5. The unit will begin building pressure, indicated by PRE. The unit will begin counting down when it is fully pressurised.
6. When the countdown is finished, the unit will beep, automatically switch to Keep Warm mode, and begin counting up
7. Turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to quick release the pressurised steam. A quick burst of steam will spurt out of the pressure release valve. When steam is completely released and the float valve drops down, the unit will be ready to open.

NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE VS. QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
Natural Pressure Release: Once pressure cooking is complete, the pressure will start to naturally release as the unit cools down. During this time, the unit will switch to Keep Warm mode. When natural pressure release is complete, the float valve will drop down.
NOTE: Press the KEEP WARM button if you would like to turn Keep Warm mode off.

Quick Pressure Release: Use ONLY when called for in a recipe. When cooking is complete, the unit will switch to Keep Warm mode. Turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to instantly release pressure through the valve. When quick pressure release is complete the float valve will drop down. Even after releasing pressure, some steam will remain in the unit and will escape when the lid is opened. Lift and tilt it away from you, making sure no condensation drips into the cooker base. NOTE: At any time during the natural release process, you can switch to quick release by turning the pressure release valve to the VENT position.

PRESSURISING
As pressure builds in the unit, the control panel will display PRE. Pressurising time varies, depending on the amount of ingredients and liquid in the pot. As the unit pressurises, the lid will lock as a safety measure, and it will not unlock until pressure is released. Once the unit has reached full pressure, the cooking cycle will begin and the timer will start counting down.

INSTALLING & REMOVING THE PRESSURE LID
Place the pressure lid on top of the unit with the on the lid and the on the base lined up evenly. Turn the lid clockwise until it locks in place. To unlock the pressure lid, turn it counterclockwise. Lift the lid at an angle to prevent splatter. Do not lift the lid straight up.

This will help protect food during the long period of submersion.

5. Press the START/STOP button to begin preheating.

6. The unit will beep when preheat is complete and ADD FOOD will show on the display. Remove pressure lid and place bags in the water using the water displacement method: Working with one bag at a time, leave a corner of the bag unzipped—as you slowly lower the bag into the water, the pressure of the water will force the air out of the bag. When just the bag’s seal is above the water line, finish closing the bag, making sure no water gets inside. Keep the bag’s seal just above the water line.

7. Reinstall the pressure lid and ensure the pressure release valve is in the VENT position.

8. When cook time is complete, the unit will beep. Carefully remove bags from the water with silicone-tipped tongs.
   NOTES: If the food you have cooked is not going to be consumed immediately, plunge the bags into ice water to reduce temperature quickly, then keep food refrigerated. When reheating food that has been cooked using the Sous Vide function, use the Sous Vide function again. After preheating the water, add food in the resealable bags and cook approximately 15–20 minutes using the desired cook temperature. Sous vide is almost always the first step in the cooking process. Foods should be finished by using a dry heat method such as grilling, sautéing, roasting, or air frying.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning: Dishwasher & Hand-WashingThe unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

1. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.

2. To clean the cooker base and the control panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth.

3. The pressure lid, cooking pot, silicone ring, deluxe reversible rack, Cook & Crisp Basket, and detachable diffuser can be washed in the dishwasher
   NOTE: NEVER put the cooker base in the dishwasher, or immerse it in water or any other liquid.

4. The pressure release valve and anti-clog cap, can be washed with water and dish soap.
   NOTE: DO NOT take apart the pressure release valve or float valve assembly

5. To clean the crisping lid, wipe it down with a wet cloth or paper towel after the heat shield cools.

6.  If food residue is stuck on the cooking pot, deluxe reversible rack, or Cook & Crisp Basket, fill the pot with water and allow it to soak before cleaning. DO  NOT use scouring pads. If scrubbing isnecessary, use a non-abrasive cleanser or liquid dish soap with a nylon pad or brush. 7 Air-dry all parts after each use.

7. Air-dry all parts after each use.

Removing & Reinstalling the Silicone Ring
To remove the silicone ring, pull it outward, section by section, from the silicone ring rack. The silicone ring is reversible and can be installed with either side facing up. To reinstall, press it down into the rack section by section.
After use, remove any food debris from the silicone ring and anti-clog cap.

Keep the silicone ring clean to avoid odor.
Washing it in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is normal for it to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. It is recommended to have more than one silicone ring on hand. You can purchase additional silicone rings on ninjakitchen.sg or ninjakitchen.my.
NEVER pull out the silicone ring with excessive force, as that may deform it and the rack and affect the pressure-sealing function. A silicone ring with cracks, cuts, or other damage should be replaced immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Why is my unit taking so long to come to pressure? How long does it take to come to pressure?

