IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY · READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Read all instructions before using your Ninja® Foodi® .
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
WARNING
1 To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and discard the
protective cover fitted on the power plug of this appliance.
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 use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved.
3 DO NOT place appliance on hot surfaces or near a hot gas or any electric
burner or glass stovetop, on or in a heated oven or stovetop.
4 When using this appliance, provide at least 6 inches (15cm) of space above
and on all sides for air circulation.
5 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.
6 DO NOT attempt to open the lid during or after pressure cooking until all
internal pressure has been released through the pressure release valve and the
unit has cooled slightly. DO NOT tamper with, disassemble, or otherwise remove
the float valve or pressure release assembly.
7 If the lid will not turn to unlock, this indicates the appliance is still
under pressure. Any pressure remaining can be hazardous. Let unit naturally
release pressure or turn the Pressure Release Valve slowly to the VENT
position to release steam. Take care to avoid contact with the releasing steam
to avoid burns or injury. When the steam is completely released, the float
valve will be in the lower position allowing the lid to be removed.
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 using
near children.
9 Children should not play with the appliance.
10 NEVER use socket below counter.
11 NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate
remote-control system.
12 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.
13 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.
2 ninjakitchen.co.uk
14 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.
15 ALWAYS ensure the appliance is properly assembled before use.
16 Before use, ALWAYS check pressure release valve and float valve for
clogging or obstruction, and clean them if necessary. Check to make sure the
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.
17 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.
18 To prevent risk of explosion and injury, use only SharkNinja Silicone
rings. Make certain silicone ring is installed and lid is properly closed
before operating. DO NOT use if torn or damaged. Replace before using.
19 Before placing removable cooking pot into the cooker base, ensure pot and
cooker base are clean and dry by wiping with a soft cloth.
20 This appliance is for household use only. DO NOT use this appliance for
anything other than its intended use. DO NOT use in moving vehicles or boats.
DO NOT use outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.
21 Intended for worktop use only. Ensure the surface is level, clean and dry.
DO NOT move the appliance when in use.
22 DO NOT use accessory attachments not recommended or sold by SharkNinja. DO
NOT place accessories in a microwave, toaster oven, convection oven, or
conventional oven or on a ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas burner range, or
outdoor grill. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by SharkNinja
may cause fire, electric shock, or injuries.
23 ALWAYS follow the maximum and minimum quantities of liquid as stated in
instructions and recipes.
24 NEVER use SLOW COOK setting without food and liquids in the removable
cooking pot.
25 DO NOT use the appliance without the removable cooking pot installed.
26 DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying.
27 DO NOT cover the pressure valves.
28 DO NOT sauté or fry with oil while pressure cooking.
29 Prevent food contact with heating elements. DO NOT overfill or exceed the
MAX fill level when cooking. Overfilling may cause personal injury or property
damage or affect the safe use of the appliance.

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.

HELPFUL TIPS
· For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer
on the rack, Cook & CrispTM Plate or in the 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 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.
· To 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.
