CLEANING AFTER A BREW

CAUTION: Make sure that 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 the 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 permanent filter and wash. If
using the paper filter, simply discard. Remove brew basket
from the brewer, rinse and wash with soap and warm water.
NOTE: The brew basket is not dishwasher safe.
NOTE: If coffee grounds spilled over into the brew basket or
in the overflow channels, remove and rinse under water until
grounds are removed.
3 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, glass carafe, permanent filter
and water reservoir are top shelf dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT: Clean the glass carafe with a soft brush or
sponge. Do not use a wire brush.
4 Wipe machine down with a warm cloth with soap and water.
Let the warming plate cool before cleaning with a wet cloth
and soap and water. Do not immerse the base in water.
NOTE: For best results, use a bottle brush. This will allow you
to scrub all of the inside with soap and hot water.
CLEANING YOUR CARAFE
We recommend rinsing your carafe
with warm soapy water, or placing in
the top shelf of your dishwasher.
If you want to clean the carafe more
thoroughly, we recommend using a soft
foam brush such as the one shown.

HOW TO CLEAN & DESCALE
CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool
before cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the coffeemaker into
water or any other liquid.
NOTE: Cleaning is recommended before or as soon as
the Clean button illuminates. Cleaning your Ninja Coffee
Bar ™ is recommended to keep your brewer brewing hot,
rich, and smooth coffee.
The Clean button will illuminate when your Ninja
™
Coffee Bar senses there is a calcium build up on
your machine, that could be affecting the flavor of your
coffee. To clean your machine and keep the same great
®
taste of Ninja coffee, follow the directions below.
1 Select the carafe size and set the carafe in place
beneath the brew basket.
2 Fill the water reservoir to the travel mug line
(16 oz.) with white vinegar, then fill the rest of the water
reservoir with water up to, but not exceeding the Max
Fill line (43 oz.).
OR
Use a descaling solution and follow the directions on
the package and fill up to, but not exceeding the Max
Fill line (43 oz.).
IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.
3 Once the water reservoir is filled with your cleaning
solution and water mixture (not exceeding the Max
Fill line), simply press the Clean button to activate the
clean cycle.. (Fig. 22)
NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 8 minutes
to fully descale and clean the machine.
4 Once the clean cycle is complete, empty and rinse the
carafe and water reservoir. Please take special care
to thoroughly clean the carafe and water reservoir to
remove any cleaning solution that could affect the flavor
of your coffee.
5 Once the clean light turns off, fill with fresh water up to,
but not exceeding the carafe line (43 oz. Max Fill line)
and run 2 or 3 clean cycles with fresh water to rinse.
Discard the water in the carafe after each cycle.
NOTE: If the Clean light illuminates on the next brew
after a clean cycle, this means there is still calcium
build up on the brewer. Repeat steps above and the
clean light will automatically shut off when it senses
your Ninja Coffee Bar ™ is clean and free of calcium
build up!
Please call customer service if any servicing needs to
be performed on the brewer at 1-877-646-5288.
