 and Regulator Assembly.
3Remove the 
Grilling Rack and the Flame Diffuser/Drip Tray. Empty the
Drip Tray compartments.
4. Wash both parts 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 hard-
ened 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 the Lid and Grill Body.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
IMPORTANT:Clean the burner assembly prior to use after storing, at the begin-
ning of the 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 Venturi tube, its not necessary to remove the
Burner Assembly. However, remove the propane cylinder, Regulator Assembly,
Grilling Rack and Flame Diffuser/Drip Tray. Turn the Grill Body on its left-hand
side and look into the open Venturi tube with a flashlight. If necessary, clean it
out with a pipe cleaner.
Clean the outside of the Burner Assembly with a paper towel or damp sponge.
Open any clogged holes with a thin wire.
Storing Your Propane Grill
1. Clean the Grill as instructed above.
2. Cover Grill when stored outdoors.
3. Store Grill indoors only if the propane cylinder is turned off and disconnect-
ed, removed from Grill and stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space and
out of the reach of children..
4. When removing Grill from storage, follow the Cleaning the Burner Assembly
instructions before starting the Grill.
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be per-
formed by an authorized appliance repair technician.
Do NOTship gas cylinder if product needs service or repair.

2. Place the Grill on a flat, level surface. 
3. Pull out the front Leg in a sideways motion then swing it down while lifting
up on the Grill. The Leg will snap into place when properly positioned.
Repeat this procedure with the rear Leg. Raise the Lid and remove the
Warming Rack, the Grilling Rack and the Flame Diffuser.

making sure it properly rests upon the two rear tabs and the center tab at
the front 
6. Place the Grilling Rack above the Flame Diffuser, making sure it properly
rests upon the four triangular supports in each corner of the Grill Body.
7. Note that the Warming Rack has two support bars and requires some minor
assembly. The support bar located at the front of the Warming Rack has
extension legs that insert into the pivot points located in the Grill Body. The
support bar at the back of the Warming Rack has extensions that insert into
the pivot points located in the Lid. Position the Warming Rack above the
Grilling Rack and insert the two extension legs into their pivot points in the
Grill Body. Raise the Warming 
Rackand insert the two extensions at the
back of the Warming Rack into their pivot points in the Lid. When the Lid is
closed, the Warming Rack pivots down toward the Grilling Rack. As the Lid
opens, the Warming
Rack pivots up, allowing free access to food on the
Grilling Rack
.
