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 grill grate, flat top griddle plate, and crisper basket in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. The grill grate, flat top griddle plate, crisper basket, and base unit are NOT dishwasher safe. NEVER clean the main unit in the dishwasher.
   NOTE: The base liner underneath the bottom heating element may have some visible discoloration. This is a result of our normal manufacturing process. The unit has not been previously used.

4. DO NOT use abrasive brushes or sponges on the cooking surfaces, as it will cause damage to the coating.

We recommend placing all accessories inside the grill and running it on GRILL, temp set to HI for 20 minutes without adding food. This removes any residues. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the performance of the grill.

HANDLE INSTALLATION

1. Ensure the correct handle is being used on the left and right side. (Refer to Fig. A and note that the handles have L and R stickers on the underside.) An Allen wrench is taped onto the left handle (see Fig. A).
2. Place unit at edge of table (Fig. B) OR, with lid still taped down, carefully place grill upside down by holding the sides of the unit and the lid down. If tape has been removed, remove all accessories from the grill and, holding the sides of the unit and the lid down, place grill on top polyfoam piece to protect unit (Fig. C).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.

• “Add Food” appears on the control panel display.
  The unit has 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 close for the selected function to start.

• “Add Grill” appears on the control panel.
  The grill grate needs to be installed. Once installed, closed the hood and press the Start button to begin.

• “E” appears on the control panel display.
  The unit is not functioning properly. Contact Customer Service at 1- 855-427-5125. So we may better assist you, please register your product online at registeryourninja.com and have the product on hand when you call.

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

• 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.

• Do I need to completely fill the smoke box with pellets?
  Yes, always fill the smoke box to the top. We’ve perfected the amount of pellets needed for each smoke session, regardless of the function or food load, the unit will burn through them appropriately.

• When do I press the Woodfire Flavor Technology Button?
  Press the Woodfire Flavor Technology button before pressing start when wanting to add smoke using the Grill, Air Crisp, Roast, Bake, or Dehydrate functions. You do not need to press the Woodfire Flavor Technology button when using the Smoker function.

• Where should I keep my pellets stored?
  Always store pellets in a dry area. Any moisture in the pellets can compromise ignition and quality of smoke flavor.

• Should I use any oils or non-stick sprays when smoking?
  No, we do not recommend using any oils or non-stick sprays when smoking because smoke will not adhere to the food as well.

• How do I dispose of burnt pellets after a cook cycle?
  Pellets may continue to burn after cook time is complete. Do not touch or remove the smoke box until the grill has stopped smoking, pellets have completely burnt out, and the smoke box has cooled. Then, remove the smoke box and safely discard all contents.

• Why is preheat taking so long?
  Preheat times vary by function and unit temperature.

  • GRILL: approx. 12-20 minutes.
  • AIR CRISP, BAKE, ROAST: 3 minutes
  • SMOKER, DEHYDRATE: No preheat.

If you are not using Woodfire Flavor Tecnology, preheat times will be 5-7 minutes faster. Using the unit in inclement weather with heavy rain could cause longer preheat times. We recommend using only extension cords marked with letters “SJOW” and stating, “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances.” Longer cord length may also cause longer preheat times, we recommend using the shortest outdoor rated extension cord that fits your outdoor grill set up. While preheating is strongly recommended for best results, you can skip it by pressing and holding the START/STOP button for 4 seconds. “ADD FOOD” will flash across the screen. Open the hood and place ingredients in unit. Once the hood is closed, cooking will begin and the timer will start counting down.

• Can I turn off Woodfire Flavor Technology?
  If you pressed Woodfire Flavor Technology and already started your cooking function by pressing START, you can press the Woodfire Flavor Technology button again to turn it off if the ignition cycle is less than 75% complete (indicated by the progress bar on the display screen). If pellets have fully ignited and the grill has transitioned to the preheat cycle (indicated on the display screen), you cannot turn Woodfire Flavor Technology off.

• Can I add more pellets during a cook cycle?
  When using the SMOKER function, you can add more pellets once the first batch has fully burned. Press and hold the Woodfire Flavor Technology button for 3 seconds to ignite new full box of pellets Run back to back smoking sessions, we recommend re-filling the smoke box using the pellet scoop when half the pellets have burned. DO NOT re-fill more than 1 or 2 times. DO NOT re-ignite pellets.
