PREPARING FOR USE

SETTING THE CLOCK

1. When the brewer is plugged in, the clock display and HR/MIN will begin to flash.
2. Use the Dial to select the correct hour. Then, press the HR/MIN button to toggle to minutes.
3. Use the dial again to select the correct minute, and press the HR/MIN button to set the clock at  the displayed time.

NOTE: At any time, you can set the clock by pressing the HR/MIN button and following steps 2-3.
NOTE: If you unplug the brewer or in the event of a power loss, you will need to reset the clock the next time the brewer is plugged in.

HIGH-ALTITUDE CALIBRATION BREW

Required for users in high-altitude areas. Not running the high-altitude calibration brew in a high-altitude area will result in excessive steaming during brewing.
Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes, running a calibration cycle before your first brew allows the brewer 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 Full line.

2. Insert the brew basket and close the flip-top lid, then place an empty carafe on the base.

3. Power on the unit and press the Grounds Button. Ensure the Drip Stop is set to the open position.
   Next, press and hold both Grounds Button and HR/MIN until you hear a confirmation sound.

4. A calibration cycle will begin, and the display will count down until the altitude calibration is complete. When complete, the brewer will beep and display “End” on the dial. Discard the water in the carafe.

NOTE: This calibration is permanently saved and will not be lost if power is lost or brew is unplugged. Brewer can be recalibrated at any time if the altitude where it is being used changes.

BEFORE THE FIRST BREW

1. Clean all accessories before your first brew.
2. Plug the brewer in and turn it on by pressing the power button.
3. Lift the water reservoir off of its base. Remove the reservoir lid. Add water up to, but not exceeding, the Full line. Return the water reservoir to the brewer. DO NOT fill the water reservoir with anything other than water, as other liquids may damage your brewer.

NOTE: We recommend using cool or room-temperature water in the reservoir. DO NOT fill with hot or boiling water.

PRIMING THE CAPSULE SIDE

1. Ensure the lever is closed. Do not insert a capsule.
2. Center a vessel under the capsule brew outlet. Press the Capsule Button to select Lungo.
3. To start, press START. When the cycle is complete, discard the water and rinse the vessel. Repeat this process 3 times. You are now ready to brew capsules.

PRIMING THE GROUND COFFEE SIDE

1. Ensure the brew basket is fully installed in the unit and close the flip-top lid. Do not add coffee.
2. Center the carafe with the brew-through lid installed below the grounds brew outlet. Press the Grounds Button to select Classic and turn the dial to select the Full Carafe size.
3. To start, press START BREW. When the cycle is complete, discard the water and rinse the carafe. You are now ready to brew ground coffee.

CAPSULES

Ristretto| Espresso| Lungo| Over Ice
25 mL| 40 mL| 110 mL| 30 mL

MEASURING YOUR COFFEE GROUNDS
For best results, use the measurements on the Ninja Smart Scoop™ or in the chart to determine how much ground coffee to use for each brew size. Always use level scoops when measuring ground coffee. 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, you will use the same amount of coffee grounds as if you were to select Cup and Over Ice.

NOTE: Adjust to your preferred taste. More scoops result in stronger coffee but slightly lower volumes, fewer scoops result in weaker coffee and slightly higher volumes. Use fewer scoops of decaffeinated coffee to prevent overflow. Use a medium-sized grind if grinding whole beans. Grinding beans too finely may cause the brew basket to overflow.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AFTER A BREW
Dishwasher Safe Parts:
Brew basket, glass carafe and brew-through lid, water reservoir and lid, frother whisk, Ninja smart scoop, capsule bin, adjustable cup tray, cup tray base, and permanent filter (not included, sold separately) are dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE FROTHER
Clean the frother whisk after each use. Hand-wash thoroughly or place on top rack of dishwasher.

CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR
NOTE: For best results, we recommend rinsing the reservoir after brewing and refilling with fresh water prior to the next brew.

Empty the reservoir and hand-wash or place in dishwasher. For a better clean, we recommend placing it in the bottom rack of the dishwasher standing upright with the opening facing downward. We recommend doing this weekly.

CLEANING THE CARAFE
We recommend cleaning your carafe after each use with warm, soapy water.
To clean the carafe more thoroughly, we recommend using a soft foam brush.
DO NOT use a wire brush.

CLEANING THE CAPSULE BIN
Remove the cup tray, cup tray base, and capsule bin from under the capsule outlet. Discard the used capsules from the capsule bin. Hand-wash the cup tray, cup tray base, and capsule bin or place on top rack of dishwasher.

CLEANING THE BREW BASKET
If brewing grounds, allow the brewer to cool, then remove the brew basket by pinching the handle and lifting it straight up. If using a paper filter, discard the filter by dumping the brew basket upside down into a waste bin.

