USING THE NINJA® FOODI™ SMART XL GRILL
GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY
When using the Grill function, you will need
to select the grill grate temperature setting.
Below are recommended temperature
levels for common ingredients.
SPLATTER SHIELD
Located on the underside of the hood, the
splatter shield keeps the heating element
clean. ALWAYS ensure the splatter shield is
installed when cooking. Failure to use the
splatter shield will result in oil buildup on the
heating element, which can cause smoking.
Removing the splatter shield
Remove the splatter shield for cleaning after
every use. Once the splatter shield has
cooled completely, remove it by pushing the
upper left tab toward the back of the hood.
This will release the splatter shield, allowing
you to remove it.
Installing the splatter shield
To install, insert the splatter shield so the
grooves on the splatter shield ring match
those of the fixed heat shield ring notch
on the right. Then gently push the splatter
shield upward until it clicks into the tab on
the left side.
USING THE FOODI™
SMART THERMOMETER
Before First Use
Make sure the thermometer jack is free of
any residue and the cord is free of knots
before plugging it into the jack.
1 Pull the thermometer storage compartment
on the right side of the unit outward. Then
unwind the cord from the compartment to
remove the thermometer.
2 Plug the thermometer into the jack.
Push firmly on the plug until it cannot
go into the jack any further. Place the
storage compartment back onto the side
of the unit.
3 Once the thermometer is plugged into
the jack, it will enable and illuminate the
PRESET and MANUAL thermometer
buttons. Select the desired cook function
(e.g., Grill) and cook temperature.
NOTE: There is no need to set a cook
time, as the unit will automatically turn
o the heating element and alert you
when your food has finished cooking.
NOTE: The unit may produce smoke when
cooking ingredients on a hotter setting
than what is recommended. For more
cooking charts, refer to your Inspiration
Guide or visit ninjakitchen.com.
NOTE: For less smoke, we recommend
using canola, coconut, avocado,
grapeseed, or vegetable oil instead of
olive oil. Heating oil past its smoke point
can impart food with a burnt, acrid flavor.

Switching to Grill after
using another function
If the unit is already warm from using a
dierent function, “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.
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. It is also HIGHLY
recommended to clean the splatter shield
in between uses. This will help prevent
grease from burning and causing smoke.
If you would like to skip the Preheat
process, press the PREHEAT button.
4 Press PRESET and use the arrows to the
right of the display to select your desired
food type and the arrows to the left of
the display to set the internal doneness
of your food (Rare through Well).
If selecting the MANUAL button, use the below
recommended internal cook temperatures.
5 Place the accessory required for your
selected cook function in the unit and
close the hood. Press START/STOP to
begin preheating.
