GRILLCONTROL TECHNOLOGY
When using the Grill functions, you will
need to select the pro powered grill grate
temperature setting. Below are recommended
temperature levels for common ingredients.
The unit may produce smoke when cooking
ingredients on a setting hotter than
recommended.
Grill
Use function with grill grate only.
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.

shield into place and then snap the right
side into place until you hear it click and it
feels secure.
Removing the splatter shield and cleaning

Switching to Grill after
using another function
If the unit is already warm from using a
dierent function, ADD FOOD may appear
on the display 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 grease
catch. It is also HIGHLY recommended to
clean the splatter shield in between uses.
This will help prevent grease from burning
and causing smoke.
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. Handle
cord with care.
1 Pull the magnetic 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 and you
feel or hear it click into place. Place the
storage compartment back onto the
side of the unit.
3Once the thermometer is plugged into
the jack, it will enable the PRESET and
MANUAL thermometer buttons. Turn the
dial to 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.
4If using PRESET, then press the PRESET
button and turn the center dial to select
your desired food type. Upon selection,
press the DONENESS button and turn
the dial to choose your preferred internal
doneness (rare through well).
If using MANUAL, then press the MANUAL
button and use the below recommended
internal cook temperatures.
5Place the accessory required for your
selected cook function in the unit and
close the hood. Press the dial to begin
preheating.
FOOD TYPE: SET DONENESS TO:
Fish Medium (130°F)
Medium Well (140°F)
Well Done (150°F)
Chicken/Turkey Well Done (165°F)
Pork Medium (130°F)
Medium Well (150°F)
Well Done (160°F)
Beef/Lamb Rare (115°F)
Medium Rare (125°F)
Medium (130°F)
Medium Well (145°F)
Well Done (150°F)
NOTE: Cooking dierent meats or
the sames ones to dierent levels
doneness? Refer to the next page for
details on programming.
NOTE: The recommendations for
BEEF/LAMB are lower than normal
as unit will carry-over cook 10–15°F.
IMPORTANT: To prevent burning or
scalding, DO NOT place hands near Foodi
Smart Thermometer cord when in use.
NOTE: Reference USDA guidelines for
food-safe temperature recommendations.

6While the unit is preheating, insert the
thermometer horizontally into the center
of the thickest part of the piece of protein.
Refer to the chart on the adjacent page
for detailed thermometer placement
instructions.
7 When the unit has preheated and ADD
FOOD appears on the display, open
the hood, place food with inserted
thermometer in the unit, and close the
hood over the thermometer cord if the
function requires the hood to be closed.
8 The progress bars at the right of the
display will track doneness. Flashing
doneness indicates progression to that
doneness.
9The unit will automatically stop when
desired doneness is almost reached, as it
accounts for carry-over cooking, and GET
FOOD will appear on the display.
10 When REST appears on the display,
transfer the protein to a plate.
Thermometer can be removed before
transferring. The protein will continue to
carry-over cook to your set doneness,
which takes about 3–5 minutes. This is an
important step, as not resting could lead
to results looking less cooked. Carry-over
cook times can vary based on size of
protein, cut of protein, and type of protein.
USING THE THERMOMETER IN
DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS:
Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same
size to dierent levels of doneness:
• Set the Preset feature to the highest
desired level of doneness.
• Insert the thermometer in the protein
with the highest desired level of
doneness.
• After preheating, place proteins inside
the grill. When the progress bars show
that the lowest desired level of doneness
is reached, remove the protein without
thermometer.
• Continue cooking the remaining protein
until the next desired level of doneness
is reached.
Cooking 2 or more proteins
of dierent sizes:
• Insert thermometer in the smaller protein
and use the Preset feature to choose the
level of doneness.
• When that protein is done cooking,
remove it from the unit.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer
to the larger protein and use the arrows
to the left of the display to choose its
level of doneness.
Cooking 2 or more dierent types
of protein:
• Insert thermometer in the protein with
the lowest desired level of doneness.
• Use the Manual feature to choose the
desired internal temperature.
• When that protein is done cooking,
remove it from the unit.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer
to the other protein and use the Manual
feature to choose the desired internal
temperature.

CLEANING YOUR NINJA® FOODI® SMART 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, base unit,
thermometer, and thermometer holder
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 (except the
thermometer), 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.
NOTE: NEVER use abrasive tools or
cleaners. NEVER immerse the main
unit or thermometer in water or any other
liquid. DO NOT place in dishwasher.
NOTE: The Foodi Smart Thermometer
and holder are handwash with a
damp cloth only. Never place unit or
thermometer in dishwasher or submerse
in liquid of any kind.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• “Add Food” appears on the control panel display.
The unit has completed preheating and it is now time to add your ingredients.
• “Shut Lid” appears on the control panel display.
The hood is open and needs to be closed for the selected function to start.
• “Plug In” appears on the control panel display.
The thermometer is not plugged into the jack on the right side of the control panel. Plug
the thermometer in before proceeding. Press the thermometer in until you hear a click.
• “PRBE ERR” appears on the control panel display.
This means the unit timed out before food reached the set internal temperature. As a
protection for the unit, it can run for only certain lengths of time at specific temperatures.
• “Add Grate” appears on the control panel display.
The grill grate must be installed in the base unit before cooking. Add the powered grill grate.
• “E” appears on the control panel display.
The unit is not functioning properly. Contact Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. So we
may better assist you, please register your product online at registeryourninja.com and
have the product on hand when you call.
• Why is my food overcooked or undercooked even though I used the thermometer?
It is important to insert the thermometer lengthwise into the thickest part of the ingredient
to get the most accurate reading. Make sure to allow food to rest for 3–5 minutes to complete
cooking. For more information, refer to the Using the Foodi® Smart Thermometer section.
• Why is there no noise during BBQ Griddle preheat even though the preheat progress
bars are showing?
As long as the progress bars show, your unit is preheating. BBQ Griddle will preheat
the bottom plate, and the fan will turn on several minutes into preheating.
• Can I cancel or override preheating?
Preheating is highly recommended for best results, but you can skip it by selecting the
PREHEAT button after you press the dial.
• Should I add my ingredients before or after preheating?
For best results, let the unit preheat before adding ingredients.
• 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.
• How do I pause the unit so I can check my food?
By opening the hood during a cooking function besides Grill and BBQ Griddle, the unit
will automatically pause.
• Will the thermometer grip melt if it touches the hot grill grate?
No, the grip is made of a high-temperature silicone that can handle the unit’s high temperatures.
• Why did a circuit breaker trip while using the unit?
The unit uses 1760 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.
• Why does the unit have a 1–9 scale for the Beef Preset?
Perception of what a specific internal doneness looks like diers from person to person,
even restaurant to restaurant. The 1–9 scale provides a wide range of options so you can
customize doneness to your liking.
