FAQs
Can I use only one drawer at a time?
Yes, you can operate just one drawer if you only need to cook a smaller quantity of food. The appliance will function normally with one drawer in use.
What is the 'Max Crisp' function used for?
The Max Crisp function is specifically designed to rapidly cook and crisp up frozen foods, such as frozen chips, nuggets, or fish fingers, at a very high temperature. It's optimized for achieving a super crispy finish directly from frozen.
How much oil should I use for air frying?
Air frying requires significantly less oil than traditional deep frying. Many foods require no oil at all, while others may benefit from just a light spray or a tablespoon of oil tossed with the food to help with browning and crisping. Avoid using excessive oil.
What are the dimensions of the air fryer?
The dimensions of the Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer are approximately H31.5 x W38 x D26.5cm.
Are the cooking drawers and crisper plates dishwasher-safe?
Yes, both the non-stick cooking drawers and the crisper plates are dishwasher-safe for easy and convenient cleaning.
Can I use parchment paper or aluminum foil in the drawers?
Yes, you can use parchment paper or aluminum foil, but ensure they are food-grade and securely placed to prevent them from flying around and contacting the heating element. Do not allow them to block airflow or ventilation. Always place food on top to weigh them down.
What's the difference between Air Fry and Roast?
Air Fry is typically used for achieving a crispy exterior with minimal oil, using very hot, circulating air. Roast is generally for cooking foods through with a more even browning, often at slightly lower temperatures than Air Fry, suitable for vegetables, meats, or potatoes that you want tender inside with a roasted exterior rather than super crispy.
Troubleshooting
Food is not crisping up as expected.
Ensure you are not overcrowding the drawers; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food. Ensure crisper plates are correctly inserted. Some foods benefit from a light spray or toss with oil before air frying. Shake the drawers halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.
The appliance is not turning on or responding.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm the outlet is functional. Ensure the drawers are fully inserted into the unit as a safety mechanism may prevent operation if they are not.
Smoke is coming from the air fryer during cooking.
Small amounts of white smoke are normal if cooking fatty foods, as fat drips onto the crisper plate and vaporizes. If smoke is excessive or dark, immediately unplug the unit. Ensure drawers and crisper plates are clean of food debris or grease buildup from previous uses. Avoid cooking excessively greasy foods without proper drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials. Keep the instruction manual and recipe guide for future reference.
- Placement: Place the appliance on a dry, stable, heat-resistant, and level surface, ensuring there is adequate air circulation around it (at least 15cm from walls or other appliances).
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the non-stick drawers and crisper plates with warm, soapy water, or place them in the dishwasher. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
- First Use: It is normal for a slight odor to be present during the initial uses as manufacturing residues burn off. This will dissipate quickly.
Compatibility
- Power Supply: The Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer operates on standard household electricity. Ensure your outlet matches the voltage requirements listed on the product label.
- Utensils: Use heat-resistant, non-abrasive utensils (e.g., silicone, wood, plastic) to avoid scratching the non-stick coating on the drawers and crisper plates.
Care
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the drawers and crisper plates to cool completely. They can then be washed in a dishwasher or by hand using warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
- Stubborn Food: For baked-on food residue, fill the drawer with warm, soapy water and let it soak before cleaning. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the air fryer in a clean, dry place when not in use.
