Quick Start Guide

STEP 1
Set Up
Let's start cooking
The Foodi
®
Smart Thermometer continues to monitor doneness throughout the cooking process,
unlike traditional instant-read thermometers.
STEP 4
Place Thermometer
• Wait until unit is fully preheated
before adding food.
• Insert thermometer in
protein using the guide
on the front page.
STEP 2
Select Cook Function
STEP 3
Program Thermometer
• Remove the storage compartment
on left side of the unit.
• Unwind cord and remove thermometer.
• Press the THERMOMETER button.
• Use the right arrows to choose
the desired protein.
• Use the left arrows to choose
the desired doneness.
NOTE: If selecting the MANUAL setting,
use the internal cook temperatures
recommended in the Owner's Guide.
For more instructions on cleaning the unit, refer to your Owner’s Guide.
• Press the desired cooking function (e.g., Grill).
• Use the left arrows to select desired
cook temperature (setting a time is not
necessary when using the thermometer).
STEP 6
Track Progress
• The progress bar at the top of
the display will track doneness.
• Flashing doneness indicates
progression to that doneness.
• When using Roast and Grill,
the unit will beep and display
FLIP. Flipping is optional,
but recommended.
STEP 5
Add Food
• Once unit has preheated, “ADD
FOOD” will appear on the screen.
• Add food with thermometer
grip(s) fully inside unit, then
close hood over cord(s) to begin
cooking (see images below).
NOTE: DO NOT
close hood on
thermometer grip,
as this will prop open
the hood and create
inaccurate readings.
Ninja Beef Doneness Guide
Did you know?
Meat keeps cooking when you remove it from the grill.
Perception of what a specific internal doneness looks like diers from person to person, even
restaurant to restaurant. This guide shows what to expect with each preset beef doneness level
(we have provided a wide range of options so you can customize doneness to your liking).
To prevent overcooking, the unit will beep right before your food reaches desired doneness,
taking carry-over cooking into account.
STEP 7
Carry-Over Cook & Rest
• Unit will beep and show "GET
FOOD", indicating it's time to
allow food to rest and carry-over
cook on a plate for 3–5 minutes.
Carry-over cooking is when
food retains heat and continues
to cook after being removed from
the source of heat.

Removing your food
Transfer meat to a plate using silicone-tipped
tongs with the thermometer still inserted.
WARNING: Thermometer and grip will be hot.
Carry-over cooking & resting
Allow protein to carry-over cook
and rest for 3–5 minutes. “REST” will
appear and timer will count up.
NOTE: Skipping carry-over cooking and cutting into food right away may result in a rarer level of doneness.
To check the internal temperature of other pieces
of protein, press and hold MANUAL. Then insert the
thermometer into another piece of protein and check
the display for the internal temperature reading.
NOTE: This guide is based on New York Strip Steak. Using dierent cuts and/or sizes of beef can alter the outcome.
For cuts 2 inches or thicker (e.g., filet mignon), we recommend selecting the lower temperature
setting within the desired doneness category (e.g., Rare 1 instead of Rare 2).
Storage compartment
(push in door to open)
NOTE: Plug thermometer into jack under
cover on the left side of the unit.
