Important Safeguards

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

⚠️ WARNING

1. Read all instructions prior to using the oven and its accessories.
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. If food contents were to catch fire during cooking, DO NOT open the oven door.
   • If you can safely do so, unplug the oven immediately.
   • DO NOT throw water onto the fire. Food contents may contain grease and water may cause fire growth.
   • If fire were to emit from the oven door, call the fire department immediately.
   • DO NOT use the oven after it has experienced a fire, it may have been damaged and present a risk of fire or shock.
4. To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, discard all packaging materials immediately upon unpacking.
5. Take inventory of all contents to ensure you have all parts needed to properly and safely operate your oven.
6. DO NOT use an extension cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
7. NEVER use outlet below counter level.
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 used near children.
9. DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating ovens.
10. NEVER leave the oven unattended while in use.
11. DO NOT place any object directly onto the heating elements and DO NOT cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with aluminum foil. This will cause the oven to overheat or cause a fire.
12. DO NOT use the oven with crumb tray incorrectly installed. Crumb tray MUST be placed below lower heating elements.
13. To protect against electrical shock DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid.
14. DO NOT use the oven with damage to the power cord or plug. Regularly inspect the oven and power cord. If the oven malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.
15. DO NOT cover the air intake vents or air outlet vents while unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
16. DO NOT insert anything in the ventilation slots and do not obstruct them.
17. DO NOT place items on top of surface while unit is operating except for authorized recommended Ninja® accessories.
18. Before placing any accessories into the oven ensure they are clean and dry.
19. Intended for countertop use only. DO NOT place the oven near the edge of a countertop on or near a hot gas or electric burner. Ensure the surface is level, clean and dry.

23. DO NOT use accessory and attachments not recommended or sold by SharkNinja.
24. When using this oven, provide adequate space (at least 1 inch above and on all sides) for air circulation.
25. A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, or the like when in operation.
26. This oven has a tempered glass door and is more resistant to breakage. Avoid scratching door surface or nicking edges.
27. DO NOT place anything directly on heating elements and DO NOT use the oven without a wire rack or air fry basket installed.
28. DO NOT spray any type of aerosol spray or flavoring inside the oven while cooking.
29. Use caution when inserting and removing anything from the oven, especially when hot.
30. Outlet voltages can vary, affecting the performance of your product. To prevent possible illness, use a thermometer to check that your food is cooked to the temperatures recommended.
31. Prevent food contact with heating elements. Excessive food loads may cause personal injury or property damage or affect the safe use of the oven.
32. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
33. With the exception of parchment paper, DO NOT place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, roasting bags and the like.
34. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of any materials other than metal or glass.
35. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Oven surfaces and glass door are hot during and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, ALWAYS use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts and use available handles. ?
36. Spilled food can cause serious burns. Extreme caution must be used when the oven contains hot food. Improper use may result in personal injury.
37. Please refer to the Cleaning & Maintenance section for regular maintenance of the oven.

Diagram Description: An exploded view of the main unit and its accessories: Air Fry Basket, Roast Tray, Sheet Pan, Wire Racks, and Removable Crumb Tray.

IMPORTANT: Place crumb tray below lower heating elements. DO NOT slide into any rack positions.

COMMON-SENSE PRACTICES/GOOD HABITS:

• DO NOT leave your toaster oven unattended while making food. If possible, unplug the oven while not in use to eliminate the possibility of accidents occurring.
• Have a fire extinguisher or fire containment blanket handy in a safe, known location. If you don't have a fire extinguisher, douse the flames with baking soda until they are put out.
• If a fire occurs and the food in the oven is not greasy, immediately unplug the unit and douse the flames with water until the fire is extinguished. DO NOT use water if grease is present, since it could make the fire worse. Use baking soda instead.

Accessory Placement

Diagram Description: An illustration showing the interior of the oven with four distinct rack positions labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4 from bottom to top. The control panel display is shown with indicators for rack levels.

The oven has 4 available rack positions where your accessories can slide into the unit (see image above). When you select a function, the corresponding rack number(s) will illuminate on the control panel. The numbers on the control panel (see Fig. 1) will coincide with those on the interior of the unit. See the chart on page 8 for further details.

Before First Use

1. Remove and discard any packaging material, promotional labels, and tape from the unit.
2. Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
3. Wash the air fry basket, sheet pan, wire rack, roast tray, and removable crumb tray in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. DO NOT put sheet pan, roast tray, or removable crumb tray in the dishwasher. Finishes may degrade. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.

We recommend placing all accessories inside the oven and running it on Air Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes without adding food. This removes any residues. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the performance of the oven.

NOTE: The accessories are hand-wash recommended. The air fry basket and wire racks can be put in the dishwasher, but may wear more quickly over time.

5. When using accessories, we recommend greasing them with recommended cooking oil, or covering them with parchment paper or aluminum foil before placing food on top. DO NOT cover roast tray holes with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

NOTE: Empty crumb tray frequently. Hand-wash when necessary.

DEEP CLEANING

1. Unplug the unit from the outlet and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
