IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

22 To disconnect, turn the Function Dial to “Off”,

then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

23 This appliance has a cut off switch which

will not allow the appliance to heat if the
cooking pot is not inserted into the housing or
removed while cooking.

24 THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Do not use this

appliance for anything other than its intended
use. Not for commercial use.

25 To avoid the possibility of the cooking system

being accidentally being pulled off the counter
top or tabletop, which could result in damage
to the cooking system or personal injur y, do
not let the power cord hang over the edge of
the counter or table.

26 Leaving food out too long at room

temperature can cause bacteria to grow to
dangerous levels that can cause illnesses. In
the event of a loss of power, an error message
will display on the unit. It is recommended
to dispose of any food that has been at room
temperature for more than an hour.

NOTE: This unit has a short power

supply cord to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a long
cord. A longer extension cord may be used if
you are careful in its use.

1. If using a longer extension cord, the electrical
rating of the extension cord should be rated
at least 15 amperes. Extension cords rated for
less amperage may overheat.

2. A longer extension cord must be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over accidentally.

3. The appliance is not intended to be operated
by means of an external timer or separate

Using the Different Functions

OVEN

Preparing to Use the Ninja® 3-in-1 Cooking System

Before using the cooking system for the first time:

1 Carefully remove all the parts from the box. Wash the

cooking pot, roasting rack, silicone mitts, multi-purpose
pan, trivet and the roasting lid with warm, soapy water.
The cooking pot may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The roasting lid, trivet, multi-purpose pan, silicone mitts
and roasting rack are not dishwasher safe. Do not place
the main housing in water or in the dishwasher. Wipe it
clean with a damp cloth.
NOTE: Remove the prong protectors from the multi­purpose pan before using.

2 When ready to use, place the cooking pot inside the

main housing. Never use the cooking system without
the cooking pot inserted into the housing.

3 Plug the unit into the wall outlet.

4 The cooking system will not turn “On” as long as the

Function Dial is in the “Off” position.

5 When ready to start the appliance, turn the Function

Dial to the function that you want. The red Power light
will light up indicating that the appliance is on.

6 Follow instructions on the following pages on how to

use the different functions.

7 Always use the silicone trivet to place the hot cooking

pot when removing it from the cooking system.

Stovetop:

1 Place the cooking pot inside the housing.

2 Place the food that you wish to cook inside the pot in

an even layer for best results.

3 Set the Function Dial to the desired Stovetop mode to

get the appliance heated. The LED Display will show
“On” and the Power light will turn on.

4 When you have finished using the unit, turn the

Function Dial to “Off” and then unplug the unit and
allow it to cool completely before handling.

NOTE: The appliance will not function if the cooking

pot is not inside the main housing.

TIP: When you want to sear meats, set the Stovetop to

“High”.

To sauté vegetables, set the Stovetop to “Med” or

“High”.

Slow Cook:

The 5.7 L capacity makes this an ideal slow cooker for the
entire family. The Low and High settings automatically
switch to Auto Warm after the cooking is complete to
keep the food warm. Use the Stovetop function on “High”
to sear meats and vegetables before slow cooking to
enhance flavors and create gourmet meals.

Do not exceed the top of the cooking pot when filling with
food. This could result in the food boiling over.

1 Place the ingredients into the cooking pot and place the

lid on top.

2 Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.

3 Turn the Function Dial to either Low or High under Slow

Cook depending on the recipe instructions. The LED
Display will show “8:00” or “4:00” depending on the
slow cook setting that is selected and the Power Light
will turn on.

4 The Display Screen will show “8:00” hours for Low

setting and “4:00” hours for High setting. Turn the
Adjustment Dial to set the desired time. The time will
increase or decrease in 30 minute increments for up to
12 hours. The timer will begin counting down after 3
seconds. Do not lift the lid continuously while cooking.

5 After the cooking process is done, the unit will switch to

Auto Warm for up to 12 hours.

6 When you have finished using the unit, turn the Function

Dial to “Off” and then unplug the unit and allow it to
cool completely before handling.

Steam Infused Cooking:

Steam Infused Cooking cooks foods fast and healthy all
by the introduction of steam during the cooking process.
The Steam Roasting technique can be applied to a variety
of meats you would traditionally roast in your oven. Some
cuts of meat benefit from searing BEFORE roasting while
other cuts benefit from searing AFTER roasting, refer to the
recipes in the included Inspiration Guide.

1 No preheating is required when searing before

roasting.

2 Most meats can be seared for less than 10 minutes. You

do not want to cook the meat, simply brown the meat
to add color.

3 Add water to the bottom of the cooking pot. In general,

235 ml of water equals 10 minutes of steam time.

4 If additional water is required during the cooking

process, cautiously lift the lid away from you and add
room temperature water. Water should NOT exceed
the roasting rack or touch the food as that will result in
poaching.

Use caution when placing hot meats on roasting rack.

CAUTION: DO NOT add any liquids to the base of the

main housing of the appliance.

Oven

Variable temperatures from 120°C to 220°C make this
an ideal oven for roasting meats and vegetables and for
baking. The programmable timer can be set in 5 minute
intervals for up to 6 hours.

Using the Oven mode for Roasting:

1 Place the food on the Roasting rack and lower into the

cooking pot. Cover with the lid.

2 Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.

3 Turn the Function Dial to Oven. The Power light will

illuminate.

4 The Display Screen will show “180”. Turn the

Adjustment Dial to set the temperature. The
temperature will adjust in 10° increments up to 220°.
Press the Time/Oven Temp button once and then turn
the Adjustment Dial to set the cooking time. The time
is pre-set at “1:00” hour and will increase in 5 minute
increments up to a total of 6 hours.

5 The timer will begin counting down after 3 seconds.

The time and temperature can be adjusted during the
cooking cycle. Press the Time/Oven Temp button and
then turn the Adjustment Dial to change the time or the
temperature.

6 Once cooking is complete the timer will blink for 2

minutes. At the end of the 2 minutes, the power will
shut off.

IMPORTANT: Use caution when handling hot foods.

7 When you have finished using the unit, turn the

Function Dial to “Off”, unplug the unit and allow it to
cool completely before handling.

Hints & Tips

1 Cooking times may vary based on the selected

temperature, the current temperature of the cooking
pot and the temperature of the ingredients.

2 Always use nonstick utensils in the cooking pot and

multi purpose pan. Metal utensils may damage the
non-stick coating.

3 For even browning, make sure that the food is in an

even layer on the bottom of the cooking pot or roasting
rack.

4 Cooking time and temperature can be adjusted at

any time during the cooking cycle in Slow Cook and
Oven. Press the Time/Oven Temp button and turn the
Adjustment Dial to adjust.

5 Cooked foods may not brown or crisp on top as much

as in a conventional oven. Instead foods will brown on
the bottom and crisp on the bottom and sides.

6 If you do not manually set a temperature and time, the

unit will automatically start at the preset temperature
and time.

7 Multiple modes may be required to cook recipes. To

change modes during cooking cycles, simply turn the
Function Dial to select the new desired mode. Once the
new mode is selected, begin the programming process.

8 If the cooking pot is removed during the cooking cycle

and then placed back into the unit, the cooking process
will continue as though it was not interrupted.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The Ninja® 3-in-1 Cooking System should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

1 Unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

2 Never immerse the main housing in water or any other liquid.

3 To clean the main housing and the control panel, wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
