CPREPARATION
9 Sit the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains, etc.
10 Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, to catch run-off.
11 Wipe the grill plates with oil or butter. Don’t use low fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.

13 Time will show I, temperature will show H.
14 Press the 2button.
15 The grill will beep, the 2button will glow, the time display will show 5, and the temperature
display will show 140, blinking.

temperature is reached, and beep 4 times.
19 Wait till it stops blinking before filling the grill.
CFILL THE GRILL

CUSING THE TIMER
,Using the timer is optional. It doesn’t turn the grill off, it simply beeps 4 times to tell you the
time is up.
30 Pressing bT redirects the uand ubuttons to control the time display.
31 If you press bT again, the uand ubuttons revert to controlling the temperature display.
32 Press uto increase, dto reduce the time displayed.
,After 5 seconds of inaction, the appliance will revert to temperature mode.
33 The maximum is 20 minutes – it doesn’t roll over after 20, use dto reduce it.
34 The timer will count down, beep 4 times, then show on.
,When it shows on, it means exactly that – if you leave food on the grill, it’ll keep on cooking.
Make sure you remove the food as soon as it’s ready.
lUSING THE SEAR FUNCTION
,Using the sear function gives you 90 seconds at 250°C.
35 This is best used with close-grained red muscle tissue like beef/buffalo/bison, lamb/sheep/
goat, venison, swordfish, ostrich/emu, kangaroo, cut as steaks (across the grain of the meat).
36 The steaks should be between 5mm and 25mm (¤to 1 inch) thick.
37 You’ll need the oven glove, and non-metal tongs.
38 Press the lbutton – the button will glow, the temperature display will show 250, blinking.
39 Wait till the grill beeps 4 times (the display stops blinking).
40 Open the grill, lay the food on the bottom grill plate, then close the grill.
41 Wait till the grill beeps again (90 seconds), when it will revert to the default temperature.
42 The outside surfaces of the food will be seared to a deep brown, while the inside should still
be rare to medium rare, depending on the thickness of the food.
43 You now have the option of removing the food right away, for rare or medium, or leaving it
to cook at the default temperature for a little longer, if you want the meat more well done.
,If you want to use the sear function again, wait 10 minutes before doing so.
CCARE AND MAINTENANCE
44 Press 2, then unplug the grill and let it cool.
45 Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge.
46 Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
47 Wash the grill plates in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher.
48 Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
49 Take extra care with the non-stick cooking surfaces.
50 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
51 George Foreman sponges, designed specially for cleaning our grills, are available online.
,Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs of
wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

cooking times & food safety
Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food. When cooking frozen
foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the
thickness and density of the food.
Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.
Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish
till the flesh is opaque throughout.
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
