BEFORE FIRST USE
PRIMING YOUR
NINJA HOT & COLD BREWED SYSTEM™
PLEASE KEEP THIS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARD IN MIND
WHEN USING THE APPLIANCE:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the appliance without water.
1 Remove all packaging material and stickers from the brewer.
2 Wash the water reservoir, glass carafe, removable filter holders, and coee
and tea permanent filters in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth.
3 Rinse parts and dry thoroughly.
4 Before first use, prime the system by running two Full Carafe, Classic Brew
cycles with water only. After each cycle is complete, discard the water.
SETTING THE CLOCK
1 Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The clock will flash on the
control panel to indicate that the time has not been set (Fig. 1).
2 Press the hour (H) or minute (M) button until you reach the current time.
The AM or PM indicator will illuminate on the left side of the display as you
are setting the time.
3After 5 seconds, the clock will stop flashing and the clock will be set.
1 To fill the water reservoir, use the
hand grips to lift it to the right and
up o the brewer (Fig. 2). Flip the
reservoir lid open or remove the
entire lid, then add fresh, filtered
water up to, but not exceeding,
the Max Fill line (Fig. 3). Return
the water reservoir to the brewer
(Fig. 4). DO NOT fill water reservoir
with anything other than water,
as other liquids may damage
your brewer.
Fig. 2
2 Ensure one of the removable filter
holders is nested inside the brew
basket (Fig. 5). Once in place, slide
the brew basket all the way in until
you hear a slight click (Fig. 6).

HIGH-ALTITUDE CALIBRATION
(OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED FOR
USERS IN HIGH-ALTITUDE AREAS)
Because water boils at lower temperatures
at higher altitudes, running a calibration
cycle before your first brew allows the unit
to detect the boiling point of water at your
location. Running a calibration cycle will
help deliver a consistent brew each time.
1. Fill the water reservoir up to, but not
exceeding, the Max Fill line.
2. Place an empty filter holder into the
brew basket, and an empty vessel in
the machine.
3. Press and hold both the Drip Stop
button
the clock display begins a two-minute
countdown.
4. A calibration cycle will begin. When
complete, the unit will beep and End will
appear on the clock display. Discard the
water in the vessel.
NOTE: Pressing the Drip Stop button
Tea button , or Power button will
cancel the calibration cycle.
and the Tea button until
HOW MUCH DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?
Each size and brew type produces a dierent amount of coee and tea
to optimize strength and taste.
NOTE:
The coee grounds and tea will absorb some of the water that is
brewed, resulting in slightly less brewed coee or tea than water used.

PREPARING & USING
THE NINJA HOT & COLD BREWED SYSTEM™
FILLING THE COFFEE
BREW BASKET
For best results, use the coee
measurement chart to determine how
much ground coee to use for each
brew size. The amount of ground
coee 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 coee grounds as if you
select Cup and Over Ice Brew. The
only exception is Cold Brew, which
requires one extra scoop of coee,
regardless of the size.
1 Open the brew basket by sliding it
out of the brewer (Fig. 10). Ensure
you have the COFFEE filter holder
in the machine, denoted by the
orange handle with the coee
bean icon.
2 Place the coee permanent filter
or a #4 paper cone filter in the
COFFEE filter holder. If using
a paper filter, first ensure the
permanent filter is removed from
the filter holder. Then fold the
paper filter along the seams, open
it fully, and firmly press it into the
filter holder making sure it is fully
seated (Fig. 11).
3 Use the Ninja Smart Scoop™
and follow the measurements in
the chart to fill the brew basket
(Fig. 12). These measurements
are based on level scoops—adjust
to your preferred taste. We
suggest using a medium-sized
grind if grinding whole beans.
4 Slide the brew basket back into the
brewer until it clicks into place.
FILLING THE TEA BREW BASKET
For best results, use the tea
measurement chart to determine
how many tea bags or how much
loose leaf tea to use for each brew
size. The amount of tea for each size
will remain the same for any brew
type you select.
1 Open the brew basket by sliding it
out of the brewer (Fig. 10). Ensure
you have the TEA filter holder in
the machine, denoted by the green
handle with the tea leaf icon.
2 Place the tea permanent filter in the
TEA filter holder (Fig. 11). When
using tea bags, you may remove
the tea permanent filter if more
space is needed in the brew basket.
3 Use the Ninja Smart Scoop™
and follow the recommended
measurements in the chart to fill
the brew basket, adjusting to your
preferred taste (Fig. 12).
4 Slide the brew basket back into the
brewer until it clicks into place.

