Before First Use:

4. Operating Instructions

General Usage:

• Always ensure the pan is clean and lightly greased before adding ingredients.
• Place the tube pan directly into the cooking pot of your Ninja Foodi.
• Follow your recipe's instructions for cooking times and temperatures when using the Air Crisp, Bake, or Pressure Cook functions.
• When baking, the central tube helps distribute heat evenly, which is beneficial for cakes, bread, and other baked goods.
• After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly before attempting to remove the baked item.

Removing Baked Goods:

The two-piece design simplifies removal:

1. Once cooled, carefully lift the outer ring of the pan away from the base and the central tube.
2. The baked item will remain on the base with the central tube.
3. Gently slide the baked item off the central tube and base onto a cooling rack or serving plate.

5. Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions:

• Hand Wash Only: This tube pan is NOT dishwasher safe. Washing in a dishwasher can damage the non-stick coating and affect its performance.
• Wash the pan with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can scratch and damage the non-stick surface.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the pan's finish.

Storage:

Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pans to protect the non-stick coating from scratches.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan was properly greased before adding ingredients. The non-stick coating may wear over time; re-seasoning with a light coat of oil and baking at a low temperature for a short period can help. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the coating.
• Uneven Baking: Verify that the pan is placed correctly within the Ninja Foodi cooking pot. Ensure the Foodi's vents are clear and that the appliance is operating as per its own instruction manual.
• Difficulty Cleaning: For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a short period before gently scrubbing with a soft sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools.
