General Precautions

1 Do not allow the appliance to be used by

children. Close supervision is necessary when used near children. This is not a toy.

2 To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will ﬁt into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not force into outlet or try to modify to ﬁt.

3 To protect against electrical shock, do not

submerge the appliance or allow the power cord to come into contact with water or any other liquid.

4 Allow the appliance to cool before taking off

parts and before cleaning.

5 Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry

the appliance by the power cord or yank it to disconnect from electrical outlet; instead grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

6 Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

7 Do not let the power cord hang over the edge

of table or counter or touch hot surfaces such as the stove.

8 Do not remove the brew basket or carafe

while the appliance is brewing. Scalding

may occur if any of these parts are removed during brewing cycles.

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

1 For easy ﬁlling, remove the water reservoir by slightly

twisting counterclockwise until it is free from the brewer. (Fig. 10)

2 Either ﬂip the lid top over or remove lid by twisting

counterclockwise to remove. (Fig. 11a, Fig. 11b)

NOTE: The water reservoir and water reservoir lid can

lock in multiple locations.

3 For best results, ﬁll the water reservoir with fresh,

cool, ﬁltered water. Ensure that the water is above the minimum ﬁll line for the brew size that is selected. Do not exceed the Max Fill line. The machine’s intelligence will automatically measure the amount of water needed. To avoid reﬁlling after each cup, ﬁll to the carafe line.

NOTE: Do not ﬁll past the Max Fill line. If overﬁlled,

remove the water reservoir from the brewer and empty to the Max Fill line.

Depending on the size and brew type, you may

have water left in the reservoir.

4 Place the water reservoir back on the brewer and twist

clockwise until you feel the reservoir lock into place.

5 Place the vessel that you would like to brew into

underneath the brew basket-ensure that the vessel is centered under the brew basket. (Fig. 12)

NOTE: After removing the water reservoir, there may be

a small amount of water in the reservoir valve. This can be easily removed with a dry cloth.

HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?

Each size and brew type produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength, taste, and size.

NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in slightly less brewed coffee than water used.

CAUTION: Please ensure that you are using at

least a 12 oz. cup for the Cup size and a 16 oz. travel mug for the Travel mug size.

FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE

For best results, use the below measurements of ground coffee for each size brew–the amount of ground coffee for each size will remain the same for any brew type that you select. For example, if you select Cup and Classic Brew, you will use the same amount of coffee grounds as if you select Cup and Specialty Brew.

CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground

coffee is 12 rounded tablespoons or 6 Ninja Carafe Scoops. Exceeding this amount or using ﬁne ground coffee may cause overﬂow.

1 Open the brew basket by sliding the brew basket out of

the brewer. (Fig. 13)

NOTE: The brew basket can be removed from the

brewer by lifting the brew basket at a slight upward angle (similar to a cabinet drawer).

NOTE: Check for any loose grounds that may be left

in the brew basket. Remove and rinse brew basket ifneeded.

2 Using a #4 paper cone ﬁlter, fold along the seams,

open it fully, and ﬁrmly press it into the brew basket making sure that it is fully seated. (Fig. 14)

Just like your

cold mug, cold milk lowers the temperature of

your coffee.

Single

Serve

The Ninja® double wall cup is designed to retain initial coffee temp

better than a ceramic cup.

Unlike a ceramic

mug, a thinner

paper cup

does not steal substantial heat from the coffee.

CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST CUP TO BE READY?

When brewing a carafe, close the Drip Stop to pause the brew cycle and pour a cup. Remember to reopen the Drip Stop to complete the brew. (Fig. 16)

NOTE: If you forget to open the Drip Stop, the Ninja Coffee Bar® will pause the brew, and after 20 seconds it will give you a friendly audible reminder. After 6 minutes the brew will be canceled.

CAN’T WAIT FOR THE LAST FEW DROPS?

When the brew cycle is complete, set the Drip Stop to the closed position to stop dripping from the brew basket.

NOTE: While the Drip Stop is closed the Drip Stop indicator will light up in the bottom right hand corner of the control panel.

NOTE: Remember to open the Drip Stop when you’re ready to brew again. If you forget, your Ninja Coffee Bar will give you a friendly audible reminder.

