23IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY Ł READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE Read all instructions before using your Ninja® FoodiŽ TenderCrispŽ Pressure 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 ˜tted 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. Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry. 7 DO NOT place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven. 8 This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See Operating Instructions. 9 To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, cooker base, or crisping lid in water or other liquid. DO NOT rinse these parts under the tap. 10 DO NOT cover the pressure valves. 11 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking o˚ parts. 12 Extreme caution must be used when the cooker contains hot oil, hot food, or hot liquids, or if the cooker is under pressure. Improper use, including moving the cooker, 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 DO NOT move the appliance when in use. 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 DO NOT place food or liquid directly into the unit without the pot installed. Only the removable cooking pot is designed to contain food or liquid. 17 To prevent risk of explosion and injury, use only SharkNinja silicone rings. DO NOT use if torn or damaged. 18 Before placing removable cooking pot into the cooker base, ensure pot and base are dry by wiping with a soft cloth. 19 DO NOT sauté or fry with oil while pressure cooking. 20 NEVER use SLOW COOK setting without food and liquids in the removable cooking pot. 21 DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying. 22 DO NOT exceed the cooking pot™s PRESSURE MAX ˜ll level when pressure cooking. Over˜lling may cause personal injury or property damage or a˚ect the safe use of the appliance. 23 When pressure cooking foods that expand (such as dried vegetables, beans, grains, rice, etc.) DO NOT fill pot more than halfway, or as otherwise instructed in a Ninja® FoodiŽ recipe. 24 ALWAYS follow the maximum and minimum quantities of liquid as stated in instructions and recipes. 25 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 and similar expanding foods (such as dried vegetables, beans, grains, and rice) should not be cooked in a pressure cooker, except if following a Ninja Foodi recipe. 26 Before use, ALWAYS check pressure release valve and red ˛oat valve for clogging or obstruction, and clean them if necessary. Check to make sure the red ˛oat valve on the pressure lid moves freely. 27 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. If the lid will not turn to unlock, this indicates the appliance is still under pressureŠ 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 to release steam. Take care to avoid contact with the releasing steam to avoid burns or injury. When the steam is completely released, the red ˛oat 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 or during pressure release. Additional steam may escape when opening the pressure lid. 29 DO NOT use a damaged removable cooking pot, silicone ring, or lid. Replace before using. 30 ALWAYS ensure silicone ring is installed and lid is properly closed before operating. 31 Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is near children.
