Safety Signal Words

This Owner’s Guide and the safety labels

attached to this appliance use signal words that

indicate safety hazards with differing levels of

severity.

Below are the words used and their deﬁnitions:

• WARNING indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

• CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in minor or

moderate injury.

• NOTICE is used to address practices not

related to physical injury.

The words “WARNING” and “CAUTION” are

preceded by a triangle, signifying that these are

safety-related.

The terms “IMPORTANT” and “NOTE” are also

used to describe good ideas for better and more

efﬁcient equipment use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

For Household Use Only

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, serious injury,

death or damage when using this appliance, follow

these basic safety precautions.

General Precautions

1 DO NOT allow young children to operate the

appliance or use as a toy. Close supervision

is necessary when any appliance is used near

children.

2 To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance

has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). As a safety feature, this plug will ﬁt into a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not

ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. DO

NOT force into outlet or try to modify to ﬁt.

3 To protect against electrical shock, DO NOT

submerge the appliance or allow the power cord

to come into contact with water or any other

liquid.

4 Allow the appliance to cool before removing any

parts and before cleaning.

5 NEVER carry the appliance by the power cord or

yank it to disconnect from electrical outlet; instead

grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

6 DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged

cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions,

or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

7 DO NOT let the power cord hang over the edges

of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces such

as the stove.

8 DO NOT remove the brew basket or carafe while

the appliance is brewing. Scalding may occur

if any of these parts are removed during

brewing cycles.

9 The use of an accessory not recommended by the

manufacturer may create an overﬂow condition

and scalding hazard, or result in ﬁre, electric

shock, or personal injury.

ninjakitchen.com

10 DO NOT operate your appliance in an appliance

garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an

appliance garage always unplug the unit from the

electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk

of ﬁre, especially if the appliance touches the walls

of the garage or the door touches the unit as it

closes.

Operating Notice

11 DO NOT use well water; use tap water.

12 Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee

in the ﬁlter basket can occur under any of the

following conditions: The use of coffee that is too

ﬁnely ground; using two or more paper ﬁlters;

using a permanent ﬁlter in conjunction with a

paper ﬁlter; not cleaning coffee grounds from a

permanent ﬁlter; or allowing coffee grounds to spill

over the ﬁlter.

13 ALWAYS use appliance on a dry, level surface.

14 DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric

burner, or in a heated oven.

15 DO NOT use this appliance for anything other than

its intended use. DO NOT use outdoors.

16 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles

orknobs.

17 DO NOT touch warming plate while the brewer is

in use.

18 DO NOT reach across top of brewer to froth

during brewing. Steam is released from vent on

top of brewer and can result in a steam burn.

19 DO NOT run the appliance without water.

20 ALWAYS place a vessel beneath the brew basket

to receive the brewed coffee.

21 DO NOT overﬁll the water reservoir. Fill water only

to the Max Fill line.

Glass Carafe

22 The carafe is designed for use with this appliance

only. It must never be used on a stovetop.

23 DO NOT set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface.

24 DO NOT use a cracked or scratched carafe or a

carafe that has a loose or weakened handle.

25 DO NOT clean carafe with abrasive cleansers,

steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.

26 DO NOT place carafe in microwave.

27 DO NOT expose carafe to extreme temperature

changes.

28 DO NOT place carafe on or near a hot gas or

electrical burner, or in a heated oven.

29 DO NOT use carafe for carbonated beverages.

30 DO NOT drink directly from the carafe. Liquid from

the carafe may be very hot.

31 DO NOT use the carafe to store food when not in

use.

32 Ensure the carafe is completely empty before

starting a cleaning or brewing cycle. Starting a

cycle with water or coffee in the carafe will cause

an overﬂow.

Maintenance

33 Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet

and allow unit to cool before removing brew

basket, water reservoir, or ﬁlters before surface

cleaning.

34 To prevent illness from bacterial growth in the

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.

The double-

walled Ninja cup

is designed to

retain initial coffee

temp better than

a ceramic cup.

Unlike a ceramic

mug, a thinner

paper cup

does not steal

substantial heat

from the coffee.

WOULD YOU LIKE A HOTTER COFFEE?

The type of cup you brew into can drastically inﬂuence the drinking temperature of your coffee.

HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?

CAUTION: Please ensure that 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 to prevent

overﬂow and a scalding injury.

Each size and brew type produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength and taste.

NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in slightly less brewed coffee than water used.

FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE

For best results, use the measurement chart in the next

column 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.

CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground

coffee is 12 rounded tablespoons or 6 Ninja

®

Big Scoops. Exceeding this amount or using ﬁne

ground coffee may cause overﬂow.

1 Open the brew basket by sliding it out of the brewer.

(Fig. 13)

NOTE: Check for any loose grounds that may be left in

the brew basket. Remove and rinse the removable ﬁlter

holder if needed.

