How To Use George Foreman’s Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine/ Griddle

1.Before using this appliance for the first time, wipe the Grilling Plates and the Griddle Surface with a damp cloth to remove all dust. Wash the Drip Tray and Spatulas in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

2.To preheat: Turn the left hand Temperature Control Dial (Grill) and the right hand Temperature Control Dial (Griddle) to OFF. Plug the cord into a 120V AC outlet then close the Lid on the Grilling side of the unit. If you are using the Grilling surface, turn the Temperature Control Dial on the Grill side to MIN, MED or MAX, according to your cooking needs and allow it to preheat until the power light goes off. If you are using the Griddle surface, turn the Temperature Control Dial on the Griddle side to MIN, MED or MAX, accord- ing to your cooking needs and allow it to preheat until the power light goes off. Since each side of the Grill/Griddle has independent controls and heat- ing elements, you may use each side at a different temperature, or set each side to the same temperature, if preferred. Note that when the elements are heating, the Power On Lights illuminate. They will remain ON until the set temperature has been reached then cycle on and off as the set tempera- ture is being maintained.