INTELLIGENT WARMING PLATE

The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on after a Classic or Rich on Carafe or Half Carafe. The Intelligent Warming Plate will adjust the heat it produces in order to avoid burning the coffee over time.

CAUTION: The HOT SURFACE light will illuminate when the warming plate is hot. Do not touch the surface when this light is illuminated.

BREWING COFFEE

NOTE: Each brew has a pre-infusion cycle with varying times. The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for a short period of time before it begins again. This process is used to evenly saturate your coffee grounds.

NOTE: For a hotter coffee, rinse the coffee cup, mug or

glass carafe with hot water prior to brewing.

CAUTION: Ensure the carafe is completely empty before starting a brewing cycle. Starting a brewing cycle with coffee in the carafe will cause an overﬂow.

CLASSIC OR RICH BREW

Classic Brew - For a smooth, balanced ﬂavor.

Rich Brew - For a coffee that is richer than Classic

Brew and still smooth, with more room for milk and cream.

1 After ﬁlling the water reservoir and adding ground

coffee to the ﬁlter, be sure that the Drip Stop is open and the reservoir, basket, and ﬁlter are securely in place.

2 Use the multi-serve dial to select the size of coffee you

would like to brew. Place the empty vessel that you would like to brew into underneath the brew basket.

NOTE: If making a single cup, lower the multi-serve cup

platform down and center the cup or mug on the cup platform. Please ensure that you are using at least a 12 oz. cup for the cup size and a 16 oz. travel mug for the travel mug size.

Care & Maintenance

CLEANING AFTER A BREW

CAUTION: Make sure that the brewer is

unplugged from the power source before cleaning.

CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool

before cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Discontinue use if the glass carafe

is scratched or handle is loose or damaged.

NOTE: Do not leave coffee in the glass carafe for

an extended period of time after a brew.

NOTE: Do not leave water in the reservoir unused

for multiple days. Rinse and replace with freshwater.

1 Before cleaning, close the Drip Stop.

2 After each brew is complete and the coffee grounds

have cooled, carefully remove the paper ﬁlter and discard. Remove brew basket from the brewer, rinse and wash with soap and warm water.

NOTE: The brew basket is not dishwasher safe.

NOTE: If coffee grounds spilled over into the brew

basket or in the overﬂow channels, remove and rinse under water until grounds are removed.

3 Wash the carafe and brew-through lid with soap and

warm water. Use a bottle brush or a cloth to wash the inside of the carafe.

NOTE: The brew-through lid, glass carafe and water

reservoir are top shelf dishwasher safe.

IMPO RTA NT: Clean the glass carafe with a soft brush

or sponge. Do not use a wire brush.

4 Wipe machine down with a warm cloth with soap and

water. Let the warming plate cool before cleaning with a wet cloth and soap and water. Do not immerse the

base in water.

NOTE: For best results, use a bottle brush. This will

allow you to scrub all of the inside with soap and hot water.

CLEANING YOUR CARAFE

We recommend rinsing your

carafe with warm soapy water, or placing in the top shelf of your dishwasher.

If you want to clean the carafe more

thoroughly, we recommend using a soft foam brush such as the one shown.

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING SYSTEM

CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool

before wiping down any surface for cleaning.

CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the coffeemaker into

water or any other liquid.

The CLEAN button will illuminate when a cleaning cycle

is recommended for your Ninja Coffee Bar®, as calcium scale buildup could be affecting the ﬂavor of your coffee.

To clean and descale your Ninja Coffee Bar:

NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 60 minutes.

1 Select the Full Carafe size and set the empty carafe

beneath the brew basket.

2 Use a descaling solution speciﬁcally formulated for

coffeemaker cleaning and follow the directions on the package. Fill the water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line (43 oz.).

Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz.)

with white vinegar, then ﬁll the rest of the reservoir with water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line (43oz.).

IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.

3 Once the water reservoir is ﬁlled with your cleaning

solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button. (Fig. 22)

NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, turn the multi-serve

dial to the ‘OFF’ position or press the CLEAN button once. The unit will beep, and stop brewing through the cleaning mixture. Discard any remaining cleaning mixture in the reservoir and the carafe, and thoroughly clean each. Reﬁll the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line, and set the empty carafe beneath the brew basket. Run a Full Carafe, Classic Brew with water only to remove any cleaning solution that could affect the ﬂavor of your coffee.

