What is the difference between the Toast and Bagel functions?

The Toast function is specifically programmed to toast bread, while the Bagel function is specifically programmed to toast bagels. Both functions have been pre-programmed to take into account the thickness and cook time needed to toast bread, bagels and muffins. The toast function browns quickly and evenly on both sides while the bagel function ensures fast heating with a crunchy outside.

Which accessories are dishwasher safe?

We recommend to hand-wash accessories. The air fry basket and wire racks can be put in the dishwasher but may wear more quickly over time. DO NOT place roast tray, oven tray or crumb tray in the dishwasher.

Where is the power button located?

The power button is located on the handle on the left.

Does the unit pause when I open the door during cooking?

When the door is open, settings freeze to prevent any accidental changes to the cook cycle. It will automatically resume cooking once the door is closed.

Is the air fry basket non-stick?

No. To minimise sticking, spray the air fry basket with cooking spray.

What is the digital rack guide?

The optimal wire rack and air fry basket positions (1-4) will illuminate based on the selected function and number of cooking levels.

When should I use the air fry basket?

Use the air fry basket with the Air Fry and Dehydrate functions to maximise airflow. When cooking foods that may drip, place the oven tray on a wire rack below the air fry basket.

Do I have to shake/rotate the air fry basket while cooking?

Yes. It is important to shake and/or rotate your food for consistent browning and crispiness. For best results, follow the recipe or cooking chart to see how often you should rotate ingredients while cooking.

Do I need to add oil when air frying?

Although oil is not required, we recommend starting with one tablespoon and adjusting for personal preference or referencing the recipe for suggested oil amounts.

When do I use the oven tray?

Use the oven tray for any cooking function, it's great for tray bakes and roasting ingredients for one tray meals. As well as being used to cook foods it can also be useful to catch crumbs and spills when air frying messy foods like chicken wings, steak and other marinated ingredients. Place on a wire rack below the air fry basket to make cleaning the bottom of the unit easier.

Can I use the oven tray instead of the air fry basket with Air Fry function?

Yes, but crispiness results may vary. For frozen foods like nuggets, fries and onion rings etc it's best to use the air fry basket.

Can I use parchment or aluminium foil in the Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 Multi-Function Oven?

For easy clean up, line the oven tray with baking parchment, silicone liner or aluminium foil. When using the roast tray on the oven tray, make sure the baking parchment, silicone liner or aluminium foil is flush against the bottom of the inside of the oven tray.

Will the outside of the unit get hot?

Yes, due to the material and the product performance, the unit will get hot. Avoid touching surfaces directly.

Do I need to add preheating time when setting a cook time?

No. The unit will automatically preheat when using Air Fry, Whole Roast, Roast, Bake and Pizza. There is no automatic preheat necessary or available when using Grill, Toast, Bagel, Reheat and Dehydrate.

How do I set the timer?

To select a cook time, press the TIME +/- buttons. When using the Toast or Bagel function, these buttons will adjust the number of slices/bagel halves instead of the time.

How do I set the temperature?

To adjust temperature, press the TEMP +/- buttons. When using the Toast or Bagel function, these buttons will adjust the shade level (1, lightest - 7, darkest) instead of the temperature.

Is it safe to put the air fry basket and oven tray on my worktop?

Place the air fry basket and oven tray on heat-safe surfaces only and use caution when handling, as they will get hot during cooking.

Do I need to adjust the cook times and temperatures of traditional oven recipes?

For best results, check on your food while cooking. Refer to cooking charts in the Quick Start and Inspirational Guide for more guidance on cook times and temperatures.

Can I restore the unit to its default settings?

The oven will remember the last setting used for each function, even if you unplug it. To restore the oven’s default settings for each function, press the Light and 2 LEVEL buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.

Why is steam coming out from the oven door?

This is normal. Foods with a high moisture content may release steam around the door.

Why do the heating elements appear to be turning on and off?

This is normal. The oven is designed to control temperature precisely for every function by adjusting the heating element's power levels.

Why is water dripping onto the worktop from under the door?

This is normal. The condensation created by foods with a high moisture content (such as frozen breads) may run down the inside of the door and drip onto the worktop.

Can I put the trays on top of the unit?

Do not place items on top of the oven as this may mark or scratch the surface.

How can I clean the oven tray?

For stuck-on food, let the sheet pan soak before cleaning. Line the oven tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper when cooking to make clean-up easier.

How do I clean the unit?

Everyday Cleaning

  1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
  2. Empty crumb tray by sliding it out of the oven.
  3. After every use, wipe away any food splatter on the interior walls and glass door of the unit with a soft, damp sponge.
  4. To clean the exterior of the main unit and the control panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
  5. When using accessories, we recommend greasing them with recommended cooking oil or covering them with parchment paper or aluminum foil before placing food on top. DO NOT cover roast tray holes with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Deep Cleaning

  1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
  2. Remove all accessories from the unit, including the crumb tray and wash separately. Use a non-abrasive cleaning brush to wash the air fry basket more thoroughly. Accessories are hand-wash recommended. The air fry basket and wire racks can be put in the dishwasher, but may wear more quickly over time. DO NOT place roast tray, oven tray or crumb tray in dishwasher. 
  3. Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to wash the oven’s interior and glass door, DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners, as they will damage the oven. CAUTION: NEVER put the main unit in the dishwasher or immerse it in water or any other liquid. 
  4. To remove tough grease, let oven tray and roast tray soak overnight in warm, soapy water, then wash with a nonabrasive sponge or brush.
  5. Thoroughly dry all parts before placing them back in the oven.
Why does the unit sound like it's still running even though the power is off?

The cooling fan may continue to run even after the unit has been turned off. This is a normal function and should not be a source of concern. The cooling fan will stop after the temperature of the unit reaches below 35°C.
