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.

English

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

orknobs.

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.

HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?

CAUTION: Please ensure that you are using at least a 350 ml cup for the Cup size, 414 ml cup for the XL Cup size, 475 ml travel mug for the Travel Mug size, and 590 ml travel mug for the XL Multi-Serve size to prevent overﬂow and a scalding injury.

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

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

Why is there a difference?

A cold ceramic

mug will steal heat

from the coffee as

it warms itself up.

If the mug is

already warm, it

will not steal as

much heat from

the coffee.

Just like your

cold mug, cold milk lowers the temperature of

your coffee.

The double-

walled Ninja 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.

PRE-HEATING

1 Plug in your brewer, then press the Power button to initiate pre-heating. You will see the Pre-Heating light turn on. 2 Allow 3 minutes for your brewer to pre-heat. 3 After 3 minutes, the Pre-Heating light will turn off. Your brewer is now pre-heated. 4 Your Ninja Coffee Bar System will stay pre-heated for 72 hours unless you turn the brewer off by pressing the Power

FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE

For best results, use the measurement chart in the next column to determine how much ground coffee to use for each brew size. The amount of ground coffee for each size will remain the same for any brew type 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 Over Ice Brew.

CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground

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

1 Open the brew basket by sliding it out of the brewer.

(Fig. 13)

NOTE: Check for any loose grounds that may be left in

the brew basket. Remove and rinse the removable ﬁlter holder if needed.

2 Place the permanent ﬁlter or a #4 paper cone ﬁlter

in the removable ﬁlter holder. If using a paper ﬁlter, ﬁrst ensure the permanent ﬁlter is removed from the removable ﬁlter holder. Then fold the paper ﬁlter along the seams, open it fully, and ﬁrmly press it into the brew basket, making sure it is ﬁrmly seated. (Fig. 14)

3 Use the Ninja Scoop and follow the measurements

in the chart to ﬁll the ﬁlter. These measurements are based on level scoops—adjust to your preferred taste. (Fig. 15) We suggest using a medium-sized grind if grinding whole beans.

Serving Size Ninja Scoop Tablespoons

Cup / XL Cup 2–3 small scoops 2–3 Tbsp.

Travel Mug /

3–5 small scoops 3–5 Tbsp.

Half Carafe 3–4 big scoops 6–8 Tbsp. Full Carafe 4–6 big scoops 8–12 Tbsp.

Signature Brews Ninja Scoop Tablespoons

Specialty (4 oz. Brew) 2 big scoops 4 Tbsp.

Cafe Forte (8 oz. Brew) 2 big scoops 4 Tbsp.

NOTE: Exceeding the recommended medium grind

size for whole beans may cause the brew basket to overﬂow.

4 Slide the brew basket back into the brewer until it clicks

into place.

DRIP STOP

NOTE: If the Drip Stop is closed before you begin a brew, the brewer will notify you with 5 beeps and the Drip Stop indicator will illuminate. Set the Drip Stop to the open position and select your brew concentration level.

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. Promptly replace the carafe and open the Drip Stop to complete the brew. (Fig. 16)

NOTE: If you forget to open the Drip Stop, the Ninja Coffee Bar System 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 illuminate.

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

1-877-646-5288

INTELLIGENT WARMING PLATE

The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on after a Full or Half Carafe size of Classic or Rich Brew. The Intelligent Warming Plate will adjust the heat it produces 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.

STAY WARM BUTTON

Press the Stay Warm button after the brew to turn the Intelligent Warming Plate off. You can turn the Intelligent Warming Plate back on within 2 hours of the brew by pressing the Stay Warm button again. (Fig.17 )

Fig . 18 Fig . 19

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 the coffee grounds.

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

carafe with hot water prior to brewing.

CAUTION: Ensure the coffee cup, mug, or glass carafe is completely empty before starting a brewing cycle. Starting a brewing cycle with coffee in the vessel could cause an overﬂow.

