Ninja Foodi MINI 4.7L Multi Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer

The time it takes to release pressure depends on the quantity of food in the system and can vary from recipe to recipe. Always ensure the float valve has dropped before trying to remove the lid. If the system is taking longer than normal to depressurise please unplug the unit and wait until the float valve drops before interacting with the product.

The cooking cycle is complete and the unit is in Keep Warm mode.

Make sure the pressure release valve is turned to the SEAL position. If you’ve done this and still hear a loud hissing noise, it may indicate your silicone seal is not fully in place. Press START/STOP to stop cooking, VENT as necessary, and remove the pressure lid. Press down on the silicone ring, ensuring it is fully inserted and lies flat under the ring rack. Once fully installed, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.

Yes. The pressure release valve’s loose fit is intentional; it enables a quick and easy transition between SEAL and VENT and helps regulate pressure by releasing small
amounts of steam during cooking to ensure great results. Please make sure it is turned as far as possible toward the SEAL position when pressure cooking and as far as possible toward the VENT position when quick releasing.

As a safety feature, the pressure lid will not unlock until the unit is completely depressurised. To release pressure, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position
to quick release the pressurised steam. A quick burst of steam will spurt out of the pressure release valve. When the steam is completely released, the unit will be ready to open. Turn the pressure lid counterclockwise, then lift it up and away from you.

It’s normal for steam to release through the pressure release valve during cooking. Leave the pressure release valve in the VENT position for Steam, Slow Cook, and Sear/Sauté.

The progress bar indicates the unit is building pressure or preheating when using STEAM or PRESSURE. When the unit has finished building pressure, your set cook time will begin counting down.

The progress bar will display on the screen to indicate the unit is building pressure. Progress bars are showing on the display screen when using the Pressure or Steam function.

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.
