Common Questions
10 totalWhat should I do before using my Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer for the first time?
Before first use, remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the unit. Wash the basket, divider, and crisper plates in hot, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Read the manual carefully, paying special attention to operational instructions, warnings, and safety safeguards. Note that the basket, divider, and crisper plates are the only dishwasher-safe parts—never clean the main unit in the dishwasher.
How do I use Smart Finish to cook foods with different cooking times?
To use Smart Finish, insert the divider and crisper plates, then set Zone 1 with your desired function, temperature, and time. Select Zone 2 and set different cooking parameters if needed (note: Air Broil can only be used in one zone). Press the SMART FINISH button, then START/PAUSE to begin. The zone with the longer cooking time will start first, while the other zone displays 'Hold' until both zones have the same time remaining, ensuring they finish simultaneously.
What is the difference between Match Cook and other cooking modes?
Match Cook automatically copies Zone 1 settings to Zone 2, allowing you to cook a larger amount of the same food or similar foods using identical function, temperature, and time. To use it, set up Zone 1 with your desired settings, press the MATCH COOK button to copy those settings to Zone 2, then press START/PAUSE. Note that Air Broil cannot be used in Match Cook mode.
How much space do I need around the air fryer for proper operation?
You must provide at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) of space above and on all sides of the appliance for proper air circulation during operation. Do not place the appliance near the edge of a worktop during use, and do not cover the air intake vent or air outlet while the unit is operating, as this will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
What should I do if the display screen goes black?
If the display screen goes black, the unit is in standby mode. After 10 minutes of no interaction with the control panel, the unit automatically enters standby mode with the Power button dimly lit. Simply press the power button to turn the unit back on and resume normal operation.
Why did a circuit breaker trip while using the Ninja air fryer?
The Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer uses 1690 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. Additionally, the unit should be the only appliance plugged into the outlet when in use to avoid tripping the breaker.

Cooking With Two Zones
When Smart Finish™ or Match Cook are not selected, technology is integrated into the design to automatically optimize the distribution of power when using two zones with different cook times. This means the food in the zone with the longer cooking time may finish cooking before the set time ends. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.

Helpful Tips
Troubleshooting Guide
How do I adjust the temperature or time while using a single zone? When a single zone is running the time or temperature can be adjusted at any time by pressing the up/down arrows. How do I adjust the temperature or time while using both zones? Select the desired zone, then use the TEMP arrows to adjust the temperature or the TIME arrows to adjust the time. Can I cook different foods in each zone and not worry about cross- contamination? Yes, both zones are self-contained with separate heating elements and fans. How do I pause or stop one zone when using both zones? Select the zone you want to pause or stop, then press START/PAUSE. Is the basket safe to put on my countertop? The basket will heat up during cooking. Use caution when handling them, and place them on heat-safe surfaces only. DO NOT place the basket on the top of the unit. When should I use the crisper plate? Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the food in the basket so that air can flow under and around it to cook ingredients evenly. Why didn’t my food cook fully? Make sure the basket is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the basket with no overlapping. Shake the basket to toss ingredients for even crispiness. Cook temperature and time can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply use the TEMP arrows to adjust the temperature or the TIME arrows to adjust the time. Why is my food burned? For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food when the desired level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cooking time ends to avoid overcooking. Why do some ingredients blow around when air frying? Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use
wooden toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice of bread on a sandwich. Can I air-fry wet, battered ingredients? Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour, then with egg, and then with bread crumbs. Press breading firmly onto the battered ingredients, so crumbs won’t be blown off by the fan. Why did the display screen go black? The unit is in standby mode. Press the power button to turn it back on. Why is the unit beeping? Either the food is done cooking, or the other zone has started cooking. Why is there an “E” message on the display screen? The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 1-877- 646-5288. Why did a circuit breaker trip while using the unit? The unit uses 1690 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.
