USING YOUR GRILL
SPLATTER GUARD Located on the underside of the lid, the splatter guard keeps the heating element clean. ALWAYS ensure the splatter guard is installed when cooking. Failure to use the splatter guard will result in oil buildup on the heating element, which can cause smoking. Removing the splatter guard Remove the splatter guard for cleaning after every use. Once the splatter guard has cooled completely, remove it by pushing the upper right knob towards the back of the lid. This will release the splatter guard, allowing you to pull it out of the slot along the back of the lid.Press TabInstalling the splatter guard To install, slide the guard under the fixed tab to the left hand side. Insert the smoke screen so the grooves on the smoke screen match that of the fixed heat guard ring. Then gently push the splatter guard upward until it clicks into the clip on the front of the lid.Heat Shield Ring Notch
GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGYWhen using the Grill function, you will need to select the grill plate temperature setting. Below are recommended temperature levels for common ingredients.
LOW (200°C)
MED (230°C)
· Bacon· Sausages· When using thick BBQ sauce
· Frozen meats· Marinated/ sauced meats
HI (250°C)
MAX (260°C)
· Steaks · Veggies · Chicken · Fruit
· Burgers · Pizzas
· Hot dogs· Meat kebabs
· Fresh/ frozen seafood· Veggie Kebabs
NOTE: For less smoke, we recommend using vegetable, coconut, avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable oil instead of olive oil. Heating oil past its smoke point can impart food with a burnt, acrid flavour.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.co.uk.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 plate to heat up for at least 6 minutes before placing ingredients on it.Batch grillingWhen 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.

6 While the unit is preheating, insert the probe horizontally into the centre of the thickest part of the piece of protein. Refer to the chart on the adjacent page on further probe placement instructions.Correct probe placement. Probe grip is fully inside unit.7 When the unit has preheated and “ADD FOOD” appears on the screen, open the lid, place food with inserted probe in the unit, and close the lid over the probe cord.8 The progress bar at the top of the display will track the stages of cook. Flashing indications progression to that stage.NOTE: When using Roast and Grill, the unit will beep and display FLIP. Flipping is optional but recommended9 The unit will automatically stop when your selection is almost reached, as it accounts for carry-over cooking and GET FOOD will display on the screen.
USING THE PROBE IN DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS:Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same size to different levels of outcome: Insert probe in the protein with the higher desired level of outcome. Use the Preset feature to choose the level of outcome, then monitor the progress bar–when the desired lower level of outcome is reached in that protein, remove the protein without the probe from the unit. Continue cooking the remaining protein until the desired level of outcome is reached.Cooking 2 or more proteins of different sizes: Insert probe in the smaller protein and use the Preset feature to choose the level of outcome. When that protein is done cooking, remove it from the unit. Then transfer probe to the larger protein and use the Preset feature to choose its level of outcome.Cooking 2 or more different types of protein: Insert probe in the protein with the lower desired level of outcome. Use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature. When that protein is done cooking, remove it from the unit. Then transfer probe to the other protein and use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature.
10 Transfer the protein to a plate while REST displays on the screen. The protein will continue to cook which will take about 3-5 minutes. This is an important step, as not resting could lead to results looking “less cooked”. Carry-over cook times can vary based on size of protein, cut of protein and type of protein.NOTE: To check the internal temperature of other pieces of protein, press and hold MANUAL and insert the thermometer into each piece of meat.10 ninjakitchen.co.uk
NOTE: The probe will be HOT. Use either oven gloves or tongs to take the probe out of the food.
HOW TO INSERT THE PROBE
FOOD TYPE:Steaks Pork chops Lamb chops Chicken breasts Burgers Tenderloins Fish fillets
PLACEMENT· Insert thermometer horizontally into the centre of the thickest part of the meat.· Make sure the tip of the thermometer is inserted straight into the centre of the meat, not angled toward the bottom or top of it.· Make sure the thermometer is close to (but not touching) the bone and away from any fat or gristle.
