IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Read all instructions before using your Ninja® Instant 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
ALWAYS
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 countertop use only.
DO NOT
place the appliance near
the edge of a countertop during
operation. Ensure the surface is
level, clean, and dry.
7
DO NOT
place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
8
To protect against electrical shock
DO NOT
immerse cord, plugs,
or main unit housing in water or
other liquid.
9
DO NOT
cover the pressure
release valve.
10
This appliance cooks under
pressure. Improper use may result
in scalding injury. Make certain
unit is properly closed before
operating.
11
Unplug from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking
off parts.
12
Extreme caution must be used
when the cooker contains
hot food or liquid or is under
pressure. Improper use 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
Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.
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
To reduce the risk of electric
shock,
DO NOT
add water or
ingredients without the pot in
place. Only clean with a damp
cloth with unit unplugged.
17
Before placing removable cooking
pot into cooker base, ensure pot
and housing are dry by wiping
with a soft cloth.
18
DO NOT
sauté under pressure.
19
NEVER
use SLOW COOK setting
without food and liquids in the
removable cooking pot.
20
DO NOT
use this appliance for
deep frying.
21
DO NOT
exceed the cooking pot’s
PRESSURE MAXIMUM fill level.
Overfilling may cause personal
injury or property damage or affect
the safe use of the appliance.
22
When pressure cooking foods that
expand (such as dried vegetables,
beans, grains, rice, etc.)
DO NOT
fill pot more than halfway.
23
ALWAYS
follow the maximum and
minimum quantities of liquid as
stated in instructions and recipes.
24
Foods such as applesauce,
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 foods should not
be cooked in a pressure cooker
unless a Ninja® recipes calls for
them to be.
25
Before use,
ALWAYS
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 moves freely.
26
Unplug from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking
off parts.
27
DO NOT
attempt to open the lid
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
(if recipe instructs) to immediately
release steam, making sure to
avoid any contact with steam to
prevent burns. When the steam is
completely released, the red float
valve will be in the lower position,
allowing the lid to be removed.
28
ALWAYS
keep hands, face, and
other body parts away from the
pressure release valve prior to
releasing pressure.
29
DO NOT
use if the removable
cooking pot is damaged. Replace
before using.

ALWAYS
ensure lid is properly
closed before operating.

allow young children to
operate the appliance or use as a
toy. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used near
