How To Use George Foreman’s Lean Mean

Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

1.Before using the Grilling Machine for the first time, remove the Grilling Plates and wash them in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Make sure both Grilling Plates are firmly attached to the appliance.

2.To preheat: Close the Lid and plug the cord into a 120V AC outlet. The Temperature Display will show dashes, "---", indicating that the appliance is in the off mode. Press the Power On/Off Button to turn the unit on. The Temperature Display will show a flashing "300". Adjusting the Temperature Control allows you to cook your food at a specific heat setting, 300˚ - 425˚F, in 25˚ increments. Adjust the temperature to your desired setting. Press the Temperature "+" Button to increase the temperature. To decrease the tem- perature press the Temperature "-" Button. See Suggested Cooking Chart for specific details. Allow Grilling Machine to preheat for 5 minutes. Note: If temperature reaches displayed temperature before 5 minutes the tempera- ture display will stop flashing and the unit will beep 4 times. The Temperature Display will stay illuminated as a reminder that the power is still on. If the Temperature Display is still flashing, the set temperature has not yet been reached.