AUTOMATIC DRIP STOP
The system is equipped with an
automatic drip stop. When the Drip
Stop button
is illuminated, the drip
stop is closed and no coee or tea will
flow out of the brew basket.
When brewing a half or full carafe,
press the Drip Stop button

Stop button to resume the brew,
the unit will pause the brew, and after
30 seconds it will give you a friendly
audible reminder. After 5 minutes, the
brew will be canceled.
DRIP STOP TIME SETTTING
After a brew is complete, the drip
stop will automatically close. Some
types of coee, such as finely ground
or decaf, can take a little longer to
fully drain from the brew basket. To
extend the amount of time the drip
stop remains open after a brew,
follow these instructions:
1 Press and hold the Drip Stop button
(Fig. 13a) until the clock display
flashes either dFLt (default) or the
previously specified time.
2 Press either the hour (H) or minute
(M) button until the desired
extension time is shown: dFLt
(default), :15 (+15 seconds), :30 (+30
seconds), :45 (+45 seconds), :60
(+60 seconds), or OFF (Fig. 13b).
NOTE: When OFF is selected, the drip
stop will remain open after a brew is
complete. You can close the Drip Stop
at any time by pressing the Drip Stop
button again. dFLt (default) is the
machine’s default time setting.
3 Press the Drip Stop button
to set
the new time. Or wait 5 seconds, and
the unit will beep, signifying that the

the Delay Brew.
FROTHING MILK
1 Pour milk into cup, until it is about
1
/3 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. 20).
4 Press and hold the frothing button
for 30 to 45 seconds (Fig. 21).
5 You can easily remove the frother
whisk by twisting it clockwise. To
avoid spills, keep your cup below
the whisk and carry it to your sink
or dishwasher for cleaning (Fig. 22).
CLEANING AFTER A BREW
NOTE: For best results, we
recommend rinsing the reservoir
after brewing and refilling with fresh
water for the next brew.
1 After the unit has cooled, remove the
filter holder from the brew basket.
If using a paper coee filter, discard
it. If using either the coee or tea
permanent filter, wash it thoroughly
with soap and warm water or place
on top rack of dishwasher.
2 Clean the frother whisk after each
use. Hand-wash thoroughly or place
on top rack of dishwasher.
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. DO NOT use a
wire brush.
NOTE: The glass carafe, brew-through
lid, coee and tea permanent filters,
removable filter holders, water reservoir,
flip-top lid, frother whisk, and scoop are
top-rack dishwasher safe.
4 After the brewer has cooled, wipe
down the main unit, showerhead,
and water reservoir shelf with a
cloth and warm water. DO NOT
immerse the brewer in water.
CLEANING YOUR WATER RESERVOIR
Empty the water reservoir and handwash or place in your dishwasher.
CLEANING YOUR CARAFE
We recommend cleaning your carafe
with warm, soapy water.
If you want to clean the carafe more
thoroughly, we recommend using a soft
foam brush. DO NOT use a wire brush.

