  • Left arrows Use the up and down arrows to the left of the display to adjust the cooking temperature in any function or to set the internal doneness when using PRESET and MANUAL buttons.

  • Right arrows Use the up and down arrows to the right of the display to set the food type when using PRESET or to adjust the cook time when not cooking with the Foodi Smart Thermometer.

  • MANUAL setting Switches the display screen so you can manually set the thermometer internal doneness. Manual button does not work with Dehydrate function.

  • PRESET setting Switches the display screen so you can set the thermometer, food type, and internal doneness based on the preset temperatures. Preset button does not work with Dehydrate function.
    NOTE : To adjust the temperature or time during cooking, press the up and down arrows. The unit will then resume at those settings.

  • START/STOP button After selecting temperature and time, press the START/STOP button to begin cooking.

  • Standby Mode If there has been no interaction with the control panel for 10 minutes and the unit is not cooking, the unit will go into Standby Mode and the control panel will dim.

  • Preheat If the unit is preheating, it will be indicated by a progress bar on the display screen and the PREHEAT button will illuminate. To turn off Preheat, press the PREHEAT button while the grill is in preheat state.

  • ADD FOOD will display. Thermometer 1: Press to activate thermometer on left side of unit and program.

  • Thermometer 2 : Press to activate thermometer on right side of unit and program.

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 it from the back of the hood by pressing the top tab back, then pulling the handle forward.

GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY

Use function with grill grate only. The unit may produce smoke when cooking ingredients on a setting hotter than recommended.

NOTE : For less smoke, we recommend using canola, coconut, avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable oil instead of olive oil. Heating oil past its smoke point can impart food with a burnt, acrid flavor.

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 between uses. This will help prevent grease from burning and causing smoke.
NOTE : The unit may produce smoke when cooking ingredients on a hotter setting than what is recommended. For more cooking charts, refer to your Inspiration Guide or visit ninjakitchen.com.

USING THE FOODI™ SMART THERMOMETER

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

Before 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.

USING ONE THERMOMETER

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

  2. Plug the thermometer into the jack on the left side of the unit. Push firmly on the plug until it cannot go into the jack any further. Place the storage compartment back onto the side of the unit.

  3. Once the thermometer is plugged into the jack, it will enable and illuminate the PRESET and MANUAL thermometer buttons. Select the desired cook function (e.g., Grill) and cook temperature.NINJA DG650 Series Foodi Dual Thermometer 6

  4. Press Thermometer 1 to enable PRESET thermometer settings. PRESET will illuminate. Use the arrows to the right of the display to select your desired food type and the arrows to the left of the display to set the internal doneness of your food (Rare through Well).
    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.

  5. Place the accessory required for your selected cook function in the unit and close the hood. Press START/STOP to begin preheating.NINJA DG650 Series Foodi Dual Thermometer 7
    NOTE : Cooking different meats or the sames ones to different doneness? Refer to the next page for details on programming.
    To use MANUAL thermometer settings, press Thermometer 1 twice until MANUAL is fully illuminated and use the below recommended internal cook temperatures.
    NOTE : Reference USDA guidelines for food safe temperature recommendations.
    NOTE : Set doneness for BEEF/LAMB are lower than normal recommendations as unit will carry-over cook 10-15°F.NINJA DG650 Series Foodi Dual
Thermometer 8

  6. While the unit is preheating, insert the thermometer horizontally into the center of the thickest part of the piece of protein. Refer to the chart on the adjacent page on further thermometer placement instructions.

  7. When the unit has preheated and “ADD FOOD” appears on the screen, open the hood, place food with inserted thermometer in the unit, and close the hood over the thermometer cord.

  8. The progress bar at the top of the display will track doneness. Flashing doneness indicates progression to that doneness.

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

  10. Transfer the protein to a plate while “REST” displays on the screen. Thermometer does not need to still be inserted. The protein will continue to carry-over cook to your set doneness, which will take about 3–5 minutes. This is an important step, as not resting could lead to results looking “less” cooked. Carryover cook times can vary based on size of protein, cut of protein, and type of protein.

USING TWO THERMOMETERS

  1. Follow steps 1–4 under Using One Thermometer.
  2. Pull the thermometer storage compartment on the left side of the unit outward. Then unwind the cord from the compartment to remove the thermometer.

  6. While the unit is preheating, insert the thermometer horizontally into the center of the thickest part of the piece of protein. Refer to the chart on the adjacent page on further thermometer placement instructions.
  7. When the unit has preheated and “ADD FOOD” appears on the screen, open the hood, place food with inserted thermometer in the unit, and close the hood over the thermometer cord.
  8. The progress bar at the top of the display will track doneness. Flashing doneness indicates progression to that doneness. The display will switch between probes 1 and 2 every 10 seconds.
  9. The unit will automatically stop when desired doneness is almost reached, as it accounts for carry-over cooking, and “GET FOOD” will display on the screen.
  10. Transfer the protein to a plate while “REST” displays on the screen. Thermometer does not need to still be inserted. The protein will continue to carry-over cook to your set doneness, which will take about 3–5 minutes. This is an important step, as not resting could lead to results looking “less” cooked. Carryover 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 : DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner than 1 inch.
    NOTE : To check the internal temperature of other pieces of protein, press and hold MANUAL and insert the thermometer into each piece of meat.

CLEANING YOUR NINJA® FOODI® DUAL THERMOMETER SMART XL GRILL

The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every 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 cooking pot, grill grate, crisper basket, splatter shield, cleaning brush, and any other included accessories are dishwasher safe, except the thermometer. DO NOT place the thermometer in the dishwasher.

  • For the best dishwasher cleaning results, we recommend rinsing the grill grate, crisper basket, splatter shield, and any other accessories with warm water before placing them in the dishwasher.

  • If hand-washing, we recommend using the included cleaning brush to help wash the parts. Use the opposite end of the cleaning brush as a scraper to assist with releasing baked-on sauces or cheese. Air-dry or towel dry all parts after hand-washing.
    NOTE : DO NOT use liquid cleaning solution on or near the thermometer jack. We recommend using compressed air or a cotton swab to avoid damaging the jack.

  • If food residue or grease are stuck on the grill grate, splatter shield, or any other removable part, soak in warm soapy water before cleaning.

  • Clean the splatter shield after every use. Soaking the splatter shield overnight will help soften the baked-on grease. After soaking, use the cleaning brush 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 room temperature water and allow to dry completely.

  • The Foodi Smart Thermometer and holder are hand-wash only. DO NOT immerse any part of the thermometer in water or any other liquid. We recommend cleaning with a damp cloth only.

  • NOTE : NEVER use abrasive tools or cleaners. NEVER immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.

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 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.

  • “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 Foodi™ Smart Thermometer section.

  • Why does the preheat progress bar not start from the beginning?
    When the unit is warm from previously being used, it will not require the full preheating time.

  • 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 START/STOP button.

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

  • Why is my 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?
    When the hood is opened during a cooking function, 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 Ninja® Foodi® Dual Thermometer Smart XL Grill’s high temperatures.

  • My food is burned.
    Do not add food until recommended preheat time is complete. For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food when desired level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.

  • 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 for each doneness level so you can customize doneness to your liking.

We also ask that you register your product online at registeryourninja.com and have the product on hand when you call, so we may better assist you. A Customer Service Specialist will provide you with return and packing instruction information.

How state law applies
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you also may have other rights that vary from state to state. Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