• Cooking times may vary based on the selected temperature, current temperature
  of the cooking pot, and temperature or quantity of the ingredients.

• Check to make sure your silicone ring is fully seated and flush against the lid. If installed correctly, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.

• Check that the pressure lid is fully locked, and the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position when pressure cooking.

Why is the time counting down so slowly?

• You may have set hours rather than minutes. When setting time, the display will show HH:MM and the time will increase/decrease in minute increments.

How can I tell when the unit is pressurising?

• PRE will display on the screen to indicate the unit is building pressure.
  “PRE” is showing on the display screen when using the Pressure or Steam function.

• This indicates the unit is building pressure or preheating when using STEAM or PRESSURE. When the unit has finished building pressure, your set cook time will begin counting down.

There is a lot of steam coming from my unit when using the Steam function.

• It’s normal for steam to release through the pressure release valve during cooking. Leave the pressure release valve in the VENT position for Steam, Slow Cook, and Sear/Sauté.

Why can’t I take the pressure lid off?

• As a safety feature, the pressure lid will not unlock until the unit is completely depressurised. To release pressure, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to quick release the pressurised steam. A quick burst of steam will spurt out of the pressure release valve. When the steam is completely released, the unit will be ready to open. To unlock the pressure lid, turn it counterclockwise. Lift the lid at an angle to prevent splatter. Do not lift the lid straight up.

Is the pressure release valve supposed to be loose?

• Yes. The pressure release valve’s loose fit is intentional; it enables a quick and easy transition between SEAL and VENT and helps regulate pressure by releasing small amounts of steam during cooking to ensure great results. Please make sure it is turned as far as possible toward the SEAL position when pressure cooking and as far as possible toward the VENT position when quick releasing.

The unit is hissing and not reaching pressure.

•  Make sure the pressure release valve is turned to the SEAL position. If you’ve done this and still hear a loud hissing noise, it may indicate your silicone seal is not fully in place. Press START/STOP to stop cooking, VENT as necessary, and remove the pressure lid. Press down on the silicone ring, ensuring it is fully inserted and lies flat under the ring rack. Once fully installed, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.

The unit is counting up rather than down.

• The cooking cycle is complete and the unit is in Keep Warm mode.

How long does the unit take to depressurise?

• The time it takes to release pressure depends on the quantity of food in the unit and can vary from recipe to recipe. Always ensure the float valve has dropped before trying to remove the lid. If the unit is taking longer than normal to depressurise, unplug the unit and wait until the float valve drops before removing the lid.

“ADD POT” error message appears on display screen.

• Cooking pot is not inside the cooker base. Cooking pot is required for all functions. “OTHR LID” error message appears on display screen.
• The incorrect lid is installed for your desired cooking function. Place the pressure lid on the unit if you want to use the Pressure, Slow Cook, Steam, Sear/Sauté, or Keep Warm functions and ensure it is in the closed position.

“SHUT LID” error message appears on display screen.

• The crisping lid is open and needs to be closed for the selected function to start.

“TURN LID” error message appears on the display screen.

• The pressure lid is not fully installed. Turn the lid clockwise until it clicks for the selected cooking function to start.

“OPEN VENT” error message appears on display screen.

• When set to Slow Cook or Sear/Sauté, and the unit senses pressure building up, this message indicates the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position.
• Turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position and leave it there for the remainder of the cooking function.
• If you do not turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position within 5 minutes, the program will cancel and the unit will shut off.

“ADD WATR” error message appears on display screen when using the Steam function.

• The water level is too low. Add more water to the unit for the function to continue.

“ADD WATR” error message appears on display screen when using the Pressure function.

• Make sure the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position.

“ADD FOOD” message on screen when using the Sous Vide function.

• Preheating is complete and you can now place the resealable bags containing food in the water. Remove the pressure lid, add food, then reinstall pressure lid, ensuring the pressure release valve is in the VENT position.

HELPFUL TIPS

• For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer in the Cook & Crisp Plate or cooking pot with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping, make sure to shake them halfway through the set cook time.
• For smaller ingredients that could fall through the nesting grill rack, we recommend first placing them on parchment paper or foil.
• When switching from pressure cooking to using the crisping lid, we recommend emptying the pot of any remaining liquid for best crisping results.
• Press and hold down the TIME up or down arrow to get to your desired time faster.
• Use the Keep Warm mode to keep food at a warm, food-safe temperature after cooking. To prevent food from drying out, we recommend keeping the pressure lid closed and using this function just before serving. To reheat cold food, use the Air Crisp function.
