CLEANING YOUR NINJA® FOODI® XL
PRO GRILL & GRIDDLE
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly
after each use. Always let the appliance
cool before cleaning.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Keep the hood open
after removing your food to allow the
unit to cool quicker.
• The flat top BBQ griddle, crisper basket,
and splatter shield are dishwasher safe.
The pro powered grill grate and base unit
are NOT dishwasher safe. To prolong the
nonstick coating of the crisper basket, we
recommend hand-washing in warm, soapy
water.
• For the best dishwasher cleaning results,
we recommend rinsing the flat top BBQ
griddle, crisper basket, and splatter shield
with warm water before placing them in
the dishwasher.
• If hand-washing, air-dry or towel-dry all
parts after washing.
• The inner hood should be wiped down with
a damp towel or cloth after each use to
deodorize the unit and remove any grease.
• If food residue or grease is stuck on the
powered grill grate, splatter shield, or
any other removable part, soak in warm,
soapy water before cleaning.
• Clean the splatter shield after every use.
Soaking the splatter shield overnight will
help soften any baked-on grease. After
soaking, use a cleaning brush or tool to
remove the grease from the stainless
steel frame and front tabs.
• Deep clean the splatter shield by putting
it in a pot of water and boiling it for 10
minutes. Then rinse with room-temperature
water and allow to dry completely.
• Gently wipe down the inside of the
hood with a damp cloth.
• When stacking the coated accessories to
store, place a cloth or paper towel between
each piece to protect the coated surfaces.

The default temperature setting will
display. To adjust temperature if desired,

not preheat in Dehydrate mode.)

the display.

orange release button on the left side of
