How do I set up the Ninja Woodfire Grill before first use?

First, remove all packaging material and tape from the unit. Wash the grill grate and crisper basket in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Finally, run the grill on the GRILL function at HI for 20 minutes without adding food to remove any residues—this is completely safe and recommended before your first cooking session.
