Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other):
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable
power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the
counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters
or place-mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or
table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.

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 Lid and plug cord into a 120V AC outlet. The
Power Light will go on indicating that the elements are heating. Allow
Grilling Machine to preheat for 3-5 minutes.
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 bottom cooking plate.
6. Close the Lid and allow the food to cook for the desired time. (Consult
the Recipe Section at the back of this book for some suggestions.)
The Power Light will go on when the Lid is closed to indicate that the
elements are heating up to cook. Do not leave appliance unattended
during use!
7. After the desired amount of time, the food should be done.
8. Use a "pot holder" to carefully open the Lid.
9. 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 cooking plates.
10. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and allow to cool.
CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting
plug, make sure the "Power Light" is off (not illuminated) before
disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
11. When cool, the Drip Tray may be removed and emptied. Be sure the
liquid is cooled before removing Drip Tray.

User Maintenance Instructions
CAUTION: To avoid accidental burns, allow your Grilling Machine to
cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, unplug the Grilling Machine from the wall outlet and
allow to cool.
2. Inside cleaning: Place the Drip Tray under the front of the Grilling
Machine. Using the specially designed spatula, scrape off any
excess fat and food particles. Wipe the plates with absorbent paper
towel or a sponge. Run off will drip into the Drip Tray.
3. Stubborn build-up: Use a wet sponge to wipe the plates while the
Grilling Machine is still somewhat warm.
4. Empty the Drip Tray and clean with warm soapy water. Wipe dry.
5. Outside cleaning: Wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft,
dry cloth.

Recipes
NOTE: For all recipes, please remember to place Drip Tray in front of the
Grilling Machine to catch drippings from the cooking process.
The Champ’s Sausage Without Guilt
You can start your day with a sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes
good, but is also good for you. This moist, flavorful sausage, served with
a country-style biscuit, makes the complete breakfast. Choose ground
turkey breast, which is lower in fat than ground turkey containing dark
meat and skin. Turkey, especially the light meat, is a good source of
niacin, which is an important B vitamin needed to maintain a healthy ner-
vous system.
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely snipped dried apples or
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh red Delicious apple
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb.lean ground turkey breast
• In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, dried or
fresh apples, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, sage, nutmeg, black pepper,
and cayenne pepper. Add the ground turkey and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into eight or nine 2-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the Grilling Machine and place the patties on the grill four at
a time. Cook for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the
juices run clear, turning once or twice.
• Yield: 8 - 9 patties

Calbom.

George’s Sausage Texas Style
A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages
are great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and egg
scramble. Buy 90% lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety
percent lean beef has 9 grams of fat with 4 of those grams being satu-
rated fat; whereas 73% lean beef has 18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams
being saturated.
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup diced green chili peppers
1 clove (large) garlic, finely minced
2 Tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, bread
crumbs, green chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder,
salt and cayenne pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into eight 3-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the Grilling Machine for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties
on the grill four at a time.
• Cook for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices
run clear, turning once or twice.
• Yield: 8 patties

George Foreman’s PowerBurger
A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat
cousin! It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat
in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up
for it with plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegeta-
bles have been added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other
grains or cereal. In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically
contain one less fat gram than regular or even reduced-calorie buns.
If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese
is 1 gram lower in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8
grams of fat versus 9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat
cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss contain half the fat with 4 grams per
ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per tablespoon versus a whop-
ping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded
cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach.
1/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions,
green onions, zucchini, parsley (can be sautéed)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3/4 lb. lean ground beef
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread
crumbs. Add the ground beef and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into four 4-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the Grilling Machine for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties
on the grill four at a time.
• Cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the
juices run clear, turning once.
• Yield: Serves 4
This recipe is from "The Healthy Gourmet" (Clarkson Potter) by Cherie
Calbom.