CLEANING & DESCALING
YOUR BREWING SYSTEM
The CLEAN button will illuminate when
a cleaning cycle is recommended for
your unit, as calcium scale buildup
could be aecting the flavor of your
coee or tea.
To clean and descale your
Ninja
Hot & Cold Brewed 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 coeemaker cleaning
and follow the directions on the
package. Fill the water reservoir up
to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill
line (50 oz.).
OR
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.
IMPORTANT:
Use only white vinegar.
3 Once the water reservoir is filled
with your cleaning solution and
water mixture, press the CLEAN
button (Fig. 23).
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.
Continue to follow the instructions
starting at Step 6.
IMPORTANT: If you cancel the
clean cycle, your machine willnot be properly descaled.
4 The clock will display and count
down the remaining clean cycle
time, which takes approximately
60 minutes to complete. Your
unit will deliver a small amount of
cleaning solution to distribute it
through the system. It will then pause,
deliver additional cleaning solution,
and continue for 60 minutes. The
extended pauses allow for maximum
cleaning and descaling.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the
carafe at any time throughout theclean cycle.
5 Upon completion, the brewer will
beep, the clock will display End,
and the CLEAN light will turn o.
6 Empty and thoroughly clean the
carafe and water reservoir with warm,
soapy water to remove any cleaning
solution that could aect the flavor
of your coee or tea.
7 Fill the reservoir with fresh water
up to, but not exceeding, the Max
Fill line 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.
NOTE: If the CLEAN light illuminates
again, then calcium buildup is still
present. Repeat the cleaning cycle
instructions from the beginning, and
the CLEAN light will automatically turn
o when your brewer is clean.
There’s sediment in my coee.
•
If using a permanent filter, the sediment at the bottom of the brewed coee may be
due to using finely ground coee.
•
To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coee, use a slightly coarser grind or
use a paper filter.
NOTE: We DO NOT recommended using a paper filter in conjunction with the
permanent filter, as clogging and backing up of water and/or coee in the filter
basket can occur.
OVER ICE Brew and COLD BREW are not cold.
• Ensure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is filled all the way to the top with ice
cubes before brewing. Your Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System™ will brew at
elevated temperatures to lock in the best flavor, then the ice will cool the
brewed coee or tea to the perfect temperature.
Coee or tea is too weak.
• COFFEE: For stronger coee, use the RICH brew setting, try darker roast beans,
or use the permanent filter rather than a paper filter. If you want an even bolder
flavor, you can add more coee grinds to the brew basket. Additional grinds do
absorb liquid, so you will have a more concentrated, smaller cup of coee.
• TEA: For stronger tea, use the RICH brew setting, or add more tea to the
brew basket.
Coee or tea is too strong.
• COFFEE: For milder coee, use the CLASSIC brew setting, use lighter roast
beans, or use a paper filter rather than the permanent filter. If you want an
even milder flavor, you can put fewer coee grinds in the brew basket.
• TEA: For milder tea, use the CLASSIC brew setting, or use less tea in
the brew basket.
Brew cycle is too slow.
• Depending on your settings, your brew time will vary from around 4 minutes
to 18 minutes. The progress bar on the control panel will indicate brew status.
Cup or travel mug overflowed.
• Ensure you are using at least a 12 oz. cup for the Cup size, 14 oz. cup for the
XL Cup size, 16 oz. travel mug for the Travel Mug size, and 20 oz. travel mug
for the XL Multi-Serve size.
Brew basket overflowed.
• The bottom of the filter holder may be clogged. This can happen with finely
ground coee or too many coee grinds in the brew basket. Medium-ground
coee is recommended.
NOTE: When using a paper filter, do not use the permanent filter.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
There’s water left in my reservoir.
• The water reservoir markings are minimum fill lines that indicate the amount
of water needed for that brew size. However, all brew styles use dierent
amounts of water to create the proper flavor and concentration,
leaving some water to remain.
My Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System is leaking.
• 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 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.
CLEAN light is on.
• Run a clean cycle. If you have recently completed a clean cycle, you may
need to run a second cycle to remove additional mineral buildup that occurs
naturally over time.
There’s no Rooibos or Pu’erh tea type setting.
• Use the Herbal tea setting for Rooibos and the Black tea setting for Pu’erh.
CLOCK DISPLAY MESSAGES:
“Add” “Wtr”
