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 taking off

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 edge

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

8 Extension cords are not recommended for use

with this product.

9 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.

1-877-646-5288

10 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.

11 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

12 DO NOT use well water, use tap water. 13 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. 14 ALWAYS use appliance on a dry, level surface. 15 DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric

burner, or in a heated oven. 16 DO NOT use this appliance for anything other

than its intended use. DO NOT use outdoors. 17 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles

orknobs. 18 DO NOT touch warming plate while the brewer

is in use. 19 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.

Glass Carafe

20 The carafe is designed for use with this

appliance. It must never be used on a range

top. 21 DO NOT set a hot carafe on a wet or cold

surface. 22 DO NOT use a cracked or scratched carafe or a

carafe that has a loose or weakened handle.

23 DO NOT clean carafe with abrasive cleansers,

steel wool pads, or other abrasive material. 24 DO NOT place carafe in microwave. 25 DO NOT expose carafe to extreme temperature

changes. 26 DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electrical

burner, or in a heated oven. 27 DO NOT use for carbonated beverages. 28 DO NOT drink directly from the carafe. Liquid

from the carafe may be very hot. 29 DO NOT use the carafe to store any other type

of food when not in use. 30 Ensure that 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. 31 To prevent illness from bacterial growth in the

appliance, follow all cleaning instructions in the

“Care & Maintenance” section of this owner’s

guide.

Maintenance

32 Remove the power cord from the electrical

outlet and allow unit to cool before removing

Features of the Ninja Coffee Bar

• Thermal Flavor Extraction® Technology - Blends Precision Water Delivery with automated controls for Calibrated Temperature, Pre-infusion, Coffee Saturation, and Flavor Richness. Ninja’s Advanced Thermal Flavor Extraction technology can truly unlock the full ﬂavor potential of your coffee.

• Custom Brews – Ability to 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 to create a super-rich concentrate to use as a key ingredient in all kinds of hot milk-based,

iced, and frozen coffeehouse-style drinks.

e. Cafe Forte for deep, full-bodied, and complex ﬂavor that is so rich and drinkable, it tastes great

black—no milk or sweeteners needed.

• Multi-Serve Cup Platform – Pull it down, place your favorite cup on it and brew directly into it.

• Removable Water Reservoir with Easy Access Flip-Top Lid – For quick and easy ﬁlling.

• Auto-iQ™ – The Ninja Coffee Bar knows how much water to use for each size and brew type.

• 50 oz. Glass Carafe

• LED Control Panels with Programmable Digital Clock

• 24-Hour Programmable Delay Brew Button – Set it to automatically brew the following morning.

• Drip Stop – Stops the ﬂow of coffee from the brew basket, allowing you to pour a cup mid-brew; switch toggle to the closed position to prevent dripping once the brew cycle is ﬁnished.

• Clean Function – It illuminates when your Ninja Coffee Bar senses that there is hard water calcium buildup in your brewer which can affect the ﬂavor of your coffee. When it illuminates, follow the cleaning instructions in the Care & Maintenance section or printed on the back of your brewer.

• Stay Warm Button – Your warming plate will automatically turn on after brewing a carafe and turn off after 2 hours. The Stay Warm button allows you to manually turn the warming plate off.

• Intelligent Warming Plate – Automatically adjusts the temperature of the warming plate to keep your coffee at the ideal drinking temperature without burning it.

• Audible Ready Signal – Alerts you that your coffee is ready.

• 2 hour shut off – Automatically turns off the warming plate two hours after you brew coffee.

• Permanent Filter - The permanent ﬁlter is a reusable ﬁlter that preserves the natural coffee oils and small coffee particles to provide a robust ﬂavor, similar to what you would experience when using a French press.

• Pre-Heat - After plugging in or turning your brewer on from Power Save mode, allow 3 minutes for your brewer to pre-heat. When plugged in, your Ninja Coffee Bar will stay ready in pre-warmed mode unless you put the brewer into power save mode.
