GETTING TO KNOW YOUR NINJA® INSTANT COOKER

BEFORE FIRST USE

FUNCTION BUTTONS

PRESSURE: 

To pressure cook, the lid must 

be installed and the pressure release valve 

must be in the SEAL position. Use the right 

or left arrows to set the pressure level and 

the + and - buttons to set cook time up  

to 4 hours.

STEAM: 

To use as a steamer, the lid must 

be installed and the pressure release valve 

must be in the VENT position.* Use the + 

and - buttons to set cook time up to  

30 minutes. Your Ninja Instant Cooker  

will automatically set the best temperature  

for steaming.

SLOW COOK: 

To slow cook, the lid must 

be installed and the pressure release valve 

must be in the VENT position.* Use the 

right or left arrows to set the temperature 

and the + and - buttons to set cook time 

up to 12 hours.

SEAR/SAUTÉ: 

Your Ninja Instant Cooker can 

be used like a stovetop for browning meat, 

sauteing veggies, simmering sauces, and 

more. Use the right or left arrows to set the 

temperature. There is no time setting available 

or necessary when using Sear/Sauté.

SETTING OR ADJUSTING PRESSURE/

TEMPERATURE: 

To set or adjust the 

pressure or temperature levels in all 

functions (except Steam) use the right and 

left arrows to toggle between and select 

your desired setting.

SETTING OR ADJUSTING COOK TIME: 

Use 

the + and - buttons to set or adjust the cook 

time in all functions (except Sear/Sauté) in 

minute increments.

OPERATING BUTTONS

START/STOP: 

After the function has been 

selected and temperature, pressure and/or 

cook time have been set, begin the cooking 

process by pressing START/STOP. To stop 

cooking at any time, press this button again.

KEEP WARM:

 After pressure cooking, 

steaming, or slow cooking time expires, 

Keep Warm mode will automatically 

activate for up to 12 hours. The KEEP WARM 

button will illuminate and the clock will 

display the amount of time the Keep Warm 

mode has been active. To shut off Keep 

Warm mode, press KEEP WARM button. 

You may also select KEEP WARM to use the 

unit as a warmer.

STANDBY MODE

After 10 minutes with no interaction with 

the control panel, the unit will enter standby 

mode. The power button will be dimly lit.

1  

 Remove and discard any packaging 

material, promotional labels, and tape 

from the unit.

2    

Remove accessories from the package 

and read this manual carefully. Please 

pay particular attention to operational 

instructions, warnings, and important 

safeguards to avoid any injury or  

property damage. 

3    

Wash the lid, silicone ring, removable 

cooking pot, steam rack, and 

condensation collector in hot, soapy 

water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. 

NEVER

 clean the cooker base or lid in 

the dishwasher. Inspect the lid to ensure 

the valves are clean of all debris.

INSTALLING THE  

CONDENSATION COLLECTOR 

To install the condensation collector, slide  

it into the slot on the cooker base. To 

remove the collector for cleaning, slide it  

out of the base.

REMOVING & REINSTALLING  

THE ANTI-CLOG CAP

Make sure your anti-clog cap is in the 

correct position before using the lid. The 

anti-clog cap protects the inner valve of 

the lid from clogging and protects users 

from potential food splatters. It should be 

cleaned after every use with a cleaning 

brush. To remove it, squeeze and pull 

upward. To reinstall, position it in place  

and press down. 

NOTE: 

Keep Warm mode is intended to 

keep cooked food at a safe temperature,  

NOT

 to cook cold or raw food.

* A glass lid is also available for steaming and slow 

cooking. To order, visit ninjaaccessories.com.

When setting time, 

digital display shows 

HH:MM. Display 

currently reads  

7 minutes.
