Ninja Foodi Dual Zone reset trick, anyone tried this one?

[Thomas Martinez]

See, a few people have mentioned to me of the need to perform a reset procedure on their Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryers. While it's not something that get mentioned in the manual itself, there are a few way to perform such a reset that may be of use to the owner.
Unplug the air fryer from the electrical outlet. Allow the appliance to sit for a few minute to allow it to fully power off. Following this period of un-plugging, re-plug the appliance into an electrical outlet while holding the power button. This action force a system reset on the appliance's control board. This system reset can be helpful should the appliance be stuck in some state, or if the air fryer is otherwise behaving in a glitchy fashion.
Does this reset any setting on the appliance? How long should the appliance be unplugged prior to this step? Have you used this procedure on your own appliance and found that this system reset performs some function beyond simply plugging the appliance in after unplugging it for a few minutes?

did this last month on mine when the left zone was throwing some random error code. Worked fine, didnt loose any of the cook history or anything so im pretty sure its just a soft reboot not a factory wipe.

Honestly 30 seconds unplugged is plenty. The caps drain fast on these, there's no big PSU sitting there holding charge for a minute.

wait does holding power while plugging in actually do anything different then just plugging it back in normally? like is there a separate boot mode the MCU enters or is the button hold incidental
