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 Keep the appliance and its cord out of

reach of children less than 8 years.

young children, remove and discard the
protective cover fitted on the power
plug of this appliance.

13 Turn o and allow to cool before

putting on or taking o parts, and

14 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.

electric burner or in a heated oven.

other than its intended use.
DO NOT use outdoors.

18 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use

handles or knobs.

19 To avoid contact with steam and hot

surfaces, DO NOT reach across top of
brewer to froth.

20 ALWAYS place a vessel beneath the

brew basket to receive the brewed
coee or tea.

21 Scalding may occur if brew basket is

opened during a brew or clean cycle.

22 DO NOT remove the vessel while the

appliance is running without the Drip
Stop in the closed position. Return the
vessel quickly and open the Drip Stop
to continue the brew.

23 DO NOT fill water reservoir with

anything other than water, as other
liquids may damage your brewer.

24 DO NOT overfill the water reservoir.

Fill water only to the Max Fill line.

25 DO NOT run the appliance without water.

SCA CERTIFIED HOME BREWER

The Specialty Coee Association (SCA) recognizes home brewers
that meet their longstanding rigorous technical requirements.
These requirements are based on decades of industry knowledge
and research by the Coee Brewing Center. All SCA Certified
Home Brewers have met these requirements, which are based
generally on proper water temperature, brewing time, and
ability to brew within the SCA Golden Cup recommendations

If a brewer passes all of the tests in the certification
procedure, as conducted by the SCA, that brewer will be
eligible to be recognized as an exemplary home brewer
and join the short list of SCA Certified Home Brewers.

This coeemaker has been certified by the SCA to meet their
Golden Cup Standard, designed for optimal extraction and strength.
SCA Certification testing was performed using the Half Carafe
and Full Carafe on Classic brew using the Low warming plate
setting. Testing used the following ground coee measurements:
55 grams for a Half Carafe and 77 grams for a Full Carafe. When
using the Ninja Smart Scoop™, this would be 4 heaping big scoops
for a Half Carafe and 6 heaping big scoops for a Full Carafe.
