CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

DISHWASHER-SAFE PARTS:

Brew Basket, Permanent Filter, Ninja Pod Adapter,

Water Reservoir, Frother Whisk, Nozzle, and Ninja

Smart Scoop.

CLEANING THE FROTHER

Clean the Frother Whisk after each use. Hand-

wash thoroughly or wash in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR

Empty the Water 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.

CLEANING THE ADAPTER STORAGE BIN

Remove the Adapter Storage Bin from the unit and

the adapter inside. Hand-wash thoroughly with

warm soapy water.

CLEANING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER

If brewing pods, ﬁrst remove the used pods from

the Ninja Pod Adapter. Then pinch the right tab of

the handle and lift straight up to remove from the

brew basket. Hand-wash the Ninja Pod Adapter

and brew basket with warm soapy water. To

ensure that the needle in the Ninja Pod Adapter

is free from any residual buildup, we recommend

using a ﬂat wire or plastic clip, such as a paper

clip, to clean it out.

CLEANING AFTER BREW

CLEANING THE NOZZLE

Remove the nozzle by

pinching the sides and

pulling out of the coee

maker. Hand-wash

thoroughly or wash in

the dishwasher. We

recommend checking

and cleaning the

nozzle periodically to

ensure there is no built-

up residue from brewed

coee which may cause

overﬂow in the nozzle.

When reinstalling the

nozzle, ensure that the

nozzle is securely in place

on the coee maker.

CLEANING THE PERMANENT FILTER

If brewing grounds, allow the coee maker to cool.

First remove the Permanent Filter by pinching

both tabs of the Permanent Filter and brew

basket handle and lift up to prevent dripping,

then open the Permanent Filter lid back until it is

ﬁxed in place to discard the used grounds. The

showerhead on the Permanent Filter can also

be removed by turning it counterclockwise and

pulling it o the lid. To reinstall the showerhead

back on the Permanent Filter lid, line up the

notches on the Permanent Filter lid with the

cutouts on the showerhead and turn clockwise.

Hand-wash the Permanent Filter, showerhead, and

brew basket with warm soapy water.

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING SYSTEM

The Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will

automatically illuminate orange when a

cleaning cycle is recommended for the coee

maker. The coee maker will eventually need

to be cleaned with a clean cycle. The clean

cycle is used for descaling the coee maker

when calcium scale buildup is aecting the

performance of the coee maker and/or the

ﬂavor of your coee.

NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately

75 minutes.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

You will need a large vessel that holds at least

56 oz. of water. We recommend using a 2 qt. or

larger mixing bowl or saucepan. If you are unsure

if you have a large enough vessel, ﬁll the water

reservoir to the MAX line and pour it into the

desired vessel to ensure capacity.

TO CLEAN AND DESCALE YOUR NINJA

SINGLE-SERVE COFFEE MAKER:

1 Insert either the Permanent Filter or Ninja Pod

Adapter in the brew basket and close the lid.

Ensure there are no grounds or pods inside the

coee maker.

2 Remove the Adjustable Cup Tray by lifting up

and out.

3 Place vessel beneath the nozzle.

NOTE: Ensure vessel can hold at least 56 oz.

(MAX line) of water.

4 Fill the water reservoir with 16 oz. of white

vinegar, then ﬁll the rest of the reservoir with

water up to, but not exceeding, the MAX line.

5 Once the water reservoir is ﬁlled with white

vinegar and water mixture, press the CLEAN

button.

6 Press the BREW button to begin the cleaning

cycle. The clean cycle will take approximately

75 minutes. The coee maker will deliver a

small amount of cleaning solution to distribute

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: Only use white vinegar OR descale

solution to product spec.

IMPORTANT: If you cancel the clean cycle

while it is running your coee maker will not be

properly descaled.

NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, press the

Power button or CLEAN button once. The

coee maker will beep and stop brewing

through the cleaning mixture. Continue to

follow the instructions starting at Step 4.

7 Upon completion, the coee maker will beep

and the Clean Cycle Indicator will turn o.

8 Empty the vessel and clean the water reservoir

with warm, soapy water to remove any cleaning

solution that could aect the ﬂavor of your

coee.

9 Place the vessel back beneath the nozzle and ﬁll

the water reservoir with fresh water to the

24 oz. line.

10 Flush the system by running a water only

24 oz. Classic brew.

INTEGRATED FROTHER (NOT INCLUDED ON ALL MODELS)

INTEGRATED FROTHER

The Integrated Frother does not heat milk.

1 Add milk to your cup until it is about

/3 full.

• For cold froth, continue to Step 2.

• For hot froth, microwave for 45–60 seconds.

WARNING: To avoid contact with steam and hot

surfaces, DO NOT reach across top of coee

maker to froth.

FOR HOT FROTH

2 Swing the arm of the frother toward the front

of the coee maker. Install the frother whisk by

twisting it to the right.

3 Hold the cup under the frother and submerge

the whisk just below the surface of the milk.

Press and hold the button on top of the frother

and froth for 30–45 seconds.
