12 Regularly inspect the appliance and
power cord. DO NOT use the appliance
if there is damage to the power cord or
plug. If the appliance malfunctions or has
been damaged in any way, immediately
stop use and call Customer Service.

14 Before use, ALWAYS check pressure
release valve and float valve for
clogging or obstruction and clean them
if necessary. Check to make sure the
float valve on the pressure lid moves
freely. Foods such as apple sauce,

or other cereals, split peas, noodles,
macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can
foam, froth, and splutter when pressure

valve. These and similar expanding

grains, and rice) should not be cooked
in a pressure cooker, except when
following a Ninja Foodi recipe.

exhaust vent or electrical outlet while
crisping lid is closed. Doing so will
prevent even cooking and may damage
the unit or cause it to overheat.

use only SharkNinja silicone rings. Make
certain silicone ring is installed and lid
is properly closed before operating.
DO NOT use if torn or damaged.