CUSTOM BREWS: CLASSIC & RICH

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 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 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 you are using at least a 350 ml cup for the Cup size, 415 ml cup for the XL Cup size, 475 ml travel mug for the Travel Mug size, and 590 ml travel mug for the XL Multi-Serve size.

3 Press the Classic Brew or Rich Brew button and the

brew will begin. (Fig. 18, Fig. 19) Press the Classic Brew or Rich Brew button again to cancel the brew.

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 the coffee grounds.

NOTE: If brewing a half carafe or a full carafe, the

Stay Warm indicator and Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on. (Fig. 18, Fig. 19) This can be turned off by pressing the Stay Warm button once illuminated. The Intelligent Warming Plate will turn off automatically after 2 hours.

NOTE: Do not remove water reservoir, brew basket, or

vessel while brewing.

4 The Ninja Coffee Bar System will beep to signal a

completed brew.

NOTE: Rich Brew will use slightly less water and yield

slightly less brewed coffee than Classic Brew.

OVER ICE BREW - Designed to brew hot coffee over ice

to lock in the ﬂavor for a rich, freshly brewed, smooth iced coffee that’s not watered down. Be sure your vessel is ﬁlled with ice before brewing.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE GLASSWARE. However, the

provided glass carafe is safe to use due to the specialized glass material.

1 After ﬁlling the water reservoir, add ground coffee to the

ﬁlter. Be sure the Drip Stop is open and the reservoir, brew basket and ﬁlter are in place.

2 Use the Multi-Serve dial to select the size of coffee that

you would like to brew.

3 Before brewing, ﬁll the desired vessel to the top with ice

cubes and place the vessel below the brew basket. Press the Over Ice Brew button and the brew will begin. (Fig. 20) Press the Over Ice Brew button again to cancel the brew.

IMPORTANT: Always ﬁll the desired vessel to the

top with ice before placing it below the brew basket. Do not add ice to the water reservoir.

NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for

a short period of time before it begins again. This pre-infusion process is used to evenly saturate the coffee grounds.

NOTE: If making a carafe of Over Ice Brew, ﬁll the

carafe with ice and brew without the brew-through lid.

4 The Ninja Coffee Bar System will beep to signal a

completed brew. Stir to cool coffee completely.

CAUTION: Make sure to use the proper cup size to

prevent coffee from overﬂowing the cup.

FROTHING YOUR MILK

1 Pour milk into cup, until it is about one-third full. (Use

more or less milk depending on your preference.) Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds for hot milk.

2 Move the frother into the ready position by swinging the

arm toward the front.

3 Hold the cup under the frother and submerge the whisk

just below the surface of the milk. This allows air to fold into the milk, for the frothiest results. (Fig. 23)

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™ System, as

calcium scale buildup could be affecting the ﬂavor of

your coffee. To clean and descale your Ninja Coffee Bar System:

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 (1.5 L).

Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (475 ml)

with white vinegar, then ﬁll the rest of the reservoir with

water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line (1.5 L).

IMPOR TA NT: Use only white vinegar. 3 Once the water reservoir is ﬁlled with your cleaning

solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button.

(Fig. 26)

NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, press the Power

button or 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.

IMPOR TA NT: 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 System 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 (1.5 L) 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 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

If using a permanent ﬁlter, the sediment at the bottom of the brewed coffee may be due to using

Sediment in my coffee.

Grounds in my coffee.

The brew basket drips even after the brew cycle is completed.

Paper ﬁlter is folding over.

Coffee is not hot enough.

Over Ice Brew is not cold.

Weak coffee.

Coffee too strong.

Brew will not start, or will not complete the full brew selected.

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

ﬁlter. A ﬁlter must be in place when brewing (either the permanent ﬁlter or a paper ﬁlter). It is possible

that the brew basket overﬂowed. Once cooled, clean out the removable ﬁlter holder and reﬁll using the appropriate amount of coffee. Too many grounds can cause the brew basket to overﬂow. Alternatively, ﬁne ground coffee can clog the removable ﬁlter holder. For best brewing results, use a medium-ground coffee.

