Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outdoor electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the power button on the grill is pressed firmly. If using an extension cord, ensure it is rated for outdoor use and the grill's wattage.

Food is not getting smoky flavor.

Ensure you are using 100% natural wood pellets specifically designed for smokers and that the smoker box is correctly filled and seated. Check that there are no blockages in the smoker box and that the air vents are clear. Confirm the 'Smoker' function is selected and operating for the desired duration.

Ninja Pro Connect app is not connecting to the grill.

Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your smartphone and the grill is powered on. Bring your phone closer to the grill to ensure a strong signal. Try restarting both the grill and your phone. If issues persist, try unpairing and re-pairing the device within the app settings.

Food is cooking unevenly or not reaching desired doneness.

Always preheat the grill fully before adding food. Use the built-in Digital Cooking Probe correctly, ensuring it is inserted into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone or gristle. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to allow for proper airflow and even heat distribution. Ensure the lid is closed during cooking to maintain consistent temperature.

  3. Power Connection: Plug the grill into a grounded outdoor power outlet. Ensure the outlet is rated for the grill's power requirements. An extension cord, if used, must be rated for outdoor use and capable of handling the grill's wattage.
  4. App Connection: Download the Ninja Pro Connect app to your smartphone. Follow the app's instructions to pair your device with the grill via Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi, enabling remote control and monitoring.
  5. Initial Burn-In: Before first use, it's recommended to perform an initial burn-in to remove any manufacturing residues. Consult the manual for specific instructions regarding this process.
