  • Total questions: 7
  • Questions unAnswered : 3

#1 How much does it weigh?

We would like to let you know this unit weighs approximately 22.44 lbs.

#2 I sprayed oven cleaner in the ninja and I’m wiping it out will the oven cleaner affect the meat I cook

No, should not but we suggest to clean it up with water after the spray and let it try for sometime. The spray has chemicals anyways.

#3 Is 110 - 240 v?

Plugs into 110 standard outlet

#4 Should the ninja foodi xl smart grill come witb a 2 or 3 prong grounded plug?

Yes it does come with 3 prong grounded plug.

#5 How do you clean it?

The grill, drip pan and air fryer basket all have a "porcelain" like coating. I just soak those in hot soapy water for several minutes and everything comes off without a lot of effort. The inside of the grill cleans up nicy with soap and water on a sponge.

#6 Do I need a dehydrator rack to dehydrate banana's? If so, where can I purchase one to fit perfectly?

You are able to dehydrate bananas using the air fry basket or pot.
