GETTING TO KNOW THE NINJATM FOODITM SMART XL PRO GRILL & GRIDDLE

FOODITM SMART

NOTE: Not all functions included with every model.

FUNCTION BUTTONS

GRILL : Closed-hood cooking for top and bottom heat. Best when grilling large or thick cuts of meat or frozen food or for an all-around sear. Open the hood while grilling delicate foods or lean proteins to develop char-grilled textures without over cooking.

ROAST : Tenderize meats, roast vegetables, and more.

BROIL: Add a crispy finishing touch to meals or melt cheese on sandwiches.

BBQ GRIDDLE : Griddle, sauté, or sear everything from pancakes to grilled cheese sandwiches on a flat cooking surface.

AIR CRISP : Achieve crispiness and crunch with little to no oil and higher fan speeds.

BAKE : Bake cakes, treats, desserts, and more with lower fan speeds.
DEHYDRATE : Dehydrate meats, fruits, and vegetables for healthy snacks.

MANUAL: Switches the display so you can manually set the internal doneness with the dial.

PRESET: When thermometer is inserted, the display will allow you to select your food type. Turn the dial to select your protein.

DONENESS: When preset is selected, press the doneness button and turn dial to select desired doneness.

OPERATING BUTTONS

POWER: Make sure unit is plugged in.
To turn on the unit, press the button.
DIAL: To select a cooking function or
other setting, turn the dial
.
START/STOP: Press the center of the dial to start or stop the selected cooking function. When most cooking functions are started, the unit enters preheat mode, then cooking begins when the temperature setting is reached.

TEMP : To select temperature, press the

TEMP button and use the dial to adjust.

TIME : To select cook time, press TIME button and use the dial to adjust.

FUNCTION : Press to clear all settings or when thermometer is in “Rest” state (if preheating and cooking have not begun).

PREHEAT: After you set function, time, and temperature then press the dial, the unit will automatically begin preheating. If PREHEAT button is selected after pressing dial, the unit will skip preheating (not recommended).
PREHEAT FOR BETTER RESULTS

For best grilling results, let the unit fully preheat before adding food. Adding food before preheating is complete may lead to overcooking, smoke, and longer preheat time.

BEFORE FIRST USE

  1. Remove all packaging material, and tape from the unit.
  2. Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
  3. Wash the pro powered grill grate, flat top BBQ griddle, crisper basket, thermometer, and splatter shield in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. All accessories, except the thermometer, are dishwasher safe. NEVER clean the main unit or thermometer in the dishwasher.
  4. Do not use abrasive brushes or sponges on the cooking surfaces, as it will cause damage to the coating.

SPLATTER SHIELD
Located on the underside of the hood, the splatter shield keeps the heating element clean. ALWAYS ensure the splatter shield is installed when cooking. Failure to use the splatter shield will result in oil buildup on the heating element, which can cause smoking.

Installing the splatter shield
To install, hook the left side of the splatter shield into place and then snap the right side into place until you hear it click and it feels secure.

Removing the splatter shield and cleaning
Remove the splatter shield for cleaning after each use. Allow the shield to cool completely, then unhook the shield from the back of the hood by pressing the top tab back, then pull handle forward.
Removing splatter shield cleaning

GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY
When using the Grill functions, you will need to select the pro powered grill grate temperature setting. Below are recommended temperature levels for common ingredients. Use function with grill grate only. The unit may produce smoke when cooking ingredients on a setting hotter than recommended.

LO MED HI MAX
• Bacon • Frozen meats • Steaks • Veggies
• Sausages • Marinated/ sauced meats • Chicken • Fruit
• When using thick BBQ sauce • Burgers • Hot dogs • Pizzas
• Meat kebabs •Fresh/ frozen seafood
• Veggie Kebabs

Switching to Grill after using another function
If the unit is already warm from using a different function, ADD FOOD may appear on the display immediately. We recommend allowing the grill grate to heat up for at least 6 minutes before placing ingredients on it.

