GETTING TO KNOW THE NINJA
SIZZLE™ GRILL AND GRIDDLE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
17 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Appliance surfaces are hot during and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, ALWAYS
use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts and use available handles and knobs.
18 DO NOT touch accessories during or immediately after cooking. The grill grate becomes extremely hot during the cooking process.
Avoid physical contact while removing the accessory from the appliance. To prevent burns or personal injury ALWAYS use care when
interfacing with product. Recommend use of long-handled utensil and protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts.
19 DO NOT use this appliance for deep-frying.
20 To prevent possible illness, ALWAYS use an external food thermometer to check that your food is cooked to the recommended
temperatures.
21 Should a grease fire occur or the unit emits black smoke, unplug immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before removing any
cooking accessories.
22 Please refer to the Cleaning & Maintenance section for regular maintenance of the appliance.
23 To disconnect, turn unit to “OFF,” then unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning.
24 Allow to cool before cleaning, disassembling, putting in or taking off parts, or storing.
25 DO NOT clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
26 Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children.
27 Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1 Remove and discard any packaging material, stickers, and tape from the unit.
2 Remove all accessories from the package and carefully read the manual before use. Please pay
particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any
injury or property damage.
3 Wash the grill and griddle plates with a damp, soapy cloth, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
4 We recommend turning the unit on and running it on 400°F for 10 minutes without adding food.
Make sure the area is well ventilated. This removes any packaging residue and odor traces that
may be present. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the performance of the grill.
HOW TO HAVE A VIRTUALLY SMOKE-FREE EXPERIENCE
Always use the recommended grill settings. Our chef-designed temperature settings maximize grill
flavors and textures while minimizing smoke.
If using oil or fat during the cooking process, we recommend using oils with high smoke points.
For best results, Canola, Refined Coconut, Avocado, Vegetable, or Grapeseed oils are recommended.
Olive Oil, Butter, Margarine, or aerosol cooking sprays are NOT recommended.

COOKING WITH THE NINJA SIZZLE™ GRILL AND GRIDDLE
1 To install the grill or griddle grate, position it
over the base with the grease trap toward
the front. Place the cooking grate down
ensuring the sides align with the exterior
of the base.
2Make sure the unit is plugged in, then turn the
dial to the desired temperature. The power
indicator light will illuminate.
3Allow the grill to preheat with the lid closed for
7 minutes before cooking.
4 When preheat is complete, open the lid and
place ingredients on the grill grate.
5 Once ingredients are cooked to the desired
doneness, remove from the grill and turn the
dial until it clicks into the “OFF” position. The
power indicator light will turn o.
6To remove the grill or griddle grate for
cleaning, ensure the dial is in the “OFF”
position, and the unit is unplugged and
has had sucient time to cool. Open the
lid and lift the cooking grate straight up by
grabbing the vertical walls along the edge of
the cooking surface.
NOTE: Ninja Sizzle Grill and Griddle can be
used with the lid open or closed.
NOTE: The griddle plate is not included on
all models.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE SPLATTER LID
CLEANING YOUR GRILL AND GRIDDLE
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after
each use. Always let the appliance cool before
cleaning.
1Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Keep the lid open after removing
your food to allow the unit to cool quicker.
2To prolong the nonstick coating of the grill
and griddle plates, we recommend hand-
washing in warm, soapy water then air or
towel-drying all parts. The splatter lid is
dishwasher safe.
3If food residue or grease is stuck on the grill
grate, splatter lid, or any other removable
part, soak in warm, soapy water before
cleaning.
4To clean the base heating unit of the grill,
use a damp, soapy cloth, then wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: NEVER use abrasive tools or cleaners.
NEVER immerse the main unit in water or any
other liquid. Do not place in dishwasher.
1After allowing the unit to cool, remove the lid by opening it until it is approximately vertical
(Figure 1). Then lift the lid straight up out of the hinge base.
2
To install the lid, hold it vertically with the handle facing up and the hinge pivots over the hinge
base (Figure 2). Ensure that the flat sections of the hinge pivots are oriented vertically (Figure 3).
Lower the lid hinge pivots into the hinge base, then close the lid.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
• Why is the unit emitting smoke?
When using the Grill function, always select the recommended temperature setting. Recommended
settings can be found in the Quick Start Guide and in the Inspiration Guide. Make sure the splatter
shield is installed.
• Why did a circuit breaker trip while using the unit?
The unit uses 1450 watts of power, so it must be plugged into an outlet on a 15-amp circuit breaker.
Using an outlet on a 10-amp breaker will cause the breaker to trip. It is also important that the unit
be the only appliance plugged into an outlet when in use. To avoid tripping a breaker, make sure the
unit is the only appliance plugged into an outlet on a 15-amp breaker.