IMPORTANT: If you cancel the clean cycle, your

machine will not be properly descaled, and the CLEAN indicator light will remain on.

4 The clock will display and countdown the remaining

clean cycle time, as this takes approximately 60 minutes to complete. Your Ninja Coffee Bar will deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute it through the system. It will then pause for a half an hour, deliver additional cleaning solution, and pause for another half hour. The extended pauses allow for maximum cleaning and descaling.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove the carafe at any time

throughout the clean cycle.

5 Upon completion, the brewer will beep, and the CLEAN

light will turn off.

6 Empty and thoroughly clean the carafe and water

reservoir with warm, soapy water to remove any cleaning solution that could affect the ﬂavor of your coffee.

7 Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not

exceeding, the Max Fill line (43 oz.) and set the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.

8 Flush the system by running a Full Carafe, Classic

Brew cycle with water only. After the cycle is complete, discard the water and thoroughly clean the carafe to remove any cleaning solution that could affect the ﬂavor of your coffee.

NOTE: If the CLEAN light illuminates again, then calcium

scale buildup is still present. Repeat the steps above and the CLEAN light will automatically shut off when your brewer is clean.

Please call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288 to

purchase descaling solution or if the brewer needs any servicing.

Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Ensure the water reservoir is locked in place and is ﬁlled with enough water for the desired brew.

Check the CLEAN indicator light. If illuminated, run a clean cycle with the appropriate

My Ninja Coffee Bar® beeped and did not complete the full brew that I selected.

descaling solution or a white vinegar mixture. See Care & Maintenance section.

Check the Drip Stop indicator light. If illuminated, ensure the brew basket is fully inserted into the brewer and open the Drip Stop once the vessel is placed under the brew basket.

If the CLEAN cycle was run and the Ninja Coffee Bar is still not completing the brew OR the CLE AN light is ﬂashing, you may have hard water and a critical amount of calcium build up.

If the problem persists please call customer service at 1-877-646-5288.

My CLEAN button is ﬂashing and beeping.

The clock is ﬂashingcln.

Sediment in my coffee.

Grounds in my coffee.

Brew Basket dripping after brew.

Paper ﬁlter falling over.

Coffee is not hot enough.

Over Ice Brew is not cold.

Weak coffee.

The Ninja Coffee Bar senses that there is a critical amount of calcium or mineral deposits built up in the internal parts of the brewer. Run a clean cycle using a Descaling solution or a white vinegar solution. Please see the Care & Maintenance section on page 18.

If there is sediment at the bottom of the brewed coffee, this may be due to ﬁnely ground coffee in a permanent ﬁlter.

To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coffee use a slightly coarser grind or use a paper ﬁlter.

If there are grounds in your coffee, check to make sure the brew basket did not overﬂow. If there are too many grounds in the brew basket, or you are using a ﬁne ground

coffee, the grounds will ﬂow into an overﬂow channel designed to make sure overﬂow is captured in the brew vessel. For best results use medium ground coffee in the recommended measurements.

Check to see if the Drip Stop toggle is set to the closed, no drip position. If the Drip Stop is set to the closed, no drip position and the brewer continues to drip, run

a clean cycle or wash the brew basket thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

The Ninja Coffee Bar is designed to take a #4 cone ﬁlter. Be sure you are using this size and shape for best results.

Be sure the paper ﬁlter is ﬁrmly pressed into the brew basket. Wet the corners of the ﬁlter for best results. If problem persists, try using a permanent ﬁlter.

Your Ninja Coffee Bar System is equipped with a pre-heating function that ensures your cup of coffee as hot as it possibly can be. After turning your Ninja Coffee Bar on, the pre-heat notiﬁcation will illuminate for 3 minutes as it warms up. Once it has warmed up to temperature the pre-heat notiﬁcation will turn off indicating it is time to brew.

To brew the hottest possible cup with your Ninja Coffee Bar, keep it plugged in and powered on at all times to allow the brewing system to remain warm and ready to brew.