Batch grilling
When grilling more than two consecutive batches of food, it is recommended that you empty the fat/oil from the grease catch. It is also HIGHLY recommended to clean the splatter shield in between uses.  This will help prevent grease from burning and causing smoke.

USING THE FOODITM SMART THERMOMETER

IMPORTANT : To prevent burning or scalding, DO NOT place hands near Foodi Smart Thermometer cord when in use.

B efore First Use

Make sure the thermometer jack is free of any residue and the cord is free of knots before plugging it into the jack. Handle cord with care.

  1. Pull the magnetic thermometer storage compartment on the right side of the unit outward. Then unwind the cord from the compartment to remove the thermometer.
    Before First Use

  2. Plug the thermometer into the jack. Push firmly on the plug until it cannot go into the jack any further and you feel or hear it click into place. Place the storage compartment back onto the  side of the unit.

  3. Once the thermometer is plugged into the jack, it will enable the PRESET and MANUAL thermometer buttons. Turn the dial to select the desired cook function (e.g., Grill) and cook temperature.
    Before First Use
    NOTE: There is no need to set a cook time, as the unit will automatically turn off the heating element and alert you when your food has finished cooking.

  4. If using PRESET, then press the PRESET button and turn the center dial to select your desired food type. Upon selection, press the DONENESS button and turn the dial to choose your preferred internal doneness (rare through well).
    NOTE: Cooking different meats or the sames ones to different levels doneness? Refer to the next page for details on programming

    NOTE:
    When using Grill, Roast, BBQ Griddle, or Air Crisp, the unit will beep and display FLIP. Flipping is optional but recommended.

  5. The unit will automatically stop when desired doneness is almost reached, as it accounts for carry-over cooking, and GET FOOD will appear on the display.

  6. When REST appears on the display, transfer the protein to a plate. Thermometer can be removed before transferring. The protein will continue to carry-over cook to your set doneness, which takes about 3–5 minutes. This is an important step, as not resting could lead to results looking less cooked. Carry-over cook times can vary based on size of protein, cut of protein, and type of protein.

NOTE: The thermometer will be HOT. Use either oven mitts or tongs to take the thermometer out of the protein.

NOTE: To check the internal temperature of other pieces of protein, press and hold MANUAL and insert the thermometer into each piece of meat.

USING THE THERMOMETER IN DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS:

Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same size to different levels of doneness:

  • Set the Preset feature to the highest desired level of doneness.
  • Insert the thermometer in the protein with the highest desired level of doneness.
  • After preheating, place proteins inside the grill. When the progress bars show that the lowest desired level of doneness is reached, remove the protein without thermometer.
  • Continue cooking the remaining protein until the next desired level of doneness is reached.

Cooking 2 or more proteins of different sizes:

  • Insert thermometer in the smaller protein and use the Preset feature to choose the level of doneness.
  • When that protein is done cooking, remove it from the unit.
  • Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to the larger protein and use the arrows to the left of the display to choose its level of doneness.

Cooking 2 or more different types of protein:

  • Insert thermometer in the protein with the lowest desired level of doneness.
  • Use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature.
  • When that protein is done cooking, remove it from the unit.
  • Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to the other protein and use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature.
FOOD TYPE: PLACEMENT CORRECT INCORRECT

Steaks Pork chops Lamb chops Chicken breasts Burgers Tenderloins Fish fillets|

  • Insert thermometer horizontally into the center of the thickest part of the meat.
  • Make sure the thermometer is close to (but not touching) the bone and away from any fat or gristle.
  • Make sure the tip of the thermometer is inserted straight into the thickest part of the meat, not angled toward the bottom or top of it.

NOTE : The thickest part of the fillet may not be the center. It is important that the end of the thermometer hits this area so that desired results are achieved.

The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. Always let the appliance cool before cleaning.

  • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Keep the hood open after removing your food to allow the unit to cool quicker.

  • The pro powered grill grate, flat top BBQ griddle, crisper basket, and splatter shield are dishwasher safe. The thermometer and thermometer holder are NOT dishwasher safe.

