Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Panda Mini, place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface and ensure there is adequate ventilation around the steam vent. Before the first use, wash the Ninja ceramic bowl and the inner steam cap with mild soap and water. When cooking, always use the provided measuring cup to maintain correct water ratios. After cooking, wait for the unit to cool before removing the inner bowl for cleaning. Do not use abrasive scrubbers on the ceramic coating, as this can degrade the non-stick surface. Wipe the exterior of the cooker with a damp cloth and ensure the steam vent is clear of debris after every use.
