Unplug the unit from the outlet and wait until the unit is fully cooled before cleaning. Part/ Accessory Cleaning Method Dishwasher Safe? To clean the main unit and the control panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Main Unit NOTE: NEVER immerse the main unit in water No or any other liquid. NEVER clean the main unit in a dishwasher. Baskets, Crisper Plates, and Stacked Meal Racks These can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand. If hand-washing, air-dry or towel-dry all parts after use. *To extend the life of the baskets, crisper plates, and stacked meal racks, we recommend hand-washing them. Yes* If food residue is stuck on the baskets and/or crisper plates, place them in a sink filled with warm, soapy water and allow to soak before washing. HELPFUL TIPS 1 For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the basket with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping, make sure to shake them halfway through the set cook time. 2 Cook temperature and time can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply select the Zone you want to adjust, then press the TEMP or TIME button and use the arrows to make an adjustment. 3 To convert conventional oven recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking. 4 Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. To alleviate this, secure foods (like the top slice of bread on a sandwich) with wooden toothpicks. 5 After selecting a cooking function, you can press START/PAUSE to begin cooking immediately. The unit will run at the default temperature and time. 6 For best results with fresh vegetables and potatoes, use at least 1 tablespoon of oil. Add more oil as desired to achieve the preferred level of crispiness. 7 For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food when desired level of brownness has been achieved. We recommend using an instant-read thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of meat and fish. 8 To avoid overcooking, remove food immediately after the cook time ends. 9 ninjakitchen.com TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE · How do I adjust the temperature or time while using a single zone? Select the active zone, then press TEMP and use the arrows to adjust the temperature, or press TIME and use the arrows to adjust the time. · How do I adjust the temperature or time while using DoubleStackTM Technology? Select the desired zone, press TEMP and use the arrows to adjust the temperature, or press TIME and use the arrows to adjust the time. · Does the unit need to preheat? No, the unit does not need to preheat. · Can I cook different foods in each zone and not worry about cross contamination? Yes, both zones are self-contained with separate heating elements and fans. · How do I pause the countdown timer? The countdown timer will pause automatically when you remove a basket from the unit. Reinsert basket within 10 minutes to resume cooking, or cooking in the zone with the basket not in place will be cancelled. · How do I stop cooking in one zone when using both zones? First press that zone's button, then press START/PAUSE. To stop both zones, simply press START/PAUSE. · Are the baskets safe to put on my countertop? The baskets will heat up during cooking, so use caution when handling. Place them on heat-resistant surfaces only. · When should I use the crisper plate(s)? Use the crisper plates when you want food to come out crispy. The plates elevate food in the baskets so that air can flow under and around ingredients to cook and crisp them evenly. · Why didn't my food cook fully? Make sure the basket is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, ensure ingredients are arranged in an even layer in the basket with no overlapping. Shake basket to toss ingredients for even crispiness. Cook temperature and time can be adjusted at any time during cooking if you'd like to increase the temperature or cook food longer. · Why is my food burned?

Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use wooden toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice of bread on a sandwich. · Can I air fry wet, battered ingredients? Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It's important to coat foods first with flour, then with egg, and then with breadcrumbs. Press breadcrumbs firmly onto the battered ingredients, so crumbs won't be blown off by the fan. · Why is the unit beeping?
