IMPORTANT	SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be 
followed, including the following:
❑	Read all instructions.
❑	Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❑	To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the heater assembly, main 
body assembly, cord or plugs in water or any 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, and before cleaning the appliance.
❑	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

Th E	LEAN 	MEAN 	SPIN 	FRYING 	MAC hINE™
Congratulations on your purchase of the new George Foreman® Lean 
Mean™ Fryer! 
The Lean Mean™ Fryer features our new, patented Smart Spin™ technology 
that knocks out up to 55%* of fat absorbed during frying. During a special 
SPIN cycle that follows cooking, your Lean Mean™ Fryer uses centrifugal 
force to literally spin the added fat and oil off your food. The result is great-
tasting, crisp fried foods that please the palate and let you enjoy all the 
fried foods you love with none of the guilt. That’s the George Foreman® 
commitment!
Results 	you 	can 	see!
The Lean Mean™ Fryer underwent independent 3rd party laboratory testing 
in order to support the claims being made. Fat content was measured in 
uncooked food, in food prepared using typical deep frying methods, and 
then with the Lean Mean™ Fryer. In both the deep frying and Lean Mean™ 
frying process, food was allowed to rest on a paper towel for two minutes 
before fat content was measured. As such, the claimed fat reduction 
percentages below are independent of any standard paper towel oil 
absorption. 
Fat 	Reduction 	Values:
•	 Onion 	Rings: 	up 	to 	38%* 	less 	fat
•	 French 	Fries: 	up 	to 	43%* 	less 	fat
•	 Breaded 	Chicken: 	up 	to 	55%* 	less 	fat
Prepackaged foods selected were the top-selling brands in each category.
*Percentage 	of 	fat 	reduction 	refers 	only 	to 	the 	percentage 	of 	fat 	absorbed	
during 	frying, 	in 	comparison 	to 	conventional 	deep 	fat 	fryers. 	This 	product	
does 	not 	remove 	the 	original 	fat 	present 	in 	food 	items 	prior 	to 	frying.	
Results 	are 	based 	on 	independent 	laboratory 	testing, 	using 	a 	2 	minute	
spin 	cycle. 	Results 	are 	not 	typical 	and 	may 	vary 	based 	on 	food 	type 	and	
brand. 	Average 	reduction 	of 	absorbed 	fat 	of 	tested 	food 	items 	is 	38%.	
Fried 	foods 	should 	be 	eaten 	in 	moderation 	and 	only 	as 	part 	of 	a 	well-
balanced 	diet. 	Consult 	your 	physician 	or 	nutritionist 	for 	dietary 	advice.

COOKING	IN 	T h E	FRYER
1.  Preheat oil by selecting the desired cooking temperature and turning the knob 
 to the right of the handle so that the white line above the knob is directly at 
the desired temperature. 
Note:  Use the graphics on the front of the appliance and the charts and recipes 
found in the Use & Care as a guide to determine temperature and amounts of 
foods to be cooked in each batch.
2.  While appliance is heating the thermostat light will 
be off. The light will turn back on when the selected 
temperature has been reached	(J). 
3.  With the lid closed, raise the basket by pressing the 
handle release button and lifting it until it clicks into 
place.
4.  Allow the basket to drain several seconds. Press the 
lid release button to open the fryer.
5.  Fill basket with foods to be cooked. Do not overfill. 
6.  Close the lid firmly and lower the basket into the fryer by pressing the handle 
release button and lowering the handle until it locks into place at the bottom of 
the cooking pot.
7.  Set the cooking timer  on the top right of the fryer 
(K). 
8.  The timer counts down in minutes; there is an 
audible signal when the timer reaches zero. 
9.  To turn food during cooking, lift the basket, open the 
lid and carefully turn food using heat resistant tongs 
or slotted spoon. Reclose lid; lower the basket and 
allow food to continue cooking.

h ELPFUL 	hINTS 	ABOUT 	YOUR 	FRYER
•   Preheat oil before first frying. Also, allow the oil to return to preset temperature 
before cooking another batch of food. The green light will turn on when the 
selected temperature has been reached.
•  Never overfill the fryer. There must be room for the hot oil to rise when food has 
been added.
•  Be sure the foods to be cooked are fully covered by the oil.
•  If food is cooking too quickly on the outside before the center can be fully 
cooked:
•  Check the temperature of the oil with a deep frying thermometer and  
  check the freshness of the oil. It may be time to discard oil and start fresh.
•  Lower the temperature on the fryer.
•  Season fried foods after frying when they are still hot and fresh from the fryer.
•  High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil. Always strain 
cooled used oil through a cheese cloth or paper towel lined strainer after  
each use.
•  To preserve the life of your oil, store used oil tightly sealed in a cool dark place 
between usages. On average, oil can be reused about 4 to 6 times before 
discarding.
•  Oil should be discarded after frying if you notice:
•  Extreme smoking at normal frying temperatures
•  Very darkened oil
•  Rancid smelling oil
•  Excessive foaming around food being fried
•  Dry foods fry best. Dry foods with a paper towel. Make sure there are no ice 
crystals on frozen foods to be fried.
•  Make sure to remove excess breading and batter before placing food in hot oil.
•  Keep foods to a uniform size and thickness.
•  For better fresh French fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for ½ hour before 
frying. Drain well and dry thoroughly before frying. Fry in small batches and 
allow temperature of oil to recover before frying another batch.
•  Preheating the basket helps to prevent foods from sticking to the basket.
