PREPARING FOR USE

SETTING THE CLOCK

When the brewer is first plugged in, HR/MIN will illuminate to indicate that the time has not been set.
Press the HR/MIN button to set the clock.
Use the Multi-Serve Dial to select the correct hour. Then, press the START BREW button to toggle to minutes.
Use the dial again to select the correct minute, and press the START BREW button to set the clock at the displayed time.

NOTE: At any time, you can set the clock by turning on the brewer, pressing the HR/MIN button, and following steps 34.
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.

Fill the water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
Insert the brew basket and slide the sliding lid closed, then place an empty carafe on the base.
Press and hold both BREW STYLE and HR/MIN until you hear a confirmation sound.
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 brewer is unplugged. Brewer can be recalibrated at any time if the altitude where it is being used changes.

PRIMING YOUR NINJA® DUALBREW PRO COFFEE SYSTEM

Clean all accessories before your first brew.
Plug the brewer in and turn it on by pressing the power button.
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.
Remove the Ninja Pod Adapter by pushing the handle away from you so that the position indicator is in the REMOVE position. Then, using the handles on the left and right, lift the adapter out of the brewer.
After the adapter is removed, slide the sliding lid all the way forward over the brew basket until it is completely closed and clicks into place.
NOTE: DO NOT place ground coffee directly in the brew basket without a filter.
Center the carafe with the brew-through lid installed below the brew basket. With everything securely in place and the brewer powered on, turn the dial to select the Full Carafe size and press the BREW STYLE button to select Classic.
To start, press the START BREW button. When the cycle is complete, discard the water and rinse the carafe. You are now ready to use your Ninja Dual Brew Pro Coffee System.

CONFIGURING THE WATER RESERVOIR
The water reservoir can be positioned to the right or along the back of the brewer to optimize counter space.
To configure the water reservoir:

Remove the reservoir from the base.
Remove the water reservoir latch.
Swing the reservoir base around the brewer until it clicks into place.
You may feel some resistance.
NOTE: Make sure the power cord is not in the way of the reservoir base.
Rotate the water reservoir latch 180 degrees and re-insert it in the new gap where the base was previously positioned.
Place the water reservoir back on the base.

BREW VOLUMES AND MEASUREMENTS
Each size and brew style produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength and flavor.
NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed; this will cause slight variability in brew volumes.
NOTE: Brew volumes may be slightly larger or smaller than what is stated due to various factors in the system.

APPROXIMATE BREW VOLUMES

12 oz.| 12 oz.| 11 oz.| 12 oz.

NOTE: You do not need to adjust the size for Specialty Brew—it always yields approximately 4 oz.

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.

COFFEE MEASUREMENT

BREWING GROUND COFFEE

USING THE BREW BASKET AND SLIDING LID

To prepare for brewing, open the sliding lid by sliding it back under the hood and ensure the brew basket is installed.
Place a #4 paper cone filter or permanent filter (not included on all models, sold separately) in the brew basket.
NOTE: Fold the paper filter along the seams, open the top fully, and firmly press it into the brew basket, making sure it is fully seated.
Use the Ninja Smart Scoop™ and follow the measurements on the scoop or on the Coffee Measurement Chart to fill the filter.
Return the sliding lid to its closed position by sliding it forwards over the brew basket until it clicks into place.

BREWING PODS

USING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER

To prepare for brewing, open the sliding lid by sliding it back under the hood, and ensure the brew basket is installed.
NOTE: The Ninja Pod Adapter comes already installed in the brewer.
Ensure the adapter is in the REMOVE position before installing. Then place the adapter over the brew basket and push down firmly so it is fully seated.
NOTE: Make sure the brew basket is clean and free of any filters before inserting the Ninja® Pod Adapter.
Slide the Ninja Pod Adapter handle into the LOCK position.
Lift the Ninja Pod Adapter handle to reveal the pod holder. Place a new pod in the holder.
Press the handle down firmly to pierce the pod, and ensure that it is completely closed. There will be an audible click and some resistance when closing the handle as the needles puncture the pod.

NOTE: DO NOT remove the top of the K-Cup Pod.

