be sure to remove all tape from machine. Tape
will be on all sides of the machine.
CLEAN ACCESSORIES BEFORE USE
• After removing all accessories and parts from
the packaging, thoroughly clean all parts by
handwashing and dry thoroughly.
WATER HARDNESS TEST
All water has minerals that can cause buildup in the
machine over time. These minerals are referred to
as water hardness, and will impact how often you
will need to descale the machine. Doing this test
will ensure the machine recommends a descale at
the right time.
1 Remove test strip from pack.
3 Pull test strip out and lightly shake it.
4 Place test strip on a dry, flat surface and wait 1
minute for test strip to display results.
5 After 1 minute, you will see 0–5 purple squares
appear. This will indicate the water hardness
level of the water (0 purple squares=level 0,
5 purple squares=level 5, etc.)
6 After identifying the water hardness level, plug in
the machine.
7 Look at the left side of the control panel. It will
display hd 5.
8 Rotate the centre dial to program the water
hardness level by matching the number of
purple squares on the test strip to the number

immediately.
FILL THE BEAN HOPPER
• Ensure that the bean hopper is filled with
beans (the hopper will be locked into place
out of box). Remove the lid of the hopper,
fill with beans and ensure the lid is placed
securely back on the hopper. Make sure the
bean hopper is locked into place (the bean
hopper comes locked out of box), and the lid
is placed securely back on top.
FILL THE WATER RESERVOIR
• Before you begin the brew, make sure the
water reservoir is full of room temperature
or cold water. Be sure to fill up to but not
exceeding the maximum fill line.
WATER FILTER INSTALLATION
Great tasting coee starts with great water.
Water filters help to remove chlorine, odours
and other impurities that may be in your water
to give you great tasting coee.
If there's not enough water in the reservoir to
brew your selected drink, your unit will indicate
that you must ADD WATER. If you get an ADD
WATER notification while brewing, add water to
the reservoir and press brew.
• When filling the water reservoir, be sure to
use room temperature or cold water. If you
use hot water, you may get an ADD WATER
notification. For best results, use filtered water.

PORTAFILTER INSTALLATION
1 Place funnel on portafilter, aligning the
notches on the funnel with the notches
on the portafilter. Push down until funnel
locks into place in the portafilter. The funnel
prevents grounds from overflowing during
grinding and allows for a cleaner tamping
process.
NOTE: If you do not see this animation,
remove the portafilter from the grinding
cradle, power the machine o and on, and
reinstall the portafilter in the grinding cradle,
ensuring it is level and pushed all the way in.
2 With the funnel on top of the portafilter,
insert into the grinding cradle. Make sure
it is level and fits securely. Once portafilter
is installed in grinding cradle, it will be
weighed. To ensure accurate weight, let go
of portafilter.
3 The machine will detect which basket is
locked into it. The machine will display an
animation. This is to indicate the machine is
taring the portafilter to ensure it is dispensing
the right amount of grounds. Then the
control panel will illuminate the selectable
brew options based on the basket that is
installed.
4 Turn the centre dial to your desired brew.
2 Choose a basket based on what drink you
would like, then insert into the portafilter.
Ensure that the large tab on the basket aligns
with the large tab on the portafilter, and then

NOTE: Once a grind is complete, the machine
will be set to the brew style and size that was
selected for that grind. To change style and
size, pour grounds out of portafilter, power
the machine o and on, and select your
desired brew.
USING THE GRINDER
1 Once a brew is highlighted, Barista Assist
Technology will recommend a grind size based
on the beans and previous brew output. If
you wish to follow the recommended size, use
the grind dial on the side of the machine to
change the CURRENT grind size to match the
RECOMMENDED grind size.
2 Once you have selected your desired
grind setting and strength, press START
GRIND to begin grinding. The machine will
beep to indicate that grinding has started.
When finished, the machine will beep again
signifying grinding is complete. The control
panel will flash TAMP, signifying that you must
tamp the grounds.
UNDERSTANDING THE GRIND SETTINGS
What do the grind settings mean?
• The numbers on the left side of the control
panel represent how coarse or fine the grind
will be, with 25 being the coarsest and 1 being
the finest. Coarser settings will work better
for filter coee drinks, and finer settings will
work better for espresso drinks.
• Matching the recommended setting: this will
bring the best flavours out of your chosen
beans. The machine will adjust based on
what beans you're using to ensure you are
not over-extracting or under-extracting.
NOTE: When changing from very coarse to
very fine (or vice versa), you may hear the
grinder turn on. This is to help prevent jamming
in the grinder. This will only happen when the
portafilter is installed in the grinding cradle.
DIALLING IN THE GRINDER FOR PROPER
EXTRACTION
For espresso brews only
You may notice the recommended grind setting
change. This is Barista Assist Technology
adjusting the recommended grind setting to
help you get proper espresso extraction. When
using new beans for the first time or adding
more beans, it may take 2–3 brews to reach
the optimal grind setting. Over time, you may
notice the recommended grind setting change
to account for ageing beans. This is normal.
Ensure the current grind size matches the
recommended grind size for proper espresso
extraction.
NOTE: When brewing a quad shot, tamp
the grounds normally with the funnel on the
portafilter. After that, remove the funnel and
tamp down the grounds one more time.
NOTE: If tamping on top of a wooden or
delicate material countertop, put towel down
for protection.
1 When grinding is complete remove the
portafilter from the grinding cradle. Keep the
funnel attached to the portafilter.
2 Place the portafilter on a solid, level surface,
then place the assisted tamper inside the
funnel. Ensure there is protection between
the portafilter and surface. Press tamper all
the way down until it meets the funnel.
TAMPING
Be sure to tamp on all espresso drinks, as
well as L+ and XL filter coee drinks; this is to
ensure no grounds spill over the edge of the
portafilter. For S to L coee drinks, lightly shake
the portafilter to level coee grounds and then
proceed to brewing.
3 Now that tamping is complete, remove both
the tamper and funnel from the portafilter
and store in their respective locations on the
left side of the machine.
NOTE: These are the preset espresso outputs.
To adjust output, please refer to the Additional
Settings section.

