Good to know before you buy
!

!
SharkNinja asks you to run the oven empty before the first cook. Put the accessories inside, set Air Fry at 450 F for 20 minutes, and open a window. That clears packaging residue and odor traces manual.
!
SharkNinja lists the sheet pan and the air fry basket as dishwasher safe, and the owner's guide recommends hand washing. Hand wash them in warm soapy water to prolong their use. Never put the main unit in the dishwasher or in water SharkNinjamanual.
!
The oven has to sit flipped down before it will power on. Flip it down first, then press the power button. Keep the wire rack in the bottom rail at all times, except when you use the air fry basket manual.
!

Before you start
The guide says not to cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil, and never to lay foil on the sheet pan or broil rack manual.
How the Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven compares
Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven vs Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro
Both take a 13 inch pizza and 9 slices of toast, and the Ninja is the one that flips away. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro lists 13 functions, a 1 cubic foot interior and a 14 lb turkey Breville.
Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven vs Instant Omni Plus
The Ninja takes the wider pizza and more toast, and the Instant Omni Plus adds a rotisserie. Instant Pot lists 10 functions, 18 liters inside and a barbecue style spit in the box Instant Pot.
Each function arrives with a default time and temperature, and you change both with the dial manual. Toast, Bagel and Keep Warm have no temperature to set, and the oven does not preheat on those three.

The oven remembers the last time and temperature you set for each function, even after you unplug it.
Does it really air fry?
Yes, Air Fry is the first function on the dial, and its 13 by 13 inch basket comes in the box SharkNinja. SharkNinja states up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods, tested against hand-cut, deep-fried French fries. The basket air fries up to 4 lbs SharkNinja.
Put dry ingredients straight in the basket. For fatty, oily or marinated food, slide the sheet pan in underneath, so the drips land on the pan.
Tip
Turn the basket 180 degrees or toss the food halfway through the cycle, for more even browning manual.
What temperature do you air fry at?
The air fry chart sets chicken wings at 400 F for 28 to 30 minutes, 2 lbs patted dry with 1 tablespoon of oil cooking chart. Bacon runs at 390 F for 7 to 10 minutes, and frozen French fries at 390 F for 28 to 30 minutes.
How fast is it?
SharkNinja puts the preheat at 60 seconds and full meals in as little as 20 minutes SharkNinja. Air Roast cooks up to 60% faster than a traditional oven.
For a recipe written for a full-size oven, use Air Roast. The owner's guide asks you to cut the cook time by 30% and drop the temperature by 25 F manual. Food cooks faster on Air Roast than on Bake.
Note
The timer starts counting down the moment the oven finishes preheating, so prep everything before you switch it on manual.
How much counter space does it save?
It takes up 50% less space when you flip it up and away to store against your backsplash SharkNinja. The cord system is built so it does not block that movement, with three outlet options: left, right, or behind the oven.
Wait for the oven to cool first. The hot indicator lights while the oven is hot, and the word flip appears in the time display once it is cool enough manual. Hold a handle on each side, then lift and flip the unit upward.
How to set up and use it
Read the safety pages first. These steps come from the before first use and cooking pages of the owner's guide manual.

Take out the air fry basket, sheet pan, wire rack and removable crumb tray.
Wash those four parts in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry them.

Route the cord to an outlet on the left, on the right, or behind the oven.
Flip the oven down into the cooking position, plug it in and press the power button.
Turn the dial to AIR FRY, set 450 F for 20 minutes and run it empty, with the room vented.
To cook food, turn the dial until your function lights up.
Press TIME/SLICE, set the time with the dial, then press TIME/SLICE again.
Press TEMP/DARKNESS, set the temperature with the dial, then press it again.
Press START/PAUSE. The preheat indicator flashes while the oven heats.
Add the food when the oven beeps, close the door and let the timer run down.
Care and quick fixes from the manual

Wipe any food splatter on the interior walls with a soft, damp sponge.
Wipe the outside and the control panel with a damp cloth.
Apply any non-abrasive liquid cleanser to the sponge, not to the oven surface.
Hand wash the crumb tray when it needs it, and dry every part before it goes back in manual.

Flip the oven up into the storage position.
Press the push button to release the back door and reach the interior.
Wash the interior with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, then dry it manual.

If you see steam, water, or the elements cycling
