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 the 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.

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.

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.

25 A fire may occur if the oven is covered or

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.

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.

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.

rack positions.

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 submerse 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.