2 Place the permanent ﬁlter or a #4 paper cone ﬁlter

in the removable ﬁlter holder. If using a paper ﬁlter,

ﬁrst ensure the permanent ﬁlter is removed from the

removable ﬁlter holder. Then fold the paper ﬁlter along

the seams, open it fully, and ﬁrmly press it into the

brew basket, making sure it is ﬁrmly seated. (Fig. 14)

3 Use the Ninja Scoop and follow the measurements

in the chart to ﬁll the ﬁlter. These measurements are

based on level scoops—adjust to your preferred taste.

(Fig. 15) We suggest using a medium-sized grind if

grinding whole beans.

Serving Size Ninja Scoop Tablespoons

Cup / XL Cup 2–3 small scoops 2–3 Tbsp.

Travel Mug /

XL Multi-Serve

3–5 small scoops 3–5 Tbsp.

Specialty (4 oz. Brew) 2 big scoops 4 Tbsp.

Cafe Forte (8 oz. Brew)

2 big scoops 4 Tbsp.

NOTE: Exceeding the recommended medium grind

size for whole beans may cause the brew basket to

overﬂow.

4 Slide the brew basket back into the brewer until it clicks

into place.

CAUTION: HOT WATER. Do not remove the brew basket or vessel while brewing.

CAUTION: STEAM. Do not touch steam vents or the top of the brewer while brewing.

CAUTION: The brew basket is hot after brewing. Always allow the brewer to cool down before cleaning.

DRIP STOP

NOTE: If the Drip Stop is closed before you begin a

brew, the brewer will notify you with 5 beeps and

the Drip Stop indicator will illuminate. Set the Drip

Stop to the open position and select your brew

concentration level.

CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST CUP TO BE READY?

When brewing a carafe, close the Drip Stop to pause the

brew cycle and pour a cup. Promptly replace the carafe and

open the Drip Stop to complete the brew. (Fig. 16)

NOTE: If you forget to open the Drip Stop, the Ninja Coffee

Bar System will pause the brew, and after 20 seconds it will

give you a friendly audible reminder. After 6 minutes, the

brew will be canceled.

CAN’T WAIT FOR THE LAST FEW DROPS?

When the brew cycle is complete, set the Drip Stop to the

closed position to stop dripping from the brew basket.

NOTE: 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 Ninja Coffee Bar System

will give you a friendly audible reminder.

INTELLIGENT WARMING PLATE

The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on

after a Full or Half Carafe size of Classic or Rich Brew. The

Intelligent Warming Plate will adjust the heat it produces to

avoid burning the coffee over time.

CAUTION: The HOT SURFACE light will illuminate

when the warming plate is hot. Do not touch the

surface when this light is illuminated.

STAY WARM BUTTON

Press the Stay Warm button after the brew to turn the

Intelligent Warming Plate off. You can turn the Intelligent

NOTE: Rich Brew will use slightly less water and yield

slightly less brewed coffee than Classic Brew.

BREWING COFFEE

NOTE: Each brew has a pre-infusion cycle with

varying times. The brew will begin, stop, and be

quiet for a short period of time before it begins

again. This process is used to evenly saturate the

coffee grounds.

NOTE: For hotter coffee, rinse the coffee cup, mug, or glass

carafe with hot water prior to brewing.

CAUTION: Ensure the coffee cup, mug, or glass

carafe is completely empty before starting a brewing

cycle. Starting a brewing cycle with coffee in the

vessel could cause an overﬂow.

CUSTOM BREWS:

CLASSIC & RICH

Classic Brew - For a smooth, balanced ﬂavor.

Rich Brew - For a coffee that is richer than Classic

Brew and still smooth, with more room for milk and

cream.

1 After ﬁlling the water reservoir and adding ground

coffee to the ﬁlter, be sure the Drip Stop is open and

the reservoir, basket, and ﬁlter are securely in place.

2 Use the Multi-Serve dial to select the size of coffee you

would like to brew. Place the empty vessel you would

like to brew into underneath the brew basket.

OVER ICE BREW - Designed to brew hot coffee over ice

to lock in the ﬂavor for a rich, freshly brewed, smooth

iced coffee that’s not watered down. Be sure your vessel

is ﬁlled with ice before brewing.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE GLASSWARE. However, the

provided glass carafe is safe to use due to the

specialized glass material.

1 After ﬁlling the water reservoir, add ground coffee to the

ﬁlter. Be sure the Drip Stop is open and the reservoir,

brew basket and ﬁlter are in place.

3 Before brewing, ﬁll the desired vessel to the top with ice

cubes and place the vessel below the brew basket. Press

the Over Ice Brew button and the brew will begin. (Fig. 20)

Press the Over Ice Brew button again to cancel the brew.

