BEFORE YOUR FIRST BREW
To prime your brewer:

1. Plug it into an outlet and turn it on.
2. Fill the water reservoir to the Full line with fresh water and place it on the base.
3. Remove the Ninja Pod Adapter and slide the Sliding Lid into the closed position (refer to steps on page 3).
4. Place the empty carafe under the brew basket and run a Full Carafe, Classic brew.

Once the brew is complete, discard the water and you’re ready to go.
If you live in a high-altitude area be sure to run a calibration brew. Refer to the Owner’s Guide for complete instructions. 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

2. 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.

The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on while brewing a Classic or Rich brew on any Carafe size and remain on for 2 hours. To adjust how long the  ntelligent Warming Plate remains on (up to 4 hours), refer to the Owner’s Guide.
When the Intelligent Warming Plate is on, it can be turned off manually by pressing KEEP WARM.
It can be turned on manually by pressing KEEP WARM while a Classic or Rich brew and any Carafe size is selected in Grounds mode.

IMPORTANT: The light on the base of the brewer will illuminate only when the warming plate is hot and will remain illuminated until the plate has cooled down.

NINJA SMART SCOOP™

The Ninja Smart Scoop is used for accurately measuring coffee grounds. The numbers beside the icons show the number of level scoops recommended for each brew size.

IMPORTANT: Always measure with level scoops of a medium grind size. Use fewer scoops when brewing decaf coffee. DO NOT use a paper filter in conjunction with a permanent filter.

NOTE: Make sure to use a vessel that is big enough for the brew size you select.

CHOOSE A BREW

Smooth, well- balanced 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 118 ml (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.

1. Add milk to your cup until it is about1 ⁄3 full.
   For cold froth, continue to Step 2.
   For hot froth, microwave for 45–60 seconds.

2. Swing the arm of the frother toward the front of the brewer. Install the frother whisk by twisting it to the right.

3. 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.

4. 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| Pre-warmed
with hot water| Pre-warmed in 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.