HIGH-ALTITUDE BREWING: Before closing the Ninja Pod Adapter handle to start a brew, Using your fingers, carefully apply pressure on the K-Cup Pod until the bottom of the K-Cup Pod is punctured by the exit needle, and the pod is fully seated in the pod holder. This releases excessive gas built up from the high altitude and prevents pod blowout.

NOTE: Reusable K-Cup Coffee Filters are not compatible with the Ninja Pod Adapter. If using ground coffee, use the grounds mode with a paper or permanent filter (sold separately) to brew a single-serve size.

BREW STYLES

CLASSIC BREW & RICH BREW

Use the Multi-Serve dial to select the brew size. Place the empty vessel under the brew basket.
NOTE: If making a single cup, lower the Single-Serve Cup Platform and set your vessel in the center of it to help prevent splashing. This applies to all brew styles.
Press the BREW STYLE button to choose either Classic Brew or Rich Brew.
Press the START BREW button on the dial to start the brew. To cancel the brew at any time, press the START BREW button on the dial again or press the Power button.
NOTE: The brewing cycle will begin, then pause for a short period before resuming. This process is used to evenly saturate the coffee grounds. This applies to all brew styles.
The brewer will beep to signal the brew has started. The progress bar around the dial will illuminate to indicate the status of the brew. When the brew is finished, the machine will beep again and End will appear on the display.
NOTE: Rich Brew will use slightly less water and yield slightly less brewed coffee than Classic Brew. See Approximate Brew Volume chart for additional information.

NOTE: Specialty brew always yields approximately 4 oz. of coffee.

INTELLIGENT WARMING PLATE
The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on during Classic or Rich brews when a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full carafe size is selected. The Intelligent Warming Plate is set to a specific temperature setpoint to avoid burning the coffee over time. To turn the warming plate on at any time, switch to Grounds or Hot Water mode, turn the dial to one of the carafe sizes, select Classic or Rich, and press the KEEP WARM button.

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.

TIME ADJUSTMENT
You can adjust how long the Intelligent Warming Plate remains on (up to 4 hours). By default, the Intelligent Warming late is set to remain on for 2 hours. To change the time setting of your warming plate, follow these instructions:

Press and hold KEEP WARM until the clock begins to flash the current warming time.
Turn the dial to increase the time in 15 minute increments up to 4 hours or decrease the time to 0 hours. Press START BREW on the dial to set the new time.

NOTE: The time adjustment setting will be saved and will not reset when the brewer is unplugged or loses power.
NOTE: Thermal carafe (CFP305) does not include a warming plate because of the thermal carafe’s vacuum insulation.

SETTING THE DELAY BREW

Plug the brewer in and turn it on by pressing the Power button.
NOTE: The clock will remain on even if the brewer is turned off. Ensure the brewer is powered on to set Delay Brew.
After filling the water reservoir and adding ground coffee to the filter or inserting a pod in the Ninja Pod Adapter, close the sliding lid or adapter handle, and place the appropriate-size vessel under the brew basket.

NOTE: The brewer must remain on for the Delay Brew function to work. DO NOT power off or unplug after setting Delay Brew. If the brewer is turned off or unplugged, delay brew will need to be reset.

USING THE 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 lever to your desired position. It can be closed and reopened at any point before, during, or after a brew.
If you forget to open the Drip Stop, the brewer will pause the brew, and after 30 seconds it will give you a friendly audible reminder. After 5 minutes, the brew will be canceled.
NOTE: If the Drip Stop is closed before you begin a brew, the brewer will notify you with 3 beeps and the Drip Stop indicator will illuminate. Move the Drip Stop to the open position and press the START BREW button to begin your brew.

CLOSING THE DRIP STOP AFTER A BREW
When the brew cycle is complete, set the Drip Stop to the closed position to stop dripping from the brew basket and Ninja Pod Adapter. While the Drip Stop is closed, the Drip Stop indicator will illuminate.
NOTE: Remember to open the Drip Stop when you are ready to brew again. If you forget, your brewer will give you a friendly audible reminder.