  • For the best dishwasher cleaning results, we recommend rinsing the powered grill grate, flat top BBQ griddle, crisper basket, and splatter shield with warm water before placing them in the dishwasher.

  • If hand-washing, air-dry or towel-dry all parts after washing.

  • The inner hood should be wiped down with a damp towel or cloth after each use to deodorize the unit and remove any grease.

  • If food residue or grease is stuck on the powered grill grate, splatter shield, or any other removable part (except the thermometer), soak in warm, soapy water before cleaning
    NOTE: The Foodi Smart Thermometer and holder are hand wash with a damp cloth only. Never place unit or thermometer in dishwasher or submerse in liquid of any kind.

  • Clean the splatter shield after every use. Soaking the splatter shield overnight will help soften any baked-on grease. After soaking, use a cleaning brush or tool to remove the grease from the stainless steel frame and front tabs.

  • Deep clean the splatter shield by putting it in a pot of water and boiling it for 10 minutes. Then rinse with roomtem perature water and allow to dry completely.

  • Gently wipe down the inside of the hood with a damp cloth.
    NOTE: NEVER use abrasive tools or cleaners. NEVER immerse the main unit or thermometer in water or any other liquid. Do not place in dishwasher.

  • When stacking the coated accessories to store, place a cloth or paper towel between each piece to protect the coated surfaces.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • “Add Food” appears on the control panel display. The unit ha  completed preheating and it is now time to add your  ingredients.

  • “Shut Lid” appears on the control panel display. The hood is open and needs to be closed for the selected function to start.

  • “Plug In” appears on the control panel display. The thermometer is not plugged into the jack on the right side of the control panel. Plug the thermometer in before proceeding. Press the thermometer in until you hear a click.

  • “PRBE ERR” appears on the control panel display. This means the unit timed out before food reached the set internal temperature. As a protection for the unit, it can run for only certain lengths of time at specific temperatures.

  • “Add Grate” appears on the control panel display. The grill grate must be installed in the base unit before cooking. Add the powered grill grate.

  • “E” appears on the control panel display. The unit is not functioning properly. Contact Customer Service at 1 877-646-5288. So we may better assist you, please register your product online at registeryourninja.com and have the product on hand when you call.

  • Why is my food overcooked or undercooked even though I used the thermometer? It is important to insert the thermometer lengthwise into the thickest part of the ingredient to get the most accurate reading. Make sure to allow food to rest for 3–5 minutes to complete cooking. For more information, refer to the Using the FoodiTM Smart Thermometer section.

  • Why is there no noise during BBQ Griddle preheat even though the preheat progress bars are showing? As long as the progress bars show, your unit is preheating. BBQ Griddle will preheat the bottom plate, and the fan will turn on several minutes into preheating.

  • Can I cancel or override preheating? Preheating is highly recommended for best results, but you can skip it by selecting the PREHEAT button after you press the dial.

  • Should I add my ingredients before or after preheating? For best results, let the unit preheat before adding ingredients.

  • Why is the unit emitting smoke? When using the Grill function, always select the recommended temperature setting. Recommended settings can be found in the Quick Start Guide and in the Inspiration Guide. Make sure the splatter shield is installed.

  • How do I pause the unit so I can check my food?
    By opening the hood during a cooking function besides Grill and BBQ Griddle, the unit will automatically pause.

  • Will the thermometer grip melt if it touches the hot grill grate? No, the grip is made of a high-temperature silicone that can handle the unit’s high temperatures.

  • Why did a circuit breaker trip while using the unit? The unit uses 1760 watts of power, so it must be plugged into an outlet on a 15-amp circuit breaker. Using an outlet on a 10-amp breaker will cause the breaker to trip. It is also important that the unit be the only appliance plugged into an outlet when in use. To avoid tripping a breaker, make sure the unit is the only appliance plugged into an outlet on a 15-amp breaker.

  • Why does the unit have a 1–9 scale for the Beef Preset?
    Perception of what a specific internal doneness looks like differs from person to person, even restaurant to restaurant. The 1–9 scale provides a wide range of options so you can customize doneness to your liking.
