USING YOUR GRILL

SPLATTER GUARD

Located on the underside of the lid,
the splatter guard keeps the heating
element clean and prevents smoking.
The splatter guard is removable for
cleaning, but we recommend keeping
it in place when cooking.
Removing the splatter guard
Remove the splatter guard for cleaning after
every use. First allow the splatter guard to
cool completely, then remove it by using
your thumb to release the front clip by
pushing the front clip upward and using
your other hand to pull one of the tabs
toward you. This will release the splatter
guard, allowing you to pull it out of the slot
along the back of the lid.

the back of the lid. Insert the back tab on
guard with the slot on the back of the lid.
Then push the splatter guard upward until
it clicks into the clip on the front of the lid.

GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY

Our technology allows you to control the
temperature of the grill plate for precise
cooking and keep smoke out of the kitchen.
When using the Grill function, you will need
to select the grill plate temperature setting.
Below are recommended temperature levels
for common ingredients.
LOW MEDIUM HIGH MAX
• Bacon • Frozen Meats • Steaks • Veggies
• Sausages • Marinated/ • Chicken • Fruit

• Kebabs

• Calzones
NOTE: The unit could create smoke
during the cooking process. For less
smoke, we recommend using vegetable
oil, coconut, avocado or grapeseed
instead of olive oil.
NOTE: The unit may produce smoke when
cooking meats on a hotter setting than
what is recommended. For more cooking
charts, refer to your Inspiration Guide or
visit ninjakitchen.eu.
Batch grilling
When grilling more than two consecutive
batches of food, it is recommended that you
empty the fat/oil from the removable cooking
pot. This will help prevent grease from burning
and causing smoke.
We also recommend allowing the grill plate
to heat back up for at least 3–5 minutes
between batches to ensure consistent grill
marks and cooking.
Switching to Grill after using another function
If the unit is already warm from using a
different function, and the grill plate is at
room temperature when you place it in the
unit, "Add Food" may appear on the screen
immediately. We recommend allowing the grill
grate to heat up for at least 6 minutes before
placing ingredients on it. As the unit continues
to run and the grill grate heats up, "Add Food"
will remain on the screen until you open the
lid and place ingredients on the plate.

and then automatically resume after it is
closed.
