SCA CERTIFICATION

SCA CERTIFIED HOME BREWER
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) recognizes homebrewers that meet their longstanding rigorous technical requirements. These requirements are based on decades of industry knowledge and research by the Coffee 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 the procedure, as conducted by the SCA, that the brewer will be eligible to be recognized as an exemplary home brewer and join the short list of SCA Certified Home Brewers.

This coffeemaker has been certified by the SCA to meet its 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 coffee measurements: 55 grams for a Half Carafe and 77 grams for a Full Carafe. When using the Ninja Smart Scoop(TM), this would be 4 heaping big scoops for a Half Carafe and 6 heaping big scoops for a Full Carafe.

BEFORE FIRST USE

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 coffee 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.
3. After 5 seconds, the clock will stop flashing and the clock will be set.

NOTE: If the clock stops flashing and does not display the correct time of day, pressing the hour (H) or minute (M) button at any time will cause the clock to flash again. You can now reprogram the correct time by following the previous steps.

NOTE: If you unplug the brewer or in the event of an extended power loss, you will need to reset the clock the next time the brewer is plugged in.

PRIMING YOUR NINJA HOT & COLD BREWED SYSTEM™

1. To fill the water reservoir, use the hand grips to lift it to the right and up off 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).

2. Return the water reservoir to the brewer (Fig. 4). DO NOT fill the water reservoir with anything other than water, as other liquids may damage your brewer Ensure one of the removable filter holders is nested inside the brew basket (Fig. 5).

3. Once in place, slide the brew basket all the way in until you hear a slight click (Fig. 6). Twist the brew-through lid clockwise onto the carafe to lock it into place (Fig. 7) and center the carafe below the brew basket (Fig. 8).
   NOTE: Do not place any ground coffee or tea in the brew basket for the first two cycles.

4. Once all parts are securely in place and the unit is powered on, select the Full Carafe size and Classic Brew setting, then press the START/SELECT dial (Fig. 9).

5. When the cycle is complete, discard the water in the carafe. Repeat, beginning with step 1. You are now ready to use your Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System to Brew.

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 and the Tea button until the clock display begins a two-minute countdown.
4. A calibration cycle will begin. When complete, the unit will beep and the 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.

HOW MUCH DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?
Each size and brew type produces a different amount of coffee and tea to optimize strength and taste.
NOTE: The coffee grounds and tea will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in slightly less brewed coffee or tea than water used.

APPROXIMATE BREW VOLUMES

You don’t need to adjust the size for Specialty Brew—it always yields 4 oz. of coffee and 6 oz. of tea.

FILLING THE COFFEE BREW BASKET

For best results, use the coffee measurement chart 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. The only exception is Cold Brew, which requires one extra scoop of coffee, 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 coffee bean icon.
2. Place the coffee 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

Your unit will deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute 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 the clean cycle.

4. Upon completion, the brewer will beep, the clock will display End, 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 the solution that could affect the flavor of your coffee or tea.

5. Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill the line and set the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.

6. 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 off when your brewer is clean.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

There’s sediment in my coffee.

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

• To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coffee, use a slightly coarser grind or use a paper filter.
  NOTE: We DO NOT recommend using a paper filter in conjunction with the permanent filter, as clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the filter the 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 coffee or tea to the perfect temperature. Coffee or tea is too weak.

• COFFEE: For stronger coffee, 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 coffee grinds to the brew basket. Additional grinds do absorb liquid, so you will have a more concentrated, smaller cup of coffee.

• TEA: For a stronger tea, use the RICH brew setting, or add more tea to the brew basket. Coffee or tea is too strong.

• COFFEE: For milder coffee, 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 coffee grinds in the brew basket.

• TEA: For milder tea, use the CLASSIC brew setting, or use less tea in the brew basket. The 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 the brewing 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. The brew basket overflowed.

• The bottom of the filter holder may be clogged. This can happen with finely ground coffee or too many coffee grinds in the brew basket. Medium-ground coffee is recommended.
  NOTE: When using a paper filter, do not use the permanent filter

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 different 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.
  The 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”

• The system does not have enough water in the reservoir to complete your brew. Add fresh water to the reservoir and then press the START/SELECT dial to resume. “CLn”

• The system has detected that a clean cycle needs to be run immediately to remove calcium scale buildup in the boiler. See ‘Cleaning & Descaling Your Brewing System’ for instructions.
