steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of
burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.
2. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner's Manual
before operating or cleaning this appliance.
3. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical out-
let only.
4. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all
sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall
coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.
5. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
6. This appliance generates steam—do not operate in open position.
7. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug cord
from outlet. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.
8. Using pot holder, hold the top cover (Lid) open while placing or removing
food on the cooking surface to prevent accidental closing and injury.
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 out-
let 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 becom-
ing 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.

Using the Bun Warmer
Model GR14BWC comes equipped with a Bun Warmer. You can use this
feature to warm various kinds of bread products (hamburger buns,
breakfast biscuits, English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and
mini croissants). For example, if you are cooking hamburgers, you can
place your hamburger buns inside the Bun Warmer to warm them while
you cook the hamburgers! REMEMBER: The Bun Warmer should be
used to warm bread products only. It will not cook or grill any item. It is
not intended for defrosting. The Bun Warmer cannot hold very thick
bread products. If a bread product is too thick, you may have to cut it
(butterfly) to fit.

cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, unplug the Grilling Machine from the wall outlet
and allow to cool.

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 non-metallic scrubbing pad to clean the
plates.

soft, dry cloth.
6. To clean the Bun Warmer surface, simply wipe with a clean, damp
cloth or sponge. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners!
7. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any
part of the Grilling Machine.
8. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
9. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning
must be performed by a qualified electrician.
10. Make sure to hold the top cover (Lid) by hand while cleaning to pre-
vent accidental closing and injury.
11. Once the Grilling Machine is completely cooled and cleaned, the
Power Cord may be wound using the Cord Storage area on the bot-
tom of the unit. Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters the

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.

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.
