Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Ninja French Door Premier, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your circuit breaker.
• Food is not cooking evenly: Ensure food is arranged in a single layer in the basket/pan. Avoid overcrowding. For some functions, flipping or rotating food halfway through cooking may be necessary.
• Excessive smoke: This can be caused by fat drippings burning on the heating elements or crumb tray. Ensure the crumb tray is clean. Use a small amount of water in the drip tray for very fatty foods if recommended in the recipe book.
• Appliance emits an unusual odor during first use: This is normal for new appliances and should dissipate after initial use.
• Digital display not working: Unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in to reset. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
