followed, including the following:

WARNING

1 T his appliance can be used by

children aged from 8 years and
above and 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.

2 Keep the appliance and its cord

out of reach of children less than
8 years.

3 To eliminate a choking hazard for

young children, remove and discard

4 Children shall not play with

the appliance.

5 N E V E R use socket below counter.
6 N E V E R connect this appliance

to an external timer switch or
separate remote-control system.

7 DO NOT use an extension cord.

A short power-supply cord is used
to reduce the risk of children less
than 8 years grabbing the cord
or becoming entangled and to
reduce the risk of people tripping
over a longer cord.

8 To protect against electrical shock

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

12 DO 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.

13 Use only SharkNinja Silicone

closed before operating. DO NOT
use if torn or damaged. Replace
before using.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

35 DO 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

36 Extreme 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.

37 Caution 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.

38 When 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.

39 DO 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.

40 When 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

41 When using the PRESSURE COOK

setting, ALWAYS keep the pressure
lid locked and the pressure release
valve turned anticlockwise to the

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.

burns. Keep appliance and cord
away from children. DO NOT let
cord hang over edge of tables or
counters or touch hot surfaces.

when removing.

45 When removable cooking pot is

empty, DO NOT heat it for more
than 10 minutes, as doing so may
damage the cooking surface.

46 The cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™

Basket, and reversible rack become
extremely hot during the cooking
process. Avoid hot steam and air
