4. Children should not play with the appliance.

5. NEVER use socket below counter.

6. NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system.

7. DO NOT use an extension cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children less than 8 years grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.

8. To protect against electrical shock DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid. Cook only in the pot provided or in a container recommended by SharkNinja placed in the provided pot.

9. Regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. DO NOT use
   the appliance if there is damage to the power cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.

10. ALWAYS tilt the lid so that it is between your body and the inner pot so that you can be shielded from steam and hot liquids.

11. ALWAYS ensure the appliance is properly assembled before use.

12. Before use, ALWAYS check pressure release valve and red float valve for clogging or obstruction, and clean them if necessary. Check to make sure the red float valve on the pressure lid moves freely. Foods such as apple sauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and splutter when pressure cooked, clogging the pressure release valve. These and similar expanding foods (such as dried vegetables, beans, grains, and rice) should not be cooked in a pressure cooker, except when following a Ninja® Foodi® recipe.

13. DO NOT cover the air intake vent or air socket vent while crisping lid is closed. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.

After use, remove any food debris from the silicone ring and anti-clog cap.

Keep the silicone ring clean to avoid odour
Washing it in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher can remove odour. However, it is normal for it to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. It is recommended to have more than one silicone ring at hand. You can purchase additional silicone rings at ninjakitchen.eu

NEVER pull out the silicone ring with excessive force, as this 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?
  • The progress bar will display on the screen to indicate the unit is building pressure. Progress bars are showing on the display screen when using the Pressure or Steam function.
  • Lights are rotating on the display screen when using the Pressure or Steam function.
  • The progress bar 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. Turn the pressure lid counterclockwise, then lift it up and away from you.
• 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 system and can vary from recipe to recipe. Always ensure the float valve has dropped before trying to remove the lid. If the
  • system is taking longer than normal to depressurise please unplug the unit and wait until the float valve drops before interacting with the product.
• “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 WTR” 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 WTR” error message appears on display screen when using the Pressure function.
  • Add more liquid to the cooking pot before restarting the pressure cook cycle.
  • Make sure the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position.
  • Make sure the silicone ring is installed correctly.
• “ERR” message appears.
  • The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 0800 862 0453.

HELPFUL TIPS

• For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the rack, Cook & Crisp Plate or in the cooking pot with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping, make sure to shake them halfway through the set cook time.
• F or smaller ingredients that could fall through the rack, we recommend first wrapping them in a parchment paper or foil pouch.
• 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 lid closed and using this function just before serving.
• To reheat cold food, use the Air Crisp function.
• T o have your unit build pressure quicker, set it to SEAR/SAUTÉ HIGH. Once ready to pressure cook, press the PRESSURE button and continue as you normally would.
