BEFORE YOUR FIRST BREW
To prime your brewer:
- Plug it into an outlet and turn it on.
- Fill the water reservoir to the Full line with fresh water and place it on the base.
- Remove the Ninja PodAdapter and slide the Sliding Lid into the closed position (Refer to the steps on page 3).
- Place the empty carafe under the brew basket and run a Full Carafe, Classic brew.
If you live in a high-altitude area, running a calibration brew is required.
Not running a high-altitude calibration brew in a high-altitude area will
result in excessive steaming during brewing.
Refer to page 7 of the Owner’s Guide for instructions on running a high-
altitude calibration brew.

LOCKING AND REMOVING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER
The Ninja DualBrew Pro Coffee System comes with a unique Ninja Pod Adapter already installed on the brewer. Always ensure the adapter is installed over the brew basket.

-
To uninstall the adapter, remove the used pod and close the handle. Push the handle away from you so the position indicator is in the REMOVE position. Then, using the edges on the left and right, lift the adapter out of the brewer.
NOTE: The Ninja Pod Adapter is compatible only with K-Cup pods. It is not compatible with reusable K-Cup filters. If using ground coffee, use the Grounds mode with a paper or permanent filter (sold separately) to brew a single-serve size
SLIDING LID
The sliding lid is used only when brewing loose coffee grounds. To use it,
first remove the Ninja Pod Adapter.
Then, using the handle on top of the brewer, slide the lid toward you until it
firmly clicks into place.

STEP 1.
Remove the reservoir from the base. Remove the removable latch from the back
of the brewer

CHOOSE A BREW
Smooth, wellbalanced flavor
Specially designed to brew hot over
ice for freshly brewed iced coffee that is not watered
down. Always fill your vessel to
the top with ice cubes before brewing Over Ice.
Richer than classic, with more intense flavor that stands up to milk, cream,
or flavoring.
A super-rich concentrate that
allows you to make coffee-based drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. Will only
brew 4 oz.
NOTE: DO NOT use any glassware except the provided Ninja carafe, which is
made of
specialized glass that is safe to use
BREW
Press the START BREW button to start
brewing. There will be an illuminating progress
bar on the display to track the status of your brew.
THE BREW MAY PAUSE ONCE OR MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE BREW CYCLE. THAT’S OK.
Pausing allows the coffee grounds to fully extract and unlock the full flavor
of the brew style.
NOTE : Ensure the drip stop is open before starting your brew.
DRIP STOP
The drip stop is used to close off the brew basket to prevent any coffee from dispensing. You will need to manually open and close the drip stop by moving the handle to your desired position. The drip stop can be closed and reopened at any point before, during, or after a brew|
CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST CUP?
Close the drip stop to pause the brew cycle, and pour yourself a cup. Then,
reopen the drip stop to continue the brew
STOP THE DRIPS AFTER A BREW
At the end of a brew, close the drip stop to prevent coffee dripping from the
brew basket and Ninja® Pod Adapter
FROTHING
THE INTEGRATED FROTHER DOES NOT HEAT MILK.
-
Add milk to your cup until it is about 1 ⁄3 full.
For cold froth, continue to Step 2.
For hot froth, microwave for 45–60 seconds
-
Swing the arm of the frother toward the front of the brewer. Install the frother whisk by twisting it to the right.
-
. Hold the cup under the frother and submerge the whisk just below the surface of the milk. Press and hold the button on top of the frother and froth for 30–45 seconds.
-
Remove the frother whisk by twisting it to the left. Keep your cup below the whisk while you carry it to your sink or dishwasher for easy cleaning.
WARNING: To avoid contact with steam and hot surfaces, DO NOT reach across top of brewer to froth.
**
** GUIDE TO KEEPING COFFEE HOT
The type of cup you brew into can greatly influence the temperature of your coffee when drinking.
CERAMIC CUP | PAPER CUP |
---|---|
Cup Temperature | Room temperature |
microwave with milk | Room temperature |
Drinking Temperature |
Hot
| Hotter
| Hotter
| Hottest
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.| Unlike a ceramic mug, a thinner paper cup does not steal substantial heat from the coffee.
NOTE : DO NOT put the carafe in the microwave.