IMPORTANT: Always ﬁll the desired vessel to the

top with ice before placing it below the brew

basket. Do not add ice to the water reservoir.

NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for

a short period of time before it begins again. This

pre-infusion process is used to evenly saturate

the coffee grounds.

NOTE: If making a carafe of Over Ice Brew, ﬁll the

carafe with ice and brew without the brew-through lid.

4 The Ninja

Coffee Bar System will beep to signal a

completed brew. Stir to cool coffee completely.

CAUTION: Make sure to use the proper cup size to

prevent coffee from overﬂowing the cup.

SIGNATURE BREWS:

After ﬁlling the water reservoir and adding ground

coffee to the ﬁlter, be sure the Drip Stop is open and

the reservoir, brew basket and ﬁlter are securely in

place.

Note: If brewing an iced blended drink, ﬁll the desired

vessel with the amount of ice recommended in the

recipe before brewing.

2 Place the vessel that you would like to brew into

underneath the brew basket. Press the Specialty Brew

button or Cafe Forte button and the brew will begin.

(Fig. 21, Fig. 22) Press the Specialty Brew button or

FROTHING YOUR MILK

1 Pour milk into cup, until it is about one-third full. (Use

more or less milk depending on your preference.)

Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds for hot milk.

2 Move the frother into the ready position by swinging the

arm toward the front.

3 Hold the cup under the frother and submerge the whisk

just below the surface of the milk. This allows air to fold

into the milk, for the frothiest results. (Fig. 23)

4 Press and hold the frothing button for 30 to 45

seconds. (Fig. 24)

5 You can easily remove the frother whisk by twisting

it clockwise. To avoid spills, keep your cup below

the whisk and carry it to your sink or dishwasher for

cleaning. (Fig. 25)

CAUTION: DO NOT reach across the top of the brewer to froth during brewing. Steam is released from vent on

top of brewer and can result in a steam burn.

Care & Maintenance

CLEANING AFTER A BREW

CAUTION: Make sure the brewer is unplugged

from the power source before cleaning.

CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool

before cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Discontinue use if the glass carafe

is scratched or handle is loose or damaged.

NOTE: Do not leave coffee in the glass carafe for

an extended period of time after a brew.

NOTE: Do not leave water in or underneath the

water reservoir unused for multiple days. Rinse

and replace with freshwater.

1 Before cleaning, close the Drip Stop.

2 After each brew is complete and the coffee grounds

have cooled, carefully remove the paper ﬁlter and

discard. Remove the removable ﬁlter holder from the

brewer and wash with soap and warm water.

3 After each froth, thoroughly rinse the frother whisk or

place it on top-rack of dishwasher.

NOTE: The removable ﬁlter holder and the ﬂip-

top reservoir lid are not dishwasher safe.

NOTE: If coffee grounds spilled over into the brew

basket or into the overﬂow channels, remove and rinse

under water until grounds are gone.

4 Wash the carafe and brew-through lid with soap and

warm water. Use a bottle brush or a cloth to wash the

inside of the carafe.

NOTE: The brew-through lid, permanent ﬁlter, glass

carafe, and water reservoir are top-rack dishwasher

safe.

5 Wipe machine down with a warm cloth and soap and

water. Clean the shower head, water reservoir shelf,

water reservoir, ﬂip-top water reservoir lid, permanent

ﬁlter, and removable ﬁlter holder with soap and water.

Do not immerse the base in water.

CLEANING YOUR CARAFE

We recommend cleaning your carafe with

warm, soapy water, or placing in the top-

rack of your dishwasher.

If you want to clean the carafe more

thoroughly, we recommend using a soft foam

brush such as the one shown.

IMPORTANT: Clean the glass carafe with a soft brush

or sponge. Do not use a wire brush.

CLEANING YOUR WATER RESERVOIR

1 Empty the water reservoir.

2 Hand wash with dish soap and rinse, or place on the

top-rack of your dishwasher.

3 Clean the water reservoir shelf with a cloth and warm,

soapy water.

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING

SYSTEM

CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool

before wiping down any surface for cleaning.

CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the coffeemaker into

water or any other liquid.

The CLEAN button will illuminate when a cleaning cycle

is recommended for your Ninja Coffee Bar

®

System, as

calcium scale buildup could be affecting the ﬂavor of

your coffee.

To clean and descale your Ninja Coffee Bar System:

NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 60 minutes.

1 Select the Full Carafe size and set 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 Max Fill line (50oz.).

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 Max Fill line

(50oz.).

IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.

3 Once the water reservoir is ﬁlled with your cleaning

solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button.

(Fig. 26)

NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, press the Power

button or CLEAN button once. The unit will beep, and

stop brewing through the cleaning mixture. Discard

any remaining cleaning mixture in the reservoir and the

carafe, and thoroughly clean each. Reﬁll the reservoir

with fresh water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill

line, and set the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.