Whole chicken
NOTE: The thickest part of the fillet may not be the centre. It is important that the end of the thermometer hits the thickest part so desired results are achieved.· Insert thermometer horizontally into the thickest part of the breast, parallel to, but not touching, the bone.· Make sure the top reaches the centre of the thickest part of the breast and doesn’t go all the way through the breast into the cavity.

TROUBLESHOOTING· “ADD FOOD” appears on the control panel display . The unit has completed preheating and it is now time to add your ingredients.· “Shut Lid” appears on the control panel display . The lid is open and needs to be closed for the selected function to start.· “Plug In” appears on the control panel display . The probe is not plugged into the socket on the right side of the control panel. Plug the probe in before proceeding. Press the probe in until you hear a click.· “PRBE ERR” appears on the control panel display . This means the unit timed out before food reached the set internal temperature. As a protection for the unit, it can run for only certain lengths of time at specific temperatures.· “E” appears on the control panel display . The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 0800 862 0453 So we may better assist you, please register your product online at ninjakitchen.co.uk and have the product on hand when you call.· Why is my food overcooked or undercooked even though I used the probe? It is important to insert the probe lengthwise into the thickest part of the ingredient to get the most accurate reading. Make sure to allow food to rest for 3-5 minutes to complete cooking. For more information, refer to the Using the Digital Cooking Probe section.· Why does the preheat progress bar not start from the beginning? When the unit is warm from previously being used, it will not require the full preheating time.· Can I cancel or override preheating? Preheating is highly recommended for best results, but you can skip it by selecting the PREHEAT button after you press the START/STOP button.· Should I add my ingredients before or after preheating? For best results, let the unit preheat before adding ingredients.· Why is my unit emitting smoke? When using the Grill function, always select the recommended temperature setting. Recommended settings can be found in the Quick Start Guide and in the Inspiration Guide. Make sure the splatter guard is installed.· How do I pause the unit so I can check my food? When the lid is opened during a cooking function, the unit will automatically pause.· Will the probe grip melt if it touches the hot grill plate? No, the grip is made of a high-temperature silicone that can handle the Ninja® Foodi® Max Health Grill & Air Fryer’s high temperatures.· My food is burned . Do not add food until recommended preheat time is complete. For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food when desired level of outcome has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.· Why does the unit have a 1-9 scale for the Beef Preset? Perception of how well something is cooked differs. The 1-9 scale provides a wide range of options for each level of cook so you can customise to your liking.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every use. Always let the appliance cool before cleaning.· Unplug the unit from the wall socket before cleaning. Keep the lid open after removing your food to allow the unit to cool more quickly.· The cooking pot, grill plate, crisper basket, splatter guard, cleaning brush, and any other included accessories are dishwasher safe, except the probe. DO NOT place the probe in the dishwasher.· For the best dishwasher cleaning results, we recommend rinsing the grill plate, crisper basket, splatter guard and any other accessories with warm water before placing them in the dishwasher.· If hand-washing, we recommend using the included cleaning brush to help wash the parts. Use the opposite end of the cleaning brush as a scraper to assist with releasing baked-on sauces or cheese. Air-dry or towel-dry all parts after hand-washing.NOTE: DO NOT use liquid cleaning solution on or near the probe socket. We recommend using compressed air or a cotton swab to avoid damaging the socket.
· If food residue or grease are stuck on the grill plate, splatter guard, or any other removable part, soak in warm soapy water before cleaning.· Clean the splatter guard after every use. Soaking the splatter guard overnight will help soften the baked-on grease. After soaking, use the cleaning brush to remove the grease from the stainless steel frame and front tabs.· Deep clean the splatter guard by putting it in a pan of water and boiling it for 10 minutes. Then, rinse with room temperature water and allow to dry completely.· To deep clean the probe, soak the stainless steel tip and silicone grip in warm, soapy water. DO NOT immerse the cord or jack in water or any other liquid.The probe storage compartment holder is handwash only.NOTE: NEVER use abrasive tools or cleaners. NEVER immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
