IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Read and review instructions for operation and use .
Take care to avoid contacts with hot surface . Always use hand protection to avoid burns .
For indoor and household use only.
Read all instructions before using your Ninja® FoodiTM Deluxe TendercrispTM Pressure Cooker.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
1This 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.
2Keep 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.
3To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and discard the protective cover fitted on the power plug of this appliance.
4Children shall not play with the appliance.
5NEVER use socket below counter.
6NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system.
7DO 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.
8To protect against electrical shock DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid. Cook only in the pot provided or in a container recommended by SharkNinja placed in the provided pot.
9Regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. DO NOT use the appliance if there is damage to the power cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged
in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.
10ALWAYS ensure the appliance is properly assembled before use.
11Before use, ALWAYS check pressure release valve and red float valve
for clogging or obstruction, and clean them if necessary. Check to make sure the red float valve on the pressure lid moves freely. Foods such as apple sauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
spaghetti can foam, froth, and splutter when pressure cooked, clogging the pressure release valve. These and similar expanding foods (such as dried vegetables, beans, grains, and rice) should not be cooked in a pressure cooker, except when following a Ninja Foodi recipe.
12DO NOT cover the air intake vent or air socket vent while crisping lid is closed. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
13To prevent risk of explosion and injury, use only SharkNinja Silicone rings. Make certain silicone ring is installed and lid is properly closed before operating. DO NOT use if torn or damaged. Replace before using.
14Before placing removable cooking pot into the cooker base, ensure pot and cooker base are clean and dry by wiping with a soft cloth.
15This appliance is for household use only. DO NOT use this appliance for anything other than its intended use. DO NOT use in moving vehicles or boats. DO NOT use outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.
16Intended for worktop use only. Ensure the surface is level, clean and dry. DO NOT move the appliance when in use.
17DO NOT place appliance on hot surfaces or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
18DO NOT use accessory attachments not recommended or sold by SharkNinja. DO NOT place accessories in a microwave, toaster oven, convection oven, or conventional oven or on a ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas burner range, or outdoor grill. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by SharkNinja may cause fire, electric shock, or injuries.
19When using this appliance, provide adequate space above and on all sides for air circulation.
20ALWAYS follow the maximum and minimum quantities of liquid as stated in instructions and recipes.
21NEVER use SLOW COOK setting without food and liquids in the removable cooking pot.
22DO NOT use the appliance without the removable cooking pot installed.
23DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying.
24DO NOT cover the pressure valves.
25DO NOT sauté or fry with oil while pressure cooking.
26Prevent food contact with heating elements. DO NOT overfill or exceed the MAX fill level when cooking. Overfilling may cause personal injury or property damage or affect the safe use of the appliance.
27When pressure cooking foods that expand (such as dried vegetables, beans, grains, rice, etc.). DO NOT fill pot more than halfway, or as otherwise instructed in a Ninja® Foodi™ recipe.
28DO NOT use this unit to cook instant rice.
29To prevent food contact with the heating elements, DO NOT overfill the
Cook & Crisp™ Basket.
30Use extreme caution when closing the crisping lid, taking care that nothing is caught in or pinched by the hinge.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
31Socket 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.
32DO NOT place the appliance near the edge of a worktop during operation.
33To avoid possible steam damage, place the unit away from walls and cabinets during use.
34Should the unit emit black smoke, unplug immediately and wait for smoking to stop before removing the cooking pot and Cook & Crisp™ Basket.
35DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Appliance surfaces 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 and knobs.
36Extreme caution must be used when the cooker contains hot oil, hot food, or hot liquids, or if the cooker is under pressure. Improper use, including moving the cooker, may result in personal injury. When using this appliance to pressure cook, ensure the lid is properly assembled and locked into position before use.
37Caution should be used when searing meats and sautéing in hot oil. Keep hands and face away from the removable cooking pot, especially when adding new ingredients, as hot oil may splatter.
38When unit is in operation, hot steam is released through the air socket vent. Place unit so vent is not directed toward the power cord, sockets, or other appliances. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from vent.
39DO NOT attempt to open the lid during or after pressure cooking until all internal pressure has been released through the pressure release valve and the unit has cooled slightly.
DO NOT tamper with, disassemble, or otherwise remove the red float valve or pressure release assembly.
40When using SLOW COOK or SEAR/ SAUTÉ settings, ALWAYS keep the pressure lid closed and the pressure release valve in the VENT position.
If the lid is closed and the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position, an audible alarm will sound. “VENT” error code will appear on LED display to signal the need to turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position.
41When using the PRESSURE COOK setting, ALWAYS keep the pressure lid locked and the pressure release valve turned anticlockwise to the SEAL position.
42If the lid will not turn to unlock, this indicates the appliance is still under pressure. Any pressure remaining can be hazardous. Let unit naturally release pressure or turn the Pressure Release Valve slowly to the VENT position to release steam. Take care to avoid contact with the releasing steam to avoid burns or injury. When the steam is completely released, the red float valve will be in the lower position allowing the lid to be removed.
43Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces.
44ALWAYS keep hands, face, and other body parts away from the pressure release valve prior to or during pressure release and when removing the pressure lid after cooking. Serious burns can result from the steam inside. ALWAYS lift and tilt the lid away from you when removing.
45When removable cooking pot is empty, DO NOT heat it for more than 10 minutes, as doing so may damage the cooking surface.
46The cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™ Basket, and reversible rack become extremely hot during the cooking process. Avoid hot steam and air while removing the cooking pot and Cook & Crisp™ Basket from the appliance, and ALWAYS place them on a heat
resistant surface after removing. DO NOT touch accessories during or immediately after cooking.
47Removable cooking pot can be extremely heavy when full of ingredients. Care should be taken when lifting pot from cooker base.
48Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children.
49Let the appliance cool for approximately 30 minutes before handling, cleaning, or storing.
50To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning, disassembly, putting in or taking off parts and for storage
51DO NOT clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
52Please refer to the Cleaning & Maintenance section for regular maintenance of the appliance.
Take care to avoid coming into contact with a hot surface.
