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

1-hour increments from 12 hours to 24
hours.
4 Install the pressure lid (see section titled
Installing & Removing the Pressure Lid).
Turn the pressure release valve to the
VENT position.
NOTES: It can take up to 10 minutes
for the unit to preheat. Prepare up to
1.3 kgs of ingredients during this time
by seasoning them, then placing each
portion in a single-use resealable
plastic bag.
For cook times of 4+ hours with a
temperature above 70°C, double-bag
each portion of food or wrap in plastic
wrap before placing in the single-use
resealable bag. This will help protect food
during the long period of submersion.
5 Press the START/STOP button to begin
preheating.
6
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.
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 aect 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
AU
02 8801 7666
“ADD FOOD” message on screen when using the Sous Vide function.
• Preheating is complete and you can now place the resealable bags containing food in
the water. Remove the pressure lid, add food, then reinstall pressure lid, ensuring the
pressure release valve is in the VENT position.

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.
