Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in 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 quali- fied 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 extension cords are available and may be used if care is exer- cised in their use.

If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the exten- sion cords 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 chil- dren or tripped over accidentally.

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.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the GRV660 8 in 1 Toaster/Oven Broiler. This state-of-the-art appliance is complete with accessories that allow you to Bake, Roast, Broil, Grill, Griddle, Bun Warmer, Rotisserie Roast and Toast, all within a large capacity Quick Clean interior. Clearly marked control knobs allow you to quickly set up your oven to take advantage of its many features.

Most unique to your GRV660 Oven, however, is the built-in Griddle. This feature allows you to grill your favorite foods or side dishes on the top griddle while cooking in the oven below.

Before Using for the First Time

1.Read all of the instructions included in this manual.

2.Remove all packaging materials including the sticker from the door.

3.Make sure oven is unplugged and the Time Control is in the OFF position.

4.Wipe Oven exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. DO NOT use harsh or abrasive cleansers as these can damage the exterior sur- face.

CAUTION: Do not immerse Cord, Plug or appliance into water or any other liquid.

5.Remove the racks, pans, cookie sheets, rotisserie spit, and the griddle. Wash them in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. However, the Bun Warmer should be washed by hand in warm, soapy water.

6.Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven. Plug oven into outlet and you are ready to use your new George Foreman??? 8 in 1 Toaster/Oven Broiler.

7.Before first use, we recommend that you run the oven at the MAX tempera- ture on the Toast function for approximately 15 minutes to eliminate any packing oil that may remain after shipping.

COOKING CONTAINERS

1.A variety of standard baking dishes, such as an 8" round or square cake pan, a 6-cup muffin pan, and 1 and 2-quart round, square, or rectangular casserole dishes may be used.

2.Choose bakeware made of metal or glass - ceramic.

3.Dark or dull pans absorb heat faster; foods will bake more rapidly and crust will brown more easily than in shiny bake pans.

4.Check package directions to determine if the container is suitable for use in a Toaster Oven/Broiler.

CAUTION - Allow at least 1" air space between the top of the container and the upper heating elements. Never use glass lids on glass or metal bakeware. If a lid is necessary, cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Accessories

BAKE RACKS - May be positioned in the upper or lower Rack Support Guides for toasting, baking, and general cooking in casserole dishes and standard pans. Note: When reference is made throughout this manual to the chrome Bake Racks facing up or down, refer to the following:

COOKIE SHEETS - Each cookie sheet holds approximately 9-12 medium size cookies.

DRIP PAN & BROIL RACK - For use in broiling and roasting meat, poultry, fish, and various other foods. The Broil Rack allows fat drippings to drip into the Drip Pan and away from the food. This will help prevent spatter- ing that could result in smoking and flare-ups. Please note that the Drip Pan may also be used as a baking pan.

Note: Always use the Drip Pan with the Broil Rack when roasting and broiling meats, poultry and fish steaks.

TRAY/RACK HANDLE - The Tray/Rack Handle can be used to remove the Bake Rack, Broil Pan & Rack, and Cookie Sheets when they are hot.

GRIDDLE - Excellent for cooking breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinners or just as a keep-warm area for already cooked foods. The Griddle and Griddle Lid must be securely in place on top of the appliance while using the Oven. The Griddle Lid may be removed when using the Griddle.

ROTISSERIE - Roasts a variety of meats and poultry that are very tender and juicy inside, and browned to perfection outside.

ROTISSERIE HANDLE - Used for removing the Rotisserie spit from the oven after your roast is done.

BUN WARMER - Warm a variety of bread products (hamburger buns, breakfast biscuits, English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and mini croissants). For example, warm hamburger buns while broiling the burgers! 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.

NOTE: Sugar based foods have a tendency to stick to all surfaces and are very hard to clean. When cooking these types of foods with the Drip Pan, Broil Rack and Griddle, soak and clean them immediately after each use.

Instructions for Use

CAUTION: Appliance surfaces are hot during and after use. Always wear protective, insulated oven mitts when touching hot oven or hot dishes and food, or when inserting or removing Bake Rack, Drip Pan, Cookie Sheet, Rotisserie Spit or other baking dishes.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire or shock, do not operate the unit unless the removable top tray (Griddle) is in place.

ROTISSERIE COOKING

3.Place food to be cooked on the Spit by

running the Spit directly through the center of the food.

4.Place the second Fork into the other end of the roast or poultry and secure Fork with the thumbscrew.

5.Check that the food is centered on the Spit.

6.Insert the pointed end of the Spit into the Drive Socket located on the right-hand side of the oven wall. Make sure the square end of the Spit rests on the Spit Support, located on the left-hand side of the oven wall.

7.Slide a Bake Rack, facing down, into the lowest position and place the Drip Pan on this rack to catch the food drippings.

8.Turn the Time Control to the STAY ON position.

9.Use the Rotisserie Guide for suggested roast times. Check doneness with a reliable meat thermometer. Use an independent timer to remind you to check the meat temperature.

10.When complete, turn the Time Control to the OFF position.

11.Remove the Spit by placing the hooks of the Rotisserie Handle under the grooves on either side of the Spit. Lift the left side of the Spit first by lifting it up and out. Then, pull the Spit out of the Drive Socket and care- fully remove the roast from the oven. Take the meat off the Spit and place on cutting board or platter.

12.For delicious gravy, skim the fat from the drippings of the Drip Pan. Pour into a saucepan, add water or broth to make 1 1/2 cups gravy, thicken with cornstarch or flour and simmer a few minutes.