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING SYSTEM
Your Ninja Espresso & Coffee Barista System offers two sides to choose from Grounds and Capsules. Either side that you use will eventually need to be cleaned with a clean cycle. The clean cycle is used for descaling the brewer when calcium scale buildup is affecting the performance of the brewer and/or the flavor of your coffee.
When cleaning is needed in Grounds mode, the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will automatically illuminate orange under the Grounds Button. If the indicator is ignored, your brewer may stop mid-brew and display “CLn,” indicating it needs immediate cleaning.

Descaling Grounds Side:

1. Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.

2. Use a descaling solution specifically formulated for coffeemaker cleaning and follow the directions on the package. Fill the water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
   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 Full line.

5. The clock will count down the remaining clean cycle time, which takes approximately 75 minutes to complete. The brewer will deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute it through the system. It will then pause, deliver additional cleaning solution, and repeat this process for 75 minutes. The extended pauses allow for maximum cleaning and descaling.

6. Upon completion, the brewer will beep, the clock will display End, and the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will turn off.
   IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the carafe at any time during the clean cycle.

7. Empty the contents of the carafe and place it under the brew basket. Clean the water reservoir with warm, soapy water to remove any cleaning solution that could affect the flavor of your coffee.

8. Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not exceeding the Full line.

9. Flush the system by running a water-only Full Carafe Classic brew cycle. After the cycle is complete, discard the water and thoroughly clean the carafe and brew basket.

Descaling Capsules Side:
If typical capsules you brew are taking significantly longer time to brew, run a capsule clean cycle. If the clock is displaying “Add Wtr”, ensure the water tank is filled and fully seated, then try again. If “Add Wtr” persists, try running a water-only brew with the lever closed. If “Add Wtr” still persists, run a capsule clean cycle.

1. Ensure the lever is closed and no capsule is inserted.

2. Remove the Adjustable Cup Tray.

3.  Place the Capsule Clean Cycle Platform on the front right base of the brewer.Remove the brew-through lid from the carafe.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Can’t select Keep Warm.

• Keep Warm can be turned on manually by pressing WARM while in Grounds mode with Classic or Rich, and any Carafe size If brewing a smaller size into the carafe, after the brew has finished select Classic or Rich and turn the dial to any carafe size, then press WARM.

There’s sediment in my coffee.

• If using a permanent filter, this may be due to using finely ground
• To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coffee, use a slightly coarser grind or use a paper NOTE: DO NOT use a paper filter in conjunction with a permanent filter, as water and/or coffee can back up and clog the filter basket.

Over Ice Brew is not cold.

• Ensure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is filled all the way to the top with ice cubes before Brewer will brew at elevated temperatures to lock in the best flavor, then the ice will cool the brewed coffee to the perfect temperature. Lower volumes of coffee will be brewed to account for some ice melt.

Coffee is too weak.

• For stronger coffee, use the Rich brew For an even bolder flavor, you can add more coffee grounds to the filter.

Brew cycle is too slow.

• The brew time will vary based on size and brew Full carafe sizes and Rich brews will take longer to brew than single-serve and classic brews. The progress bar on the control panel will indicate brew status.

Cup or travel mug overflowed.

• Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart on page

The Brew basket overflowed.

• The bottom of the brew basket may be clogged. This can happen with finely ground coffee or too many coffee grounds in the Medium-grind coffee is recommended.
• Using both the permanent filter and a paper filter can cause grounds to clog and water to back up in the brew basket. Use only the permanent filter or a paper filter.
• Decaf coffee grounds absorb water differently, so use fewer scoops when using

There is water left in the reservoir.

• When the reservoir is filled to a specific size and then that size is brewed, there will be some water left in the This is normal to ensure the reservoir does not run dry for the best performance of the pump and brew system.

Brewer is leaking.

• After removing the water reservoir, there may be a small amount of water in the reservoir This can be easily removed with a dry cloth.
• If the leak is coming from above the brew basket, refer to “Brew basket ” above.
• If the leaking is coming from below the brew basket, close the drip Refer to page 12 for more information.
• If the leaking is coming from the capsule side, ensure the adjustable cup tray is in place to catch any excess drips.
• If the leak is coming from the bottom of the brewer, call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288.

The intelligent   Clean Cycle Indicator is illuminating orange.

• Run a clean If you have recently completed a clean cycle, you may need to run another cycle to remove additional mineral buildup that occurs naturally over time and is common in hard-water areas. Make sure you are using vinegar or a descaling solution and follow the cleaning instructions on pages 13 and 14.

Coffee is not hot enough.

• If brewing into the carafe, ensure Keep Warm is The Intelligent Warming Plate temperature can be adjusted between Low, Medium, and High (see Time & Temperature Adjustment on Page 11.)
