IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING

1. Read all instructions before using the oven and its accessories.
2. This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
3. If food contents catch fire during cooking, DO NOT open the oven door.
   • If you can safely do so, unplug the oven immediately.
   • DO NOT throw water onto the fire.
   • Food contents may contain grease and water may cause fire growth.
   • If fire emits from the oven door, call the fire service immediately.
   • DO NOT use the oven after it has experienced a fire. It may have been damaged and present a risk of fire or shock.
4. To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, discard all packaging materials immediately upon unpacking.
5. Take an inventory of all contents to ensure you have all the parts needed to properly and safely operate your oven.
6. DO NOT use an extension cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
7. NEVER use an electrical socket below the worktop level.
8. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children.
   • Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
9. DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or worktops or touch hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating ovens.
10. NEVER leave the oven unattended while in use.
11. DO NOT place any object directly onto the heating elements and DO NOT cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with aluminum foil. This will cause the oven to overheat or cause a fire.
12. DO NOT use the oven with the crumb tray incorrectly installed. The Crumb tray MUST be placed below the lower heating elements.
13. To protect against electrical shock
    • DO NOT immerse the cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid.
14. DO NOT use the oven with damage to the power cord or plug. Regularly inspect the oven and power cord. If the oven malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.
15. DO NOT cover the air intake vents or air socket vents while the unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
16. DO NOT insert anything in the ventilation slots and do not obstruct them.
17. DO NOT place items on top of the surface while the unit is operating except for authorized recommended Ninja® accessories.
18. Before placing any accessories into the oven ensure they are clean and dry.
19. Intended for worktop use only.

28. DO NOT spray any type of aerosol spray or flavouring inside the oven while cooking.
29. Use caution when inserting and removing anything from the oven, especially when hot.
30. Socket voltages can vary, affecting the performance of your product. To prevent possible illness, use a thermometer to check that your food is cooked to the temperatures recommended.
31. Prevent food contact with heating elements. Excessive food loads may cause personal injury or property damage or affect the safe use of the oven.

COMMON–SENSE PRACTICES/GOOD HABITS:

• DO NOT leave your oven unattended while making food. If possible, unplug the oven while not in use to eliminate the possibility of accidents occurring.
• Have a fire extinguisher or fire containment blanket handy in a safe, known location. If you don’t have a fire extinguisher, douse the flames with bicarbonate of soda until they are put out.
• If a fire occurs and the food in the oven is not greasy, immediately unplug the unit and douse the flames with water until the fire is extinguished. DO NOT use water if grease is present, since it could make the fire worse. Use bicarbonate of soda instead.

ACCESSORY PLACEMENT

• The oven has 4 available rack positions where your accessories can slide into the unit (see image above). When you select a function, the corresponding rack number(s) will illuminate on the control panel.
• The numbers on the control panel (see Fig. 1) will coincide with those on the interior of the unit. See the chart for further details.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove and discard any packaging material, promotional labels, 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 air fry basket, oven tray, wire rack, roasting rack, and removable crumb tray in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. DO NOT put oven tray, roasting rack, or removable crumb tray in the dishwasher. Finishes may degrade. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.

• We recommend placing all accessories inside the oven and running it on Roast at 230°C for 20 minutes without adding food. This removes any residues.

FAQ

Why won’t the oven turn on?

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the socket.
• Insert the power cord into a different socket.
• Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
• Press the power button.

Can I use the oven tray instead of the air fry basket with Air Fry function?

• Yes, but crispiness results may vary.

Do I need to adjust the cook times and temperatures of traditional oven recipes?

• For best results, keep an eye out on your food while cooking. Refer to cook charts in the Recipe Guide for more guidance on cook times and temperatures.

Can I restore the unit to its default settings?

• The oven will remember the last setting used for each function, even if you unplug it.
• To restore the oven’s default settings for each function, press the Light buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.

Why do the heating elements appear to be turning on and off?

• This is normal. The oven is designed to control temperature precisely for every function by adjusting the heating elements’ power levels.

Why does the oven have a different temperature reading with an external thermometer?

• Convection ovens circulate air differently than traditional ovens, so when the door is opened, more heat will escape. This may affect any external temperature reading of the unit’s interior temperature.
• Since this is a convection oven, it can cook more quickly than a traditional oven. Convection cooking includes a fan that helps speed up cooking time by circulating hot air and can affect temperatures within the cavity.
• The time it takes the unit to heat up to the set temperature will vary based on the amount of food being cooked, the function being used, and the cooking temperature and time. The oven features an algorithm that ensures temperature and time settings work with most traditional oven recipes. As a result, the temperature inside the oven may differ from the set temperature. This does not impact cooking quality. Refer to the Recipe Guide to learn more about recommended cook times and temperatures.

Why is my unit not fully preheated when the preheat cycle is completed?

• During preheating, the unit will not reach the intended cooking temperature, but it will preheat to a level that will start cooking your ingredients.
• As the cooking cycle continues, the oven will continue to heat up and cook your food to doneness. It may take up to 10 minutes for the unit to reach the intended cook temperature. This does not affect the cooking quality of most recipes.

Why is steam coming out from the oven door?

• This is normal. Foods with a high moisture content may release steam around the door.

Why is water dripping onto the worktop from under the door?

•  This is normal. The condensation created by foods with a high moisture content
• (such as frozen breads) may run down the inside of the door and drip onto the worktop.

Why is the unit generating smoke?

• Ensure you are using the roast tray on the oven tray when cooking all greasy foods or when using Air Fry, Air Roast, or Whole Roast functions.
• If the problem persists, run a Toast cycle on shade 7 with accessories removed; this will burn off any additional grease on the heating elements that are causing smoke.

How can I clean the oven tray?

• For stuck-on food, let the oven tray soak before cleaning.
• Line the oven tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper when cooking to make clean-up easier.

Why is my food overcooked or undercooked even though I used the smart probe?

• It is important to insert the smart probe 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 on recommended doneness while using the MANUAL function and doneness temperatures while using the PRESET function, refer to the Using the Foodi™ Smart Probe section.

Will the smart probe grip melt if it touches the heating elements inside the oven?

• Make sure the grip does not touch any of the heating elements inside the oven.

Why does the unit sound like it is still running even though the power is off?

• The cooling fan may continue to run even after the unit has been turned off. This is a normal function and should not be a source of concern.
• The cooling fan will stop after the temperature of the unit reaches below 35°C.