Run a Full Carafe, Classic Brew with water only to

remove any cleaning solution that could affect the ﬂavor

of your coffee.

IMPORTANT: If you cancel the clean cycle, your

machine will not be properly descaled, and the CLEAN

indicator light will remain on.

4 The clock will display and countdown the remaining

clean cycle time, as this takes approximately 60

minutes to complete. Your Ninja Coffee Bar System will

deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute

it through the system. It will then pause for a half an

hour, deliver additional cleaning solution, and pause

for another half hour. The extended pauses allow for

maximum cleaning and descaling.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove the carafe at any time

throughout the clean cycle.

5 Upon completion, the brewer will beep, 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 solution that could affect the ﬂavor of your

coffee.

7 Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not

exceeding, the Max Fill line (50 oz.) and set the empty

carafe beneath the brew basket.

8 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 to

remove any cleaning solution that could affect the ﬂavor

of your coffee.

NOTE: If the CLEAN light illuminates again, then

calcium buildup is still present. Repeat the steps above

and the CLEAN light will automatically shut off when

your brewer is clean.

Please call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288 to

purchase descaling solution or if the brewer needs any

servicing.

Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

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.

Grounds in my coffee.

A ﬁlter must be in place when brewing (either the permanent ﬁlter or a paper ﬁlter). It is possible

that the brew basket overﬂowed. Once cooled, clean out the removable ﬁlter holder and reﬁll

using the appropriate amount of coffee. Too many grounds can cause the brew basket to overﬂow.

Alternatively, ﬁne ground coffee can clog the removable ﬁlter holder. For best brewing results, use

a medium-ground coffee.

The brew basket drips

even after the brew

cycle is completed.

Once the brew cycle is complete, move the drip stop to the closed position, denoted by a water

droplet with a slash through it, before removing your brewing vessel.

Paper ﬁlter is folding

over.

The Ninja Coffee

Bar

®

System

is designed to take a #4 cone ﬁlter. Be sure you are using

this size and shape, as larger sizes may fold over. If not, allow the brew basket to cool

before handling. The paper ﬁlters are thicker on two edges. Fold those edges along their

creases (one along the bottom and one along the side) before inserting into the brew

basket. Alternatively, you can wet the sides of the paper ﬁlter to temporarily adhere it to

the brew basket.

NOTE: When using a paper ﬁlter, do not use the permanent ﬁlter.

If problem persists, try using a permanent ﬁlter.

Coffee is not hot

enough.

Your Ninja Coffee Bar System is equipped with a pre-heating function that ensures your cup of

coffee as hot as it possibly can be. After turning on your Ninja Coffee Bar System, the pre-heat

notiﬁcation will illuminate for 3 minutes as it warms up. Once it has warmed up to the proper

temperature, the pre-heat notiﬁcation will turn off, indicating it is time to brew. To brew the hottest

possible cup with your Ninja Coffee Bar System, keep it plugged in and powered on at all times to

allow the brewing system to remain warm and ready to brew.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use hot water in the water reservoir. We recommend cool, fresh, ﬁltered

water.

Over Ice Brew is not

cold.

The Over Ice Brew is designed to brew hot coffee over ice to lock in the ﬂavor for rich, smooth iced

coffee. Make sure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is ﬁlled all the way to the top with ice cubes.

Weak coffee.

For stronger coffee, try the Rich Brew setting using dark roast beans and the permanent ﬁlter in

your brew basket (rather than a paper ﬁlter). If you want an even bolder ﬂavor, you can add more

coffee grounds to the brew basket — just keep in mind that the additional grounds do absorb

liquid, so you will wind up with a more concentrated, smaller cup of coffee.

Coffee too strong.

For milder coffee, try the Classic Brew setting using light roast beans and a paper ﬁlter in your

brew basket (rather than the permanent ﬁlter). If you want an even milder ﬂavor, you can put less

coffee in the brew basket — just keep in mind that grounds do absorb liquid during the normal

brew cycle, so you will wind up with a less concentrated, larger cup of coffee.

Brew will not start, or

will not complete the

full brew selected.

Ensure the unit is powered on and the display is illuminated. If there are no lights, it means the

machine is not getting power. Try a different outlet and press the Power button. Check to make

sure there is water in the water reservoir.

Make sure the Drip Stop is open, as the machine will beep 5 times and the brew cycle will not start

if the Drip Stop is in the closed position. If the Drip Stop LED is illuminated, and the Drip Stop is in

the open position, it means the brew basket was inserted incorrectly. Reinsert the brew basket by

aligning it with the rails and slide it into the brewer until it clicks in place.

If the above actions have not stopped the beeping, it may be time to run the clean cycle. Please

refer to the Care & Maintenance section.

NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for a short period of time before it begins again. This

process is used to evenly saturate the coffee grounds.
