IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Read all instructions before using your Ninja® Foodi™ TenderCrisp™ Pressure Cooker.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING

1 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.

2 To reduce the risk of electric shock,

cook only in the pot provided or in a container recommended by SharkNinja placed in the provided pot. DO NOT use the appliance without the removable cooking pot installed.

3 To eliminate a choking hazard for

young children, remove and discard the protective cover ﬁtted on the power plug of this appliance.

4 ALWAYS ensure the appliance is

properly assembled before use.

5 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 handles and knobs.

6 Intended for countertop use only.

Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry.

7 DO NOT place appliance on or

near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

8 This appliance cooks under

pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See Operating Instructions.

9 To protect against electrical shock

do not immerse cord, plugs, cooker base, or crisping lid in water or other liquid. DO NOT rinse these parts under the tap.

10 DO NOT cover the pressure valves. 11 Unplug from outlet when not in

use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking o parts.

12 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.

13 DO NOT move the appliance

when in use.

14 Only use the side handles to carry

or move the appliance.

15 Removable cooking pot can be

extremely heavy when full of ingredients. Care should be taken when lifting pot from cooker base.

16 DO NOT place food or liquid

directly into the unit without the pot installed. Only the removable cooking pot is designed to contain food or liquid.

17 To prevent risk of explosion

and injury, use only SharkNinja silicone rings. DO NOT use if torn or damaged.

18 Before placing removable cooking

pot into the cooker base, ensure pot and base are dry by wiping with a soft cloth.

19 DO NOT sauté or fry with oil while

pressure cooking.

20 NEVER use SLOW COOK setting

without food and liquids in the removable cooking pot.

21 DO NOT use this appliance for

deep frying.

22 DO NOT exceed the cooking pot’s

PRESSURE MAX ﬁll level when pressure cooking. Overﬁlling may cause personal injury or property damage or aect the safe use of the appliance.

23 When 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.

24 ALWAYS follow the maximum and

minimum quantities of liquid as stated in instructions and recipes.

25 Foods such as applesauce,

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 if following a Ninja Foodi recipe.

26 Before 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.

27 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. If the lid will not turn to unlock, this indicates the appliance is still under pressure—DO NOT force lid open. Any pressure remaining can be hazardous. Let unit naturally release pressure or turn the Pressure Release Valve 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.

28 ALWAYS keep hands, face, and

other body parts away from the pressure release valve prior to or during pressure release. Additional steam may escape when opening the pressure lid.

29 DO NOT use a damaged

removable cooking pot, silicone ring, or lid. Replace before using.

30 A LWAYS ensure silicone ring is

installed and lid is properly closed before operating.

31 Close adult supervision is

necessary when this appliance is near children.

During this time, the unit will switch to Keep Warm mode. Press the KEEP WARM button if you would like to turn Keep Warm mode o. When natural pressure release is complete, the red ﬂoat valve will drop down.

Quick Pressure Release: Use ONLY if your recipe calls for it. Whe pressure cooking is complete and the KEEP WARM light is on, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to instantly release pressure through the valve.

Even after releasing pressure naturally or using the pressure release valve, some steam will remain in the unit and will escape when the lid is opened. Lift and tilt it away from you, making sure no condensation drips into the cooker base.

ENGLISH

PRESSURIZING

As pressure builds in the unit, the control panel will display rotating lights. Pressurizing time varies, depending on the amount of ingredients and liquid in the pot. As the unit pressurizes, the lid will lock as a safety measure, and it will not unlock until pressure is released. Once the unit has reached full pressure, the lid pressure icon light will glow steadily. The pressure cooking cycle will begin and the timer will start counting down.

7 Turn the pressure release valve to the

VENT position to quick release the pressurized steam. A quick burst of steam will spurt out of the pressure release valve. When steam is completely released, the unit will be ready to open.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Why is my unit taking so long to come to pressure? How long does it take to come to pressure?

• Cooking times may vary based on the selected temperature, current temperature of the cooking pot, and temperature or quantity of the ingredients.

• Check to make sure your silicone ring is fully seated and ﬂush against the lid. If installed correctly, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.

• Check that the pressure lid is fully locked, and the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position when pressure cooking.

Why is the time counting down so slowly?

• You may have set hours rather than minutes. When setting time, the display will show HH:MM and the time will increase/decrease in minute increments.

