CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR NINJA CRISPI™

• The PowerPod should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. ALWAYS let the appliance cool completely before cleaning.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

• Does my unit need to preheat?
• No, the unit does not need to be preheated.
• When should I use Max Crisp instead of Air Fry?
• For best results, use Max Crisp when cooking prepackaged frozen foods such as French fries or Chicken nuggets.
• Why is LID appearing on the display screen?
• PowerPod is not secured properly on the Ninja glass container. Make sure the PowerPod is aligned and leveled on the container. If using the adapter, ensure the PowerPod is fully inserted into the adapter.
• How do I pause the countdown?
• Pressing the START/POWER button or lifting the PowerPod off the container during cooking will pause the cooking function.
• Is the PowerPod safe to put on my countertop?
• Yes, the PowerPod, with or without the adapter on can safely be placed on any countertop during or after cooking.
• Are the glass containers safe to put on my countertop?
• Yes, the heat protectant base on the Ninja glass containers allows them to be placed on any countertop during or after cooking.
• How do I know when to use the crisper plate?
• Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the food in the basket so that air can flow under it to cook ingredients evenly.
• My food didn’t cook.
• Make sure the PowerPod is properly secured on the Ninja glass container during cooking. For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the basket with no overlapping. Use easy-grip handles on glass containers to shake to toss loose ingredients for consistent crispiness. Cook time and function can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply press the TIME – and + or MODE buttons.
• My food is burned.
• For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food when the desired level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.
• Why do some ingredients blow around when air frying?
• Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice on a sandwich.
• Can I air fry fresh battered ingredients?
• Yes, but use the proper breathing technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour, then with egg, and then with breadcrumbs. Be sure to press the breadcrumbs onto the food so they stick in place. Loose breading may be blown off by the unit’s powerful fan.
• Why is the unit beeping?
• The unit beeps when the cooking function starts and again when the cooking function is complete.
• The screen went black.
• The unit is in standby mode. Press the START/POWER button to turn it back on.
• An “E” message appears on the display screen.
