CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR
NINJA® INSTANT COOKER
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly
after every use.
1
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning.
2 NEVER immerse the cooker base in
water or any other liquid. NEVER clean
the cooker base in a dishwasher.
3 To clean the cooker base and the
control panel, wipe them clean with
a damp cloth.
4 The cooking pot, steam rack, and silicone
ring can be washed in the dishwasher.
5 Hand-wash the lid (including the
pressure release valve and anti-clog
cap) with water and dish soap.
6 Air-dry all parts after each use.
7 If food residue is stuck on the cooking
pot or steam rack, fill the pot with water
and allow to soak before cleaning. DO
NOT soak pot while it is installed in
the cooker base. DO NOT use scouring
pads. If scouring is necessary, use a
non-abrasive cleanser or liquid dish
soap with a nylon pad or brush.
REMOVING & REINSTALLING
THE SILICONE RING
To remove the silicone ring, pull it outward,
section by section, from the silicone ring
rack. The ring can be installed with either
side facing up. To reinstall, press it down
into the rack section by section.
After use, remove any food debris from the
silicone ring and anti-clog cap.
Keep the silicone ring clean to avoid odor.
Washing it in warm, soapy water or in the
dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is
normal for it to absorb the smell of certain
acidic foods. It is recommended to have
more than one silicone ring on hand. You
can purchase additional silicone rings on
ninjaaccessories.com.
NEVER pull out the silicone ring with
excessive force, as that may deform it and the
rack and affect the pressure-sealing function.
A silicone ring with cracks, cuts, or other
damage should be replaced immediately.
