USING THE NINJA® FOODI™ SMART GRILL
GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY
When using the Grill function, you will need
to select the grill grate temperature setting.
Below are recommended temperature
levels for common ingredients.
SPLATTER SHIELD
Located on the underside of the hood, the
splatter shield keeps the heating element
clean.
ALWAYS
ensure the splatter shield is
installed when cooking. Failure to use the
splatter shield will result in oil buildup on the
heating element, which can cause smoking.
Removing the splatter shield
Remove the splatter shield for cleaning after
every use. Once the splatter shield has
cooled completely, remove it by pushing the
upper left tab toward the back of the hood.
This will release the splatter shield, allowing
you to remove it.
Installing the splatter shield
To install, insert the splatter shield so the
grooves on the splatter shield ring match
those of the fixed heat shield ring notch
on the right. Then gently push the splatter
shield upward until it clicks into the tab on
the left side.
USING THE FOODI™
SMART THERMOMETER
Before First Use
Make sure the thermometer jack is free of
any residue and the cord is free of knots
before plugging it into the jack.
1
Unwind the cord from the magnetic
storage compartment to remove
the thermometer.
Note: The storage
compartment is magnetic and can be
placed on either side of the unit.
2
Plug the thermometer into the jack of the
right side of the control panel.
Push firmly on the plug until it cannot
go into the jack any further. Place the
storage compartment back onto the side
of the unit.
3
Once the thermometer is plugged into
the jack, it will enable and illuminate
PRESET and MANUAL. Select the desired
cook function (e.g., Grill) and cook
temperature.
4
Press the thermometer button to fully
illuminate PRESET and use the arrows
to the right of the display to select your
desired food type and the arrows to the left
of the display to set the internal doneness
of your food (Rare through Well).
NOTE:
There is no need to set a cook
time, as the unit will automatically turn
off the heating element and alert you
when your food has finished cooking.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT place hands near
Foodi Smart Thermometer cord when in
use to prevent burning or scalding
NOTE:
The unit may produce smoke when
cooking ingredients on a hotter setting
than what is recommended. For more
cooking charts, refer to your Inspiration
Guide or visit
ninjakitchen.com
.
NOTE:
For less smoke, we recommend
using canola, coconut, avocado,
grapeseed, or vegetable oil instead of
olive oil. Heating oil past its smoke point
can impart food with a burnt, acrid flavor.

Switching to Grill after
using another function
If the unit is already warm from using a
different function, “ADD FOOD” may appear
on the screen immediately. We recommend
allowing the grill grate to heat up for at least
6 minutes before placing ingredients on it.
Batch grilling
When grilling more than two consecutive
batches of food, it is recommended
that you empty the fat/oil from the
removable cooking pot. It is also HIGHLY
recommended to clean the splatter shield
in between uses. This will help prevent
grease from burning and causing smoke.
If you would like to skip the Preheat
process, press the PREHEAT button.
To use the MANUAL function instead
of PRESET, press the thermometer
button again to switch to MANUAL.
Use the recommended internal cook
temperatures below:

Place the accessory required (excluding
the thermometer) for your selected
cook function in the unit and close
the hood. Press START/STOP to begin
preheating.