The Over Ice Brew is designed to brew hot coffee over ice to lock in the ﬂavor for rich, smooth iced coffee. Make sure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is ﬁlled all the way to the top with ice cubes.

If the coffee tastes weak, try adding more coffee grounds into the brew basket for the next brew cycle.

If the coffee is still weak after adding more coffee grounds, try Rich Brew to make a stronger more concentrated cup.

1-877-646-5288

Page 21

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Coffee too strong.

Brew will not start.

Brew cycle is too slow.

My cup, travel mug or carafe overﬂowed.

Brew basket overﬂowed.

Water left in my reservoir.

Does it take coffee pods?

My Ninja Coffee Bar® is leaking.

Try using a more coarse grind. If the coffee is still too strong, try using less coffee grounds.

Check to make sure the brewer is plugged in and water is in the water reservoir. If the drip stop is in the open position, check that the brew basket is pushed all the way

into the brewer. If you hear 5 beeps, check that the drip stop is in the open position. NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for a short period of time before it begins

again. This process is used to evenly saturate your coffee grounds.

A carafe brew will take approximately 8 minutes and the single cup will take approximately 4 minutes.

If the brew cycle is taking longer than normal, run the clean cycle with the descaling solution.

The cup, travel mug or carafe may not have been empty prior to brewing.

The water exceeded the Max Fill line on the water reservoir prior to brewing.

The Ninja Coffee Bar® is designed to dispense the following amounts on classic brew:

Cup 9.5 oz Travel Mug 14 oz Half Carafe 21 oz Carafe 38 oz

Please ensure that you are using at least a 12 oz. cup for the cup size and a 16 oz. travel mug for the travel mug size.

NOTE: On Rich Brew, Over Ice Brew, and Specialty Brew there will be less volume dispensed.

Check the amount of coffee or type of grind used.

Ninja Coffee Bar allows you to ﬁll the reservoir up to but not exceeding the Max Fill line and Auto-iQ® One Touch Intelligence will only use the water needed for the brew size and style selected.

After a brew you may notice left over water in your water reservoir after ﬁlling to the minimum ﬁll line of the size selected. The water reservoir markings are minimum ﬁll lines that indicate if there is enough water for the proper brew size in the reservoir for any brew style in that size, but all brew styles use different amounts of water to create the proper ﬂavor and concentration.

You can brew multiple cups before needing to reﬁll.

This brewer is designed to brew coffee grounds only. Do not insert pods or K-Cups®*.

If the leak is coming from the brew basket, be sure all the parts are ﬁt securely in the brewer.

If the leak is coming from the bottom of the brewer call customer service at 1-877-646-5288.

Troubleshooting Guide - cont.

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Why is the second cup that I brewed hotter than the ﬁrst brew?

How long does pre-heat take to give me the hottest cup?

I noticed the carafe design & lid. What are the beneﬁts?

Coffee Brew Volume: What impacts coffee brew volume?

Once the Ninja Coffee Bar® has brewed the ﬁrst cup, the brewing system is pre-warmed. This enables any following brews to be slightly hotter. For a hot ﬁrst cup try pre-warming your mug.

After turning your Niinja Coffee Bar on, the pre-heat minutes as it warms up. Once it has warmed up to temperature the pre-heat will turn off indicating it is time to brew.

To brew the hottest possible cup with your Ninja Coffee Bar, keep it plugged in and powered on at all times to allow the brewing system to remain warm and ready to brew.

Our unique carafe shape and design has the following beneﬁts: Easy grip design making it easy to pour coffee without dripping. Thoroughly mix your coffee from the ﬁrst drop to the last thanks to the Brew-Through

Carafe Lid. Optimize coffee temperature. Allow you to brew both hot and iced coffee.

When you make hot coffee, coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed resulting in slightly less brewed coffee than the water used. The more coffee you use, the more water will be absorbed. Additionally, our wider bottom carafe holds most of the volume coffee at the base which helps control the temperature more evenly.

Classic Brew:

Full Carafe Half Carafe

notiﬁcation

will illuminate for 3

How does the Ninja Coffee Bar keep coffee at the right temperature?

The carafe is designed to keep most of the coffee volume in the bottom so it can be held closer to the Precise Temp Warming plate. This helps maintain the coffee at the ideal drinking temperature.
