Q: Questionwhat is the difference between bake and roast?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHello, We are happy to assist you with your inquiry regarding the Ninja® 5.5qt Air Fryer. The Bake function is best for creating decedent baked treats and desserts. The Air Roast function turns the unit into a roaster oven. This setting is best for roasted vegetables and meats. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support TeamAnswered by Ninja Community Support
- A: AnswerYes - you don't want these left on, as the unit can get warm/hot. I believe the instructions also indicate that the unit should not have any stickers, etc. (it says "Remove and discard any packaging material, promotional labels, and tape from the unit."). So the labels should be removed before using. I don't know if they would cause an odor if left on, but would just strongly advise against using the unit with them still on.