Once the brew cycle is complete, move the drip stop to the closed position, denoted by a water droplet with a slash through it, before removing your brewing vessel.

The Ninja Coffee this size and shape, as larger sizes may fold over. If not, allow the brew basket to cool before handling. The paper ﬁlters are thicker on two edges. Fold those edges along their creases (one along the bottom and one along the side) before inserting into the brew basket. Alternatively, you can wet the sides of the paper ﬁlter to temporarily adhere it to the brew basket.

NOTE: When using a paper ﬁlter, do not use the permanent ﬁlter. 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 on your Ninja Coffee Bar System, the pre-heat notiﬁcation will illuminate for 3 minutes as it warms up. Once it has warmed up to the proper 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 System, keep it plugged in and powered on at all times to allow the brewing system to remain warm and ready to brew.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use hot water in the water reservoir. We recommend cool, fresh, ﬁltered water.

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.

For stronger coffee, try the Rich Brew setting using dark roast beans and the permanent ﬁlter in your brew basket (rather than a paper ﬁlter). If you want an even bolder ﬂavor, you can add more coffee grounds to the brew basket — just keep in mind that the additional grounds do absorb liquid, so you will wind up with a more concentrated, smaller cup of coffee.

For milder coffee, try the Classic Brew setting using light roast beans and a paper ﬁlter in your brew basket (rather than the permanent ﬁlter). If you want an even milder ﬂavor, you can put less coffee in the brew basket — just keep in mind that grounds do absorb liquid during the normal brew cycle, so you will wind up with a less concentrated, larger cup of coffee.

Ensure the unit is powered on and the display is illuminated. If there are no lights, it means the machine is not getting power. Try a different outlet and press the Power button. Check to make sure there is water in the water reservoir.

Make sure the Drip Stop is open, as the machine will beep 5 times and the brew cycle will not start if the Drip Stop is in the closed position. If the Drip Stop LED is illuminated, and the Drip Stop is in the open position, it means the brew basket was inserted incorrectly. Reinsert the brew basket by aligning it with the rails and slide it into the brewer until it clicks in place.

If the above actions have not stopped the beeping, it may be time to run the clean cycle. Please refer to the Care & Maintenance section.

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 the coffee grounds.

A carafe brew will take approximately 8 minutes and a 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™ System is designed to dispense the following amounts on Classic

brew: Cup 281 ml

XL Cup 340 ml Travel Mug 414 ml XL Multi-Serve 532 ml Half Carafe 828 ml Carafe 1.27 L

Please ensure you are using at least a 350 ml cup for the Cup size, 415 ml cup for the XL Cup size, 475 ml travel mug for the Travel Mug size, and 590 ml travel mug for the XL Multi-Serve size.

NOTE: On Rich Brew and Over Ice Brew there will be less volume dispensed. Specialty Brew will deliver approximately 118 ml and Cafe Forte will deliver approximately 236 ml.

The bottom opening is clogged. This can happen with ﬁnely ground coffee or too many coffee grounds in the brew basket. Medium-ground coffee is recommended.

Fill the reservoir with water 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 leftover 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, 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

Ensure you are ﬁlling your water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line. 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.

If the leak is coming from the brew basket, make sure that all parts are assembled correctly and securely. If the leak is coming from the bottom of the brewer, call customer service at 1-877-646-5288.

Once the Ninja Coffee Bar System has brewed the ﬁrst cup, the brewing system is prewarmed. This enables any following brews to be slightly hotter. For a hot ﬁrst cup, try pre-warming your mug. Or after plugging in and turning on your brewer by pressing the Power button, allow 3 minutes for your brewer to preheat.

Our unique carafe shape and design has the following beneﬁts: Easy-grip design makes it easy to pour coffee without dripping. It thoroughly mixes your coffee from the ﬁrst drop to the last thanks to the brew-

through carafe lid. Optimizes coffee temperature. Allows you to brew both hot and iced coffee.
