Ninja Foodi Health Grill & Air Fryer with Dehydrator AG301UK

The splatter guard should be cleaned after each use and is dishwasher safe. Over time, the splatter guard front tabs and frame may accumulate grease buildup. 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.

Preheating is highly recommended for best results. Skip preheating by selecting the function again after you press the START/STOP button. However, you cannot override preheating when using the Grill function.

The unit is off. Press the power button to turn it back on.

Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour, then with egg and then with bread crumbs. Be sure to press the bread crumbs onto the food so they stick in place. Loose breading may be blown off by the unit’s powerful fan.

Occasionally, the fan will blow lightweight foods around. To prevent this, secure loose food (like the top slice of bread on a sandwich) with cocktail sticks.

For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the crisper basket with no overlapping. Shake loose ingredients during cooking for consistent crispiness.

Do not add food until preheating is complete. For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food when desired level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.

When the lid is opened during a cooking function, the unit will automatically pause.

Let the unit preheat before adding ingredients.
