Ninja Foodi 6L Multi Pressure Cooker Air Fryer Dehydrator

The unit is programmed with a series of ERROR messages to prevent misuse which could damage the unit. All the error messages are contained in the instruction Booklet, please refer to this for further information.

Quick release is about 2 minutes or less. Natural release can take up to 20 minutes or more, depending on the type of food and/or the amount  of liquid and food in the pot.

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.

As a safety feature, the pressure lid will not unlock until the unit is completely depressurised. 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 anticlockwise, 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 rotating lights will display on the screen to indicate the unit is building pressure. Lights are rotating on the display screen when using the Pressure or Steam function.

• This 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.

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.
