TM
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. First allow the splatter shield to
cool completely, then remove it by using
your thumb to release the front clip by
pushing the front clip upward and using
your other hand to pull one of the tabs
toward you. This will release the splatter
shield, allowing you to pull it out of the slot
along the back of the hood.

Installing the splatter shield
To install, gently push the splatter shield into

shield with the slot on the back of the hood.
Then push the splatter shield upward until it
clicks into the clip on the front of the hood.

GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Our technology allows you to control the
temperature of the grill grate for precise
cooking and keep smoke out of the kitchen.
When using the Grill function, you will need
to select the grill grate temperature setting.
Below are recommended temperature levels
for common ingredients.
LOW MEDIUM HIGH MAX
400°F 450°F 500°F up to 510°F

NOTE: The unit could create smoke
during the cooking process. For less
smoke, we recommend using canola,
coconut, avocado, grapeseed, or
vegetable oil instead of olive oil.
NOTE: The unit may produce smoke
when cooking meats on a hotter setting
than what is recommended. For more
cooking charts, refer to your Inspiration
Guide or visit ninjakitchen.com.
Switching to Grill after using
another function
If the unit is already warm from using a
different function, and the grill grate is at
room temperature when you place it in the
unit, "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. As the unit continues
to run and the grill grate heats up, "Add Food"
will remain on the screen until you open the
hood and place ingredients on the grate.
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. This will help prevent grease
from burning and causing smoke.
We also recommend allowing the grill grate
to heat back up for at least 3–5 minutes
between batches to ensure consistent grill
marks and char.
COOKING FUNCTIONS
Ensure the unit is plugged in before turning
it on. Press the power button.

Place the cooking pot in the unit with
the indent on the pot aligned with
the rear bump on the main unit. Then
place the grill grate in the pot with the
handles facing up. Ensure the splatter
shield isin place and close the hood.
2 Press the GRILL button. The default
temperature level will illuminate on
the left side of the control panel and
the corresponding air temperature will
appear on the display screen. Press the
Grill button or the up and down arrows
to adjust the temperature setting.

to set the cooking time in one-minute
increments, up to 30 minutes.
4 Press the
button to begin
preheating. PRE will appear on the
display screen, and the progress bar
will begin. It can take about 8 minutes
to preheat, depending on the selected
temperature setting.
5 When preheating is complete, the unit
will beep and "Add Food" will flash
across on the display screen.
6 Open the hood and place ingredients on
the grill grate. Once the hood is closed,
cooking will begin and the timer will
start counting down.
NOTE: During cooking, you can open
the hood to check on or flip your food.
The timer will pause when the hood is
opened and then automatically resume
after it is closed.
7 When cook time is complete, the unit
will beep and END will appear on the
display screen. Keep the hood open
after removing your food so the unit will
cool down more quickly. The stainless
steel wrap on the exterior of the unit
will be hot after cooking. If you need
to cook your food longer, simply press
the up arrow to add more time, then
press the button.
NOTE: If batch cooking, empty the oil
from the removable cooking pot after
every 2 batches. This will help prevent
grease from burning and causing smoke.
