safety instructions.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

cooking unit in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children.
5. This appliance is not for use by children.

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.
Electric Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance
may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances.
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the
counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters
or placemats 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.

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 three
at a time. Close the Lid. 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

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 5 minutes and place the patties on
the grill three at a time. Close the Lid.
• 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 typi-
cally 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, shred-
ded 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 4-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the Grilling Machine and place the patties on the grill. Close
the Lid.
• Cook for 8 - 9 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the
juices run clear, turning once.
• Yield: Serves 4

Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Response
1. Can I cook frozen food on
my George Foreman Grill?

longer. And it is preferable that food be
defrosted before placing on the George
Foreman Grill. Please refer to the Suggested
Cooking Chart in this manual for examples.
2. Can I cook kabobs on the
George Foreman Grill?
Yes. In order to protect the non-stick surface
use wooden skewers. We recommend that

how can I remove the smell
of the garlic from the sur-
face of my George Foreman
Grill?
After cleaning your George Foreman Grill
according to the "User Maintenance
Instructions" make a paste of baking soda

Grill. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and
then wipe away with a damp sponge or
cloth.

on my George Foreman
Grill?
Preheat your Grill for 5-minutes. Place the

pared on my George