It is recommended to clean out the grinder
before switching beans. Please see instructions
on how to clean the grinder in the "Cleaning
the Conical Burr Grinder" page of the Periodic
Maintenance section.
SWITCHING OUT BEANS
1 Unlock bean hopper by rotating handle
anticlockwise.
2 Remove the bean hopper and pour out any
leftover beans.
3 Place the hopper back on the machine.
4 Lock bean hopper back in by rotating handle
clockwise.
5 Place the portafilter with the funnel attached
in the grinding cradle.
6 Press and hold START GRIND button to clear
any leftover beans.
7 Add new beans into the bean hopper.
ADJUSTING YOUR BREW TEMP AND STRENGTH SWITCHING OUT BEANS
TEMPERATURE
There are several methods and practices to help
get your preferred temperature.
STRENGTH
If you find your brew is tasting too weak or too
strong for your liking, you can use the strength
adjustment button.
Adjusting Brew Strength:
To adjust brew strength, press the STRENGTH
button. The strength adjustment will work
dierently depending on if you are brewing
espresso or filter coee.
Espresso Strength Adjustments:
•
Taller, less concentrated: 4:1 water to
grounds ratio
• •
Default: 2.5:1 water to grounds ratio
• • •
Shorter, more concentrated: 2:1 water to
grounds ratio
Coee Strength Adjustments:
•
Mild: Less beans will be ground.
• •
Default
• • •
Bold: More beans will be ground.
Adjusting Brew Temperature:
1 Hold the SIZE button for 3 seconds.
2 Rotate the centre dial to _h06, then press the
centre dial to select.
3 Rotate the centre dial to select your desired
setting, then press the centre dial to select.
LO: Low temperature
M: Medium temperature (default)
HI: High temperature
The temperature of the drink will aect the
extraction of the espresso and the flavour
of your drink. For best results and proper
extraction, we recommend a low or medium
temperature for darker roasts, and a medium or
high temperature for light roasts.
• Choosing the Right Cup:
Ensure the cup you are using is appropriate for
the size of your drink. For a hotter drink, use a
cup that is a similar size to your drink.
The thickness of the material your cup is made
of will also aect the temperature of your drink.
For a hotter drink, use a cup made of thinner
material.
• Pre-Heating Before You Brew:
Running hot water through the group head and
portafilter will help pre-heat them, as well as the
machine for future brews. To further increase
the temperature of your drink, run a water-only
double shot of espresso through the portafilter
into the cup you would like to brew your drink
in. The temperature of your cup will impact the
temperature of your drink. Discard the water,
then dry the cup and portafilter. Then, proceed
to brewing. See Water Flush for instructions.
NOTE: Temperature control not available for
over ice, cold brew, and cold-pressed.
NOTE: Adjusting your espresso brew
strength will aect your brew volume
output. Strength 1 will have a larger output
than the default setting. Use a larger cup
than normal.
COFFEE FLAVOUR ADJUSTMENT
Barista Assist will recommend a grind size
depending on brew style and size. Because not
all beans are roasted the same, with the grind
dial you have the opportunity to adjust the
flavour profile.
Taste is too Bitter: Increase Grind Size
Taste is too Sour: Decrease Grind Size

DESCALING AND CLEAN CYCLE
DESCALING
Time to complete: approximately 90 minutes.
When the DESCALE light illuminates, you must run
a descale cycle. If a descale isn’t performed after
the light turns on, drink quality will diminish and the
machine may clog and stop working.
Descaling breaks down and removes limescale
and mineral buildup inside the machine. Doing this
will help maintain peak performance if routinely
performed with a descale solution whenever the
DESCALE light turns on.
1 Ensure the main drip tray is completely emptied,
as some of the water brewed from the descale
cycle will be deposited into the main drip tray.
Not emptying the main drip tray may cause
overflow.
3 Insert the double basket into the portafilter.
4 Fasten the portafilter into the group head.

