Ninja Foodi 7.5L Multi Pressure Cooker Air Fryer Dehydrator

No, once pressure cooking has started, we do not recommend moving the unit.

To turn on the unit, plug in the power cord and press the Power button located on the bottom righthand side of the control panel.

To install the condensation collector, slide it into the slot on the cooker base. To remove it, simply slide it out and hand-wash it after each use.

The outside of the unit will get hot, but the control panel, exterior handles, and handle on the lid will be safe to touch at any time during cooking.

The time to build pressure can take up to 20 minutes, varying based on the amount and temperature of ingredients in the pot. If you want to shorten the time it takes to build pressure, use hot liquid in the pot. Also, if any portion of your meal requires searing or sautéing, begin with that function and then switch to pressure cook.

A rotating light will appear on the digital display to indicate the unit is building pressure (please note this can take up to 20 minutes). The countdown timer will begin once the unit reaches pressure.

To set the cook temperature, use the Temp up and down arrows on the left side of the digital display. You can adjust the temperature at any time throughout the cooking process, but note that you cannot change the pressure setting once pressure cooking has started.

To set the cook time, use the Time up and down arrows on the right side of the digital display. The clock will display HH:MM. You can change the time at any point during the cooking process.

No, the crisping lid does not detach from the unit.

You may have set hours rather than minutes. When setting time, the display will show HH:MM and the time will increase/decrease in minute increments.

The basket is nonstick and has a ceramic coating that is PTFE-free, FDA approved and food safe. As with any nonstick surface, we recommend cooking with scratch-resistant, non-metal utensils, and cleaning with non-abrasive materials only. Minor scratches should not affect performance, as long as most of the non-stick coating is still in place. If a change in performance is noticed, we recommend ordering a replacement basket.
