Troubleshooting
- Preheating: No, the appliance does not require preheating.
- Max Crisp vs. Air Fry: Use Max Crisp for best results with frozen pre-cooked items like french fries or chicken nuggets.
- "LID" Error: The Crispi PowerPod is not properly attached or aligned on the Ninja glass container. Ensure it is aligned and seated evenly. If using the adapter, ensure the PowerPod is fully inserted into the adapter.
- Pausing Cooking: Press the START/POWER button or remove the Crispi PowerPod from the container; cooking will pause automatically.
- Placing Crispi PowerPod on Countertop: Yes, the appliance can be safely placed on any countertop with or without the adapter.
- Placing Ninja Glass Containers on Countertop: Yes, the heat-resistant base allows safe placement on any countertop.
- Using the Crispy Plate: Use the plate whenever you want crispy food. It lifts food in the container, allowing air to circulate underneath for even cooking and crisping.
- Uneven Cooking: Ensure the Crispi PowerPod is properly attached. Arrange ingredients in a single layer without overcrowding. Use Safe-to-Touch handles to shake ingredients for even cooking. Time and mode can be adjusted anytime.
- Food Burnt: It is recommended to monitor the cooking process and remove food promptly once desired browning is achieved. Remove food immediately after the cooking time ends to prevent overcooking.
- Light Ingredients Lifting: The fan may lift light ingredients. Use wooden skewers to secure light items like the top slice of bread on a sandwich.
- Battered Foods: Yes, but use the correct breading technique: first flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press the coating firmly onto the ingredients so crumbs do not detach from the fan.
- Beeping Sound: The appliance beeps at the start and end of cooking.
- Screen Black: The unit is in standby mode. Press START/POWER to turn it back on.