portafilter. You may have to remove the centre
drip tray.
7 Press the DESCALE button, then press the
centre dial to start the descale cycle.
8 The machine will start the descale cycle. The
machine will flush solution through the steam
wand and portafilter for approximately 90
minutes. The machine will count down the
remaining time on the control panel.
9 The machine will beep indicating when the
descale cycle is complete.
10 After the cycle is complete, remove the
portafilter, main drip tray, and milk jug with
caution, as there will be water in each.
11 Empty the contents of each and handwash with
warm, soapy water to remove any solution that
could aect the flavour of your coee.
12 Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not
exceeding, the Max Fill line.
13 Install the main drip tray back on the machine
and install the portafilter in the group head. Do
not install the milk jug.

CLASSIC brew.
15 Then, with the milk jug uninstalled, flush the
steam wand by pressing the PURGE button.
2 Dissolve the provided Ninja descale powder
in a separate container with 1.1L of water. Pour
solution mixture into water reservoir.
RUNNING A CLEAN CYCLE
Time to complete: approximately 6 minutes
A clean cycle flushes out residual oils or
grounds that are built up in and around the
group head. The CLEAN light will automatically
illuminate to indicate when a clean cycle is
required. You may also run a clean cycle if you
notice a change in brew quality. The clean cycle
requires the cleaning disc (included with the
machine and storable in the accessory storage)
and a cleaning tablet (also included and available
for purchase on AU: ninjakitchen.com.au or
NZ: ninjakitchen.co.nz.
Follow these steps to run a clean cycle:
1 Ensure the main drip tray is completely
empty as the water brewed from the clean
cycle will be deposited into the main drip tray.
Not emptying the main drip tray may cause
overflow.
2 Fill the water reservoir up to but not
exceeding the Max Fill line.

Why is there no water coming out of the portafilter?
Several factors could aect the volume of water dispensing from the portafilter:
• Not enough water in the reservoir: Ensure the water reservoir is adequately filled. When using the luxe
basket, 533ml of water is required. When using the double or single basket, fill to the min. line.
• The water reservoir is not seated firmly: Check that the water reservoir is firmly seated in its place on
the back of the machine.
• The machine is warming up/reaching the operating temperature: Please allow a short time for the
machine to warm up before it dispenses.
• The grind size is too fine: Let the brew time out and follow the recommended grind setting on your
next brew.
• The machine needs to be descaled: Follow the instructions under the Cleaning & Maintenance section.
Why is the espresso stream small/flowing slowly?
There could be several reasons behind this.
• The grind size is too fine: Let the brew time out and follow the recommended grind setting on your
next brew.
• Basket cleanliness: Before grinding, ensure the basket is free of any clogs or debris that could impede
the flow.
• The machine needs to be descaled: Follow the instructions under the Cleaning & Maintenance section.
Why is the espresso stream flowing very fast?
• The grind size is too coarse: Let the brew time out and follow the recommended grind setting on your
next brew.
• Coee is tamped too lightly: When tamping, make sure to place the portafilter on a level surface. Place
the assisted tamper inside the funnel and push down on it until you feel the tamper contact the funnel.
Why does the espresso run around the edge of the portafilter?
• Portafilter is not inserted into the group head correctly: Place portafilter into group head by aligning
orange dot on portafilter with orange dot on group head. Fasten portafilter into group head until
orange dot on portafilter aligns with lock arrow on group head.
• There are coee grounds around the basket rim: Clean unwanted grounds from the edge of the
basket and portafilter to ensure portafilter sits properly in group head.
•
The group head seal needs to be replaced: Call Customer Service at AU 02 8801 7666 or NZ 0800 112 660.
Frothing does not start.
• Machine has not reached operating temperature: Please allow a short time for the machine to warm
up before frothing begins.
• Not enough water in the reservoir: Ensure the water reservoir is filled up to the min. line.
• The water reservoir is not seated firmly: Check that the water reservoir is firmly seated in its place on
the back of the machine.
• Wand is not inserted down: Ensure the steam wand is inserted into the milk jug, with the milk jug
properly seated on the platform.
• Not enough milk in the milk jug: Ensure milk is filled up to the min. line.
My grinder is jammed.
• The grinder becomes jammed when the machine is unable to grind due to grind size being too fine
for hard textured beans such as light roasts.
• To clear out a jam, first, remove and empty out the bean hopper. Reinstall the bean hopper, lock it,
and set the grind size to 25. With the portafilter in the grinding cradle, press and hold start grind.
This should grind away and remove any material in the grinder that is causing the jam. If this fails to
resolve the jam, please contact customer service.
My grinder is clogged.
• A clog is when the grinder has a buildup of residue or grounds. Often occurring from the frequent use
of oily or softer beans, such as dark roasts. This will be indicated by a low output of coee grounds
and the add beans indicator lit up while there are beans in the hopper.
