WARNING
1 This 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.
2 Keep 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.
3 To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, discard all packaging materials immediately upon unpacking.
4 DO NOT place appliance on a stovetop
or hot surfaces or near gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

minutes, as doing so may damage the cooking surface.
7 Children shall not play with the
appliance.
8 NEVER use electrical outlet below
counter.
9 NEVER connect this appliance to
an external timer switch or separate remote-control system.
10 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.
11 To 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.
12 Regularly inspect the appliance and

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
36 Caution should be used when searing
meats and sautéing. Keep hands and face away from the removable cooking pot, especially when adding new ingredients, as hot oil may splatter.
37 When unit is in operation, hot steam
is released through the air exhaust vent. Place unit so vent is not directed toward the power cord, electrical outlets, cabinets or other appliances. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from vent.
38 DO NOT tamper with, disassemble, or
otherwise remove the float valve or pressure release assembly.
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. Remove lid promptly to avoid re-pressurisation of the inner pot.
40 DO NOT use Pressure Lid when
Sear/Sauté function is selected.
41 If using SLOW COOK setting, 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.
42 When using the PRESSURE COOK
setting, ALWAYS keep the pressure lid locked and the pressure release valve turned anticlockwise to the SEAL position.
43 If the lid will not turn to unlock, this
indicates the appliance is still under pressure. DO NOT intentionally press down on float valve. 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 steam is completely released the float valve will be in the lower position allowing the lid to be removed. If steam does not release when the pressure release valve is moved to vent, unplug the unit from the wall and let the unit naturally release pressure.
44 Spilled 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.
45 Serious burns can result from the steam
and hot foods inside the inner pot. ALWAYS 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.
46 When removing the lid, DO NOT lift the
lid straight up as this may not release the seal between the lid and pot, increasing the risk of food splashing.
47 A LWAYS tilt the lid so that it is between
your body and the inner pot so that you can be shielded from steam and hot liquids.
48 The cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™ Basket
or Plate, and reversible rack become extremely hot during the cooking process. Avoid hot steam and air while removing the cooking pot and Cook & Crisp™ Basket or Plate from the appliance, and ALWAYS place them on a heat resistant surface after removing. DO NOT touch accessories during or immediately after cooking.
49 Removable cooking pot can be
extremely heavy when full of ingredients. Care should be taken when lifting pot from cooker base.
50 Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be performed by children.
Indicates to read and review instructions to understand operation and use of product.
Indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause personal injury, death or substantial property damage if the warning included with this symbol is ignored.
Take care to avoid contact with hot surface. Always use hand protection to avoid burns.
51 Let the appliance cool for
approximately 30 minutes before handling, cleaning, or storing.
52 To disconnect, turn any control to
OFF, then unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning, disassembly, putting in or taking off parts and for storage

The unit will beep when preheat is complete the display. Remove pressure lid and place bags in the water using the water displacement method: Working with one bag at a time, leave a corner of the bag unzipped—as you slowly lower the bag into the water, the pressure of the water will force the air out of the bag. When just the bag’s seal is above the water line, finish closing the bag, making sure no water gets inside. Keep the bag’s seal just above the water line.
7 Reinstall the pressure lid and ensure the
pressure release valve is in the VENT position.
8 When cook time is complete, the unit
will beep. Carefully remove bags from the water with silicone-tipped tongs.
NOTES: If the food you have cooked is not going to be consumed immediately, plunge the bags into ice water to reduce temperature quickly, then keep food refrigerated.
When reheating food that has been cooked using the Sous Vide function, use the Sous Vide function again. After preheating the water, add food in the resealable bags and cook approximately 15–20 minutes using the desired cook temperature.
Sous vide is almost always the first step in the cooking process. Foods should be finished by using a dry heat method such as grilling, sautéing, roasting, or air frying.

Cleaning: Dishwasher & Hand-Washing
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.
1 Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning.
2 To clean the cooker base and the
control panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth.
3 The pressure lid, cooking pot, silicone
ring, deluxe reversible rack, Cook & Crisp™ Basket, and detachable diuser
can be washed in the dishwasher.
NOTE: NEVER put the cooker base in the dishwasher, or immerse it in water or any other liquid.
4 The pressure release valve and anti-clog
cap, can be washed with water and dish soap.
NOTE: DO NOT take apart the pressure release valve or float valve assembly.
5 To clean the crisping lid, wipe it down
with a wet cloth or paper towel after the heat shield cools.
6 If food residue is stuck on the cooking
pot, deluxe reversible rack, or Cook & Crisp Basket, fill the pot with water and allow it to soak before cleaning. DO NOT use scouring pads. If scrubbing is necessary, use a non-abrasive cleanser or liquid dish soap with a nylon pad or brush.
7 Air-dry all parts after each use.
Silicone Ring
Silicone Ring Rack
Removing & Reinstalling the Silicone Ring
To remove the silicone ring, pull it outward, section by section, from the silicone ring rack. The silicone ring is reversible and can be installed with either side facing up. To reinstall, press it down into the rack section by section.
After use, remove any food debris from the silicone ring and anti-clog cap.
Keep the silicone ring clean to avoid odor.
Washing it in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is normal for it to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. It is recommended to have more than one silicone ring on hand. You can purchase additional silicone rings on ninjakitchen.com.au
NEVER pull out the silicone ring with excessive force, as that may deform it and the rack and aect the pressure-sealing function. A silicone ring with cracks, cuts, or other damage should be replaced immediately.

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 pressurising?
• PRE will display on the screen to indicate the unit is building pressure.
“PRE” is showing 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 depressurised. To release pressure, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to quick release the pressurised 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. To unlock the pressure lid, turn it counterclockwise. Lift the lid at an angle to prevent splatter. Do not lift the lid straight up.
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 depressurise?
• The time it takes to release pressure depends on the quantity of food in the unit and can vary from recipe to recipe. Always ensure the float valve has dropped before trying to remove the lid. If the unit is taking longer than normal to depressurise, unplug the unit and wait until the float valve drops before removing the lid.
“ADD POT” error message appears on display screen.
• Cooking pot is not inside the cooker base. Cooking pot is required for all functions.
“OTHR LID” error message appears on display screen.
• 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 LID” error message appears on display screen.
• The crisping lid is open and needs to be closed for the selected function to start.
“TURN LID” error message appears on the display screen.
• The pressure lid is not fully installed. Turn the lid clockwise until it clicks for the selected cooking function to start.
“OPEN 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.
“ADD 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.
“ADD 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.
“ERR” message appears.
• The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at

HELPFUL TIPS
• For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer in the Cook & Crisp make sure to shake them halfway through the set cook time.
• For smaller ingredients that could fall through the nesting grill rack, we recommend first placing them on parchment paper or foil.
• When switching from pressure cooking to using the crisping lid, we recommend emptying the pot of any remaining liquid for best crisping results.
• Press and hold down the TIME up or down arrow to get to your desired time faster.
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 pressure lid closed and using this function just before serving. To reheat cold food, use the Air Crisp function.
