How To Use George Foreman’s Lean Mean

Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

1.Before using the Grilling Machine for the first time, wipe the Grilling Plates with a damp cloth to remove all dust.

2.To preheat: Close the Lids and plug cord into a 120V AC polarized outlet. The Display will show "---" indicating the unit is in the "OFF" mode. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the unit on. Each side of the Grill has separate heating elements, so if you are using both sides, the ON/OFF Button on each side must be pressed. The Power On Indicator Light will come on. The Display will show "5" indicating the start of the 5 minute (300°) preheat countdown. Press the TEMP button to select the Variable Temperature function. The Variable Temperature function allows you to cook your food at a specific heat setting (300° - 400°). Each side has an inde- pendent control, so you can cook at different temperatures on each side, or set each side to the same temperature. Press the UP or DOWN arrow to obtain your desired temperature level. See "Suggested Cooking Chart" on following page for specific details. The Display will flash the selected temperature until that temper- ature has been reached. When the preheat countdown is complete the unit will beep. The Temperature/Timer Display will show "on" or the temperature setting as a reminder that the power is still on. Note: If the temperature setting has not yet been reached, it will flash the setting until reached.

3.Use a pot holder to carefully open the Lid.

4.Slide the grease catching Drip Tray under the front of the unit.

5.Carefully place the items to be cooked on the grilling plate.

6.Close the Lid and press the TIME button to select the Timer function. Press the Up or Down arrow to set the desired grilling time (1 - 20 minutes). The Display will show the set time. Each side has an independent control, so you can cook for dif- ferent times on each side, or set each side to the same time. (Consult the Recipe Section at the back of this book for some suggestions.) During grilling, the Timer Display will begin counting down.

7.Allow the food to cook for the set time. Do not leave appliance unattended during use! When the set time has elapsed the unit will beep and the Display will show "on" or the temperature setting as a reminder that the power is still on. Note: The Grilling Machine will automatically shut-off one hour after you have turned it on. To continue cooking, press the ON/OFF Button and reset the temperature and time.

8.Press the ON/OFF Button to turn off the Grill. If both sides have been turned on, both ON/OFF Buttons must be pressed to the OFF position. The Power On Indicator Light will go out and the Display will show "---". Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.

CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure the "Power On Indicator" is off (not illuminated) before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.

9.Use a pot holder to carefully open the Lid.

10.Remove the food using the Plastic Spatula provided. Be sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils so as not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can damage the coating on the grilling plates.

11.When cool, the Drip Tray may be removed and emptied. Be sure the liquid is cooled before removing Drip Tray.
