Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Ninja Crispi Air Fryer.

• PowerPod: The PowerPod contains electrical components and should NEVER be submerged in water. To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the heating element, ensure the unit is unplugged and completely cool, then gently wipe with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove any food residue.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Ninja Crispi Air Fryer, please refer to the following general advice:

• Unit Not Turning On: Ensure the PowerPod is securely plugged into a functioning 3-prong electrical outlet. Check if the PowerPod is correctly seated on the container (or adapter for the 4-quart container).
• Food Not Cooking Evenly: Ensure not to overcrowd the crisper plate. For best results, arrange food in a single layer. Flip or shake food halfway through the cooking cycle.
• PowerPod Shuts Off During Operation: The PowerPod has a safety feature that automatically turns it off if it is lifted from the container during cooking. Simply place it back securely to resume.
• Smoke Emitting from Unit: A small amount of smoke may occur during initial use. If excessive smoke occurs, unplug the unit immediately and allow it to cool. Ensure the crisper plate and container are clean and free of excess oil or food debris.