WARNING: To avoid contact with steam and hot surfaces. DO NOT reach across top of brewer to froth.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AFTER A BREW

After the brewer has cooled, remove the brew basket. If using pods, remove the Ninja Pod Adapter and brew basket. Wash the used parts thoroughly with soap and warm water.
Clean the frother whisk after each use. Hand-wash thoroughly or place on top rack of dishwasher.
Wash the carafe and brew-through lid with soap and warm water. Use a bottle brush or cloth to wash the inside of the carafe. DO NOT use a wire brush.
NOTE: For best results, we recommend rinsing the reservoir after brewing and refilling with fresh water for the next brew.
NOTE: The glass carafe, brew-through lid, permanent filter, brew basket, water reservoir, water reservoir lid, frother whisk, and Ninja Smart ScoopTM are all dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR
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 SLIDING LID
Open the hinged hood on top of the brewer by pulling up on the left side. Once opened, slide the sliding lid out of the back of the brewer to remove it. Hand-wash the sliding lid with warm, soapy water. Slide the sliding lid back into its tracks and close the hinged hood.
NOTE: DO NOT place the sliding lid in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER
Open the handle to reveal the needles and pod holder and hand-wash with warm, soapy water. Take care when cleaning around the needles. Then, close the handle and slide it back into the REMOVE position before reinstalling.
NOTE: DO NOT place the Ninja Pod Adapter in the dishwasher.

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

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING SYSTEM
Your Ninja DualBrew coffee maker offers multiple modes to choose from, which include Grounds, Pods, and Hot Water (not available on all models). Each mode 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. The Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will automatically illuminate orange when a cleaning cycle is recommended for your brewer. If the indicator is ignored, your brewer may stop mid-brew and display “CLn,” indicating it needs immediate cleaning on the current mode.
NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 75 minutes.

CHOOSING WHICH MODE TO CLEAN
When the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator turns on for the first time, run a clean cycle on the mode you use most. For example, if you primarily brew with grounds, run the clean cycle on the Grounds mode with the Sliding Lid closed. If you primarily use pods, ensure the Ninja® Pod Adapter is installed, and run the clean cycle through the Ninja Pod Adapter. If Hot Water mode is used at all, run an additional clean cycle in Hot Water mode.
The next time the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator illuminates orange, run a clean cycle on the remaining way to brew coffee. For example, if you ran a clean cycle on the Grounds mode first, run a clean cycle on the Pods mode next.
NOTE: If the display ever reads “CLn,” it indicates heavy scale buildup on that mode. Run a clean cycle on the current mode.
To clean and descale your Ninja DualBrew Pro Coffee System:

Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.
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.
IMPORTANT: Only use white vinegar.
NOTE: Running a water-only clean cycle will not descale the brewer properly.
Once the water reservoir is filled with your cleaning solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button then press the START BREW button to confirm and begin the cleaning cycle.
NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, press the Power button or CLEAN button once. The brewer 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 brewer will not be properly descaled.
The clock will display and count down the remaining clean cycle time, which takes approximately 75 minutes to complete. Your 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.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the carafe at any time during the clean cycle.
Upon completion, the brewer will beep, the clock will display End, and the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will turn off.
Empty the contents of the carafe and place it back 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.
Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
Flush the system by running a water-only cycle. If cleaning the Grounds mode, run a Full Carafe Classic brew cycle. If cleaning the Pods mode, run a 12 oz. Classic brew. If cleaning the Hot Water mode, run a Full Carafe on BOIL. Rerun a water-only cycle if taste persists. After the cycle is complete, discard the water and thoroughly clean the carafe and brew basket.
NOTE: Hard water will cause scale buildup faster than soft water and the brewer will indicate it needs cleaning more often.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

There’s sediment in my coffee.

If using a permanent filter, this 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: 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 brewing. Brewer will brew at elevated temperatures to lock in the best flavor, then the ice will cool the brewed coffee to the perfect temperature.

Coffee is too weak.

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

Coffee is too strong.

For milder coffee, use the Classic brew setting. For an even milder flavor, use fewer coffee grounds in the filter.

Brew cycle is too slow.

The brew time will vary based on size and brew style. 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 10.

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 filter. 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 decaf.

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 reservoir. 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 valve. This can be easily removed with a dry cloth.
