FAQs
Can I use the grill and griddle at different temperatures simultaneously?
Yes, absolutely! The George Foreman 23450 features dual independent temperature controls, allowing you to set separate heat levels for the grill and griddle sections at the same time.
How do I clean the non-stick plates?
After unplugging and allowing the appliance to cool completely, simply wipe the non-stick plates with a warm, damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads to protect the coating. The drip tray can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water or placed in the dishwasher.
Is this appliance suitable for cooking thick foods?
Yes, it is. The George Foreman 23450 is equipped with a floating hinge design that can accommodate thicker cuts of food, ensuring even cooking pressure and consistent results.
How long is the power cable?
The power cable for the George Foreman 23450 is 92cm (approximately 36 inches) long and features a 3-Pin UK Plug.
Does it require oil or butter for cooking?
Thanks to its advanced non-stick coating, you generally don't need to use oil or butter. However, for some very lean foods or for added flavor, a very light spray of cooking oil can be used if desired. The sloped design and drip tray help drain away excess fat for healthier cooking.
What is the total cooking surface area?
The grill surface area is 439cm² and the griddle surface area is 613cm², providing a generous combined cooking space for up to 10 portions.
Troubleshooting
Appliance won't turn on or heat up.
Ensure the appliance is securely plugged into a live 3-Pin UK power outlet. Check the power outlet by plugging in another small appliance. Verify that both temperature control dials are turned to a heat setting and not 'OFF'.
Food is sticking to the non-stick plates.
Ensure the cooking plates are clean before use and that the non-stick coating has not been damaged by abrasive cleaners or utensils. Always preheat the grill and griddle to the recommended temperature before placing food on the surface. For very lean foods, a light spray of cooking oil can be used.
Excessive smoke during cooking.
This can often be caused by excessive fat or oil buildup from previous cooking sessions or by cooking very fatty foods. Ensure the drip tray is empty and clean before use. Clean the cooking plates thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup.

Care and Maintenance
- Always Unplug & Cool: Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
- Wipe Plates: Use a warm, damp cloth or sponge to wipe the non-stick cooking plates. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
- Clean Drip Tray: Remove the drip tray and wash it in warm, soapy water. It can also be placed on the top rack of a dishwasher.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do NOT Immerse: Never immerse the entire appliance, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. This will damage the electrical components and void the warranty.
