CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AFTER A BREW
1 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.
2 Clean the frother whisk after each use.
Hand-wash thoroughly or place on top
rack of dishwasher.
3 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 Scoop™ 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 & 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:
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.
Only use white vinegar.
IMPORTANT:
NOTE: Running a water-only clean cycle
will not descale the brewer properly.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Upon completion, the brewer will beep, the
clock will display End, and the Intelligent
Clean Cycle Indicator will turn off.
6 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.
7 Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but
not exceeding, the Full line.
8 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.
