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 A L W A Y S 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 worktop 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 cooker 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™ Tendercrisp™ Pressure Cookerrecipe.

24 ALWAYS follow the maximum and

minimum quantities of liquid as stated in instructions and recipes.

25 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 if following a Ninja Foodi™ Tendercrisp™ Pressure Cooker recipe.

26 Before use, A LWAY S 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 ALWAY S 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 LWAY S ensure Silicone ring is

installed and lid is properly closed before operating.

31 Close adult supervision is

necessary when this appliance is used near children.

36 To avoid risk of scalding or

cooker malfunctioning, make sure Silicone seal is cleaned and properly attached to lid before cooking.

37 When removable cooking pot is

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

38 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.

40 DO NOT use this unit to cook

instant rice.

41 When using SLOW COOK or

SEAR/SAUTÉ settings, ALWAYS keep the pressure lid closed and the pressure release valve in the VENT position.

46 DO NOT cover the air intake vent

or air outlet vent while crisping lid is closed. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.

47 When unit is in operation, hot

steam is released through the air outlet vent. Place unit so vent is not directed toward the power cord, outlets, or other appliances. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from vent.

approximately 30 minutes before handling, cleaning, or storing.

52 To avoid possible steam damage,

place the unit away from walls and cabinets during use.

53 When using this appliance,

54 DO NOT use the cooking pot,
