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.
