WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury,
death or damage when using this appliance, follow
these basic safety precautions.
General Precautions
1 DO NOT allow young children to operate the
appliance or use as a toy. Close supervision
is necessary when any appliance is used near
children.
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 removing any
parts and before cleaning.
5 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,
or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
7 DO NOT let the power cord hang over the edges
of tables or counters 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.
9 The use of an accessory not recommended by the
manufacturer may create an overflow condition
and scalding hazard, or result in fire, electric
shock, or personal injury.
10 DO NOT operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in
an appliance garage always unplug the unit from
the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a
risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the
walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as
it closes.
Operating Notice
11 DO NOT use well water; use tap water.
12 Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee
in the filter basket can occur under any of the
following conditions: The use of coffee that is too
finely ground; using two or more paper filters;
using a permanent filter in conjunction with a
paper filter; not cleaning coffee grounds from a
permanent filter; or allowing coffee grounds to spill
over the filter.
13 ALWAYS use appliance on a dry, level surface.
14 DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
15 DO NOT use this appliance for anything other than
its intended use. DO NOT use outdoors.
16 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles
orknobs.
17 DO NOT touch warming plate while the brewer is
in use.
18 DO NOT reach across top of brewer to froth
during brewing. Steam is released from vent on
top of brewer and can result in a steam burn.
19 DO NOT run the appliance without water.
20 ALWAYS place a vessel beneath the brew basket
to receive the brewed coffee.
21 DO NOT overfill the water reservoir. Fill water only
to the Max Fill line.
Glass Carafe
22 The carafe is designed for use with this appliance
only. It must never be used on a stovetop.
23 DO NOT set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface.
24 DO NOT use a cracked or scratched carafe or a
carafe that has a loose or weakened handle.
25 DO NOT clean carafe with abrasive cleansers,
steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
26 DO NOT place carafe in microwave.
27 DO NOT expose carafe to extreme temperature
changes.
28 DO NOT place carafe on or near a hot gas or
electrical burner, or in a heated oven.
29 DO NOT use carafe for carbonated beverages.
30 DO NOT drink directly from the carafe. Liquid from
the carafe may be very hot.
31 DO NOT use the carafe to store food when not in
use.
32 Ensure the carafe is completely empty before
starting a cleaning or brewing cycle. Starting a
cycle with water or coffee in the carafe will cause
an overflow.
Maintenance
33 Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet
and allow unit to cool before removing brew
basket, water reservoir, or filters before surface
cleaning.
34 To prevent illness from bacterial growth in the
appliance, follow all cleaning instructions in the
Care & Maintenance section of this Owner’s
Guide.

SharkNinja Operating LLC at 1-877-646-5288
or ninjakitchen.com for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
36 Clean the system on a weekly basis.
Cord Statement
37 A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.

temperature, pre-infusion, coffee saturation, and flavor richness to unlock the full flavor potential of your coffee.
• Custom Brews – Brew directly into your favorite cup, travel mug, or carafe.
• Brew Types – Control the strength and style of your coffee:
a. Classic Brew for smooth, balanced flavor from your favorite coffee.
b. Rich Brew for a richer, never-bitter coffee flavor that stands up to milk, cream, or flavoring.
c. Over Ice Brew for a smooth, rich, freshly brewed iced coffee that’s not watered down.
d. Specialty Brew for creating a super-rich concentrate to use as a key ingredient in all kinds of hot milk-based,
iced, and frozen coffeehouse-style drinks.

sweeteners needed.

• Clean Function – When your Ninja Coffee Bar System senses there is hard-water calcium buildup in your brewer,
which can affect the flavor of your coffee, the CLE AN light will illuminate. Follow the cleaning instructions in the Care &
