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 between uses. This will help prevent
grease from burning and causing smoke.
NOTE: The unit may produce smoke when
cooking ingredients on a hotter setting than
what is recommended. For more cooking
charts, refer to your Inspiration Guide or visit
ninjakitchen.com.
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.
Installing the
splatter shield
To install, hook the left
side of the splatter 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
Remove the splatter
shield for cleaning
after each use. Allow
the shield to cool
completely, then
unhook it from the
back of the hood by
pressing the top tab
back, then pulling the
handle forward.

past its smoke point can impart food with a
burnt, acrid flavor.