How can I tell when the unit is pressurizing?

• The rotating lights will display on the screen to indicate the unit is building pressure.

Lights are rotating on the display screen when using the Pressure or Steam function.

• This indicates the unit is building pressure or preheating when using STEAM or PRESSURE. When the unit has ﬁnished building pressure, your set cook time will begin counting down.

There is a lot of steam coming from my unit when using the Steam function.

• It’s normal for steam to release through the pressure release valve during cooking. Leave the pressure release valve in the VENT position for Steam, Slow Cook, and Sear/Sauté.

Why can’t I take the pressure lid o?

• As a safety feature, the pressure lid will not unlock until the unit is completely depressurized. To release pressure, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to quick release the pressurized steam. A quick burst of steam will spurt out of the pressure release valve. When the steam is completely released, the unit will be ready to open. Turn the pressure lid counterclockwise, then lift it up and away from you.

Is the pressure release valve supposed to be loose?

• Yes. The pressure release valve’s loose ﬁt is intentional; it enables a quick and easy transition between SEAL and VENT and helps regulate pressure by releasing small amounts of steam during cooking to ensure great results. Please make sure it is turned as far as possible toward the SEAL position when pressure cooking and as far as possible toward the VENT position when quick releasing.

The unit is hissing and not reaching pressure.

• Make sure the pressure release valve is turned to the SEAL position. If you’ve done this and still hear a loud hissing noise, it may indicate your silicone seal is not fully in place. Press START/STOP to stop cooking, VENT as necessary, and remove the pressure lid. Press down on the silicone ring, ensuring it is fully inserted and lies ﬂat under the ring rack. Once fully installed, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.

The unit is counting up rather than down.

• The cooking cycle is complete and the unit is in Keep Warm mode.

How long does the unit take to depressurize?

• Quick release is about 2 minutes or less. Natural release can take up to 20 minutes or more, depending on the type of food and/or the amount of ingredients in the pot.

“POT” error message appears on display screen.

• Cooking pot is not inside the cooker base. Cooking pot is required for all functions.

“LID” error message appears on display screen and lid icon ﬂashes.

• The incorrect lid is installed for your desired cooking function. Place the pressure lid on the unit if you want to use the Pressure, Slow Cook, Steam, Sear/Sauté, or Keep Warm functions and ensure it is in the closed position.

“SHUT” error message appears on display screen.

• The crisping lid is open and needs to be closed for the selected function to start.

“VENT” error message appears on display screen.

• When set to Slow Cook or Sear/Sauté, and the unit senses pressure building up, this message indicates the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position.

• Turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position and leave it there for the remainder of the cooking function.

• If you do not turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position within 5 minutes, the program will cancel and the unit will shut o.

“WATR” error message appears on display screen when using the Steam function.

• The water level is too low. Add more water to the unit for the function to continue.

“WATR” error message appears on display screen when using the Pressure function.

• Add more liquid to the cooking pot before restarting the pressure cook cycle.

• Make sure the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position.

• Make sure the silicone ring is installed correctly.

“HOT” error message appears on display screen.

• This indicates the unit has overheated. Let the unit cool down.

• Once unit has cooled down, ensure there is no food caked on the bottom of the pot and there is enough liquid in the pot for the recipe you are preparing.

“ERR1,” “ERR2,” “ERR3,” “ERR4,” “ERR5,” “ERR6.”

• The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288.

HELPFUL TIPS

ONE (1) YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

ENGLISH

1 For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the

bottom of the cooking pot with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping, make sure to shake half way through the set cook time.

2 For smaller ingredients that could fall through the reversible rack, we recommend ﬁrst

wrapping them in a parchment paper or foil pouch.

3 When switching from pressure cooking to using the crisping lid it is recommended

to empty the pot of any remaining liquid for best crisping results.

4 Press and hold down the Time Up or Down arrows to move faster through the display

to get to your desired time.

5 Use the Keep Warm mode to keep food at a warm, food-safe temperature after cooking.

To prevent food from drying out, we recommend keeping the lid closed and using this function just before serving. To reheat food, use the Air Crisp function.

6 To have your unit build pressure quicker, set it to SEAR/SAUTÉ HIGH. Once ready to

pressure cook, press the PRESSURE button and continue as you normally would.
