PREPARING FOR USE
SETTING THE CLOCK

1. When the brewer is first plugged in, HR/MIN will illuminate to indicate that the time has not been set.
2. Press the HR/MIN button to set the clock.
3. Use the Multi-Serve Dial to select the correct hour. Then, press the START BREW
   button to toggle to minutes.
4. Use the dial again to select the correct minute, and press the START BREW button
   to set the clock at the displayed time. NOTE: At any time, you can set the clock by turning on the brewer, pressing the HR/MIN button, and following steps 3­4.
   NOTE: If you unplug the brewer or in the event of a power loss, you will need to reset the clock the next time the brewer is plugged in.

HIGH-ALTITUDE CALIBRATION BREW

Required for users in high-altitude areas. Not running the high-altitude calibration brew in a high-altitude area will result in excessive steaming during brewing. Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes, running a calibration cycle before your first brew allows the brewer to detect the boiling point of water at your location. Running a calibration cycle will help deliver a consistent brew each time.

1. Fill the water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
2. Insert the brew basket and slide the sliding lid closed, then place an empty carafe on the base.
3. Press and hold both BREW STYLE and HR/MIN until you hear a confirmation sound.
4. A calibration cycle will begin, and the display will count down until the Altitude
   calibration is complete. When complete, the brewer will beep and display “End” on the dial. Discard the water in the carafe.
   NOTE: This calibration is permanently saved and will not be lost if power is lost or brewer is unplugged. Brewer can be recalibrated at any time if the altitude where it is being used changes.

PRIMING YOUR NINJA® DUALBREW PRO COFFEE SYSTEM

1. Clean all accessories before your first brew.
2. Plug the brewer in and turn it on by pressing the power button.
3. Lift the water reservoir off of its base. Remove the reservoir lid. Add water up to, but not exceeding the Full line. Return the water reservoir to the brewer. DO NOT fill the water reservoir with anything other than water, as other liquids may damage your brewer.
   NOTE: We recommend using cool or room temperature water in the reservoir. DO NOT fill with hot or boiling water.
4. Remove the Ninja Pod Adapter by pushing the handle away from you so that the position indicator is in the REMOVE position. Then, using the handles on the left and right, lift the adapter out of the brewer.
   
5. After the adapter is removed, slide the sliding lid all the way forward over the brew basket until it is completely closed and clicks into place.
   NOTE: DO NOT place ground coffee directly in the brew basket without a filter.
6. Center the carafe with the brew-through lid installed below the brew basket. With everything securely in place and the brewer powered on, turn the dial to select the Full Carafe size and press the BREW STYLE button to select Classic.
   
7. To start, press the START BREW button. When the cycle is complete, discard the water and rinse the carafe. You are now ready to use your Ninja DualBrew Pro Coffee System.
   

CONFIGURING THE WATER RESERVOIR

The water reservoir can be positioned to the right or along the back of the brewer to optimize counter space. To configure the water reservoir:

1 Remove the reservoir from the base.

2 Remove the water reservoir latch.

3 Swing the reservoir base around the brewer until it clicks into place. You may feel some resistance.

NOTE: Make sure the power cord is not in the way of the reservoir base.
4 Rotate the water reservoir latch 180 degrees and re-insert it in the new gap where the base was previously positioned.

5 Place the water reservoir back on the base.

USING THE NINJA® DUALBREW PRO COFFEE SYSTEM ­ CONT.

BREW VOLUMES AND MEASUREMENTS Each size and brew style produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength and flavor.
NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed; this will cause slight variability in brew volumes.

NOTE: Brew volumes may be slightly larger or smaller than what is stated due to various factors in the system.

APPROXIMATE BREW VOLUMES

NOTE: There may be some water left in the reservoir after your brew. This is normal to keep the brewer from running out of water.

NOTE: You do not need to adjust the size for Specialty Brew–it always yields approximately 4 oz.

MEASURING YOUR COFFEE GROUNDS

For best results, use the measurements on the Ninja Smart ScoopTM or in the chart 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, you will use the same amount of coffee grounds as if you were to select Cup and Over Ice.
NOTE: Adjust to your preferred taste. More scoops result in stronger coffee but slightly lower volumes, fewer scoops result in weaker coffee and slightly higher volumes. Use fewer scoops of decaffeinated coffee to prevent overflow. Use a medium-sized grind if grinding whole beans. Grinding beans too finely may cause the brew basket to overflow.

BREWING GROUND COFFEE
USING THE BREW BASKET AND SLIDING LID

1 To prepare for brewing, open the sliding lid by sliding it back under the hood and ensure the brew basket is installed.

2 Place a #4 paper cone filter or permanent filter (not included on all models, sold separately) in the brew basket.

3 Use the Ninja Smart ScoopTM and follow the measurements on the scoop or on the Coffee Measurement Chart to fill the filter.

4 Return the sliding lid to its closed position by sliding it forwards over the brew basket until it clicks into place.
NOTE: Fold the paper filter along the seams, open the top fully, and firmly press it into the brew basket, making sure it is fully seated.

5 Press the handle down firmly to pierce the pod, and ensure that it is completely closed. There will be an audible click and some resistance when closing the handle as the needles puncture the pod.

BREWING PODS
USING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER

1 To prepare for brewing, open the sliding lid by sliding it back under the hood, and ensure the brew basket is installed.
NOTE: The Ninja Pod Adapter comes already installed in the brewer.

2 Ensure the adapter is in the REMOVE position before installing. Then place the adapter over the brew basket and push down firmly so it is fully seated.

NOTE: Make sure the brew basket is clean and free of any filters before inserting the Ninja® Pod Adapter.

3 Slide the Ninja Pod Adapter handle into the LOCK position.

4 Lift the the Ninja Pod Adapter handle to reveal the pod holder. Place a new pod in the holder.

5 Press the handle down firmly to pierce the pod, and ensure that it is completely closed. There will be an audible click and some resistance when closing the handle as the needles puncture the pod.

NOTE: DO NOT remove the top of the K-Cup Pod.
HIGH-ALTITUDE BREWING: Before closing the Ninja Pod Adapter handle to start a brew, Using your fingers, carefully apply pressure on the K-Cup Pod until the bottom of the K-Cup Pod is punctured by the exit needle, and the pod is fully seated in the pod holder. This releases excessive gas built up from the high altitude and prevents pod blowout.
NOTE: Reusable K-Cup Coffee Filters are not compatible with the Ninja Pod Adapter. If using ground coffee, use the grounds mode with a paper or permanent filter (sold separately) to brew a single-serve size.

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.

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

NOTE: The glass carafe, brew-through lid, permanent filter, brew basket, water reservoir, water reservoir lid, frother whisk, and Ninja Smart ScoopTM 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.

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.

20 1-877-646-5288

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.
IMPORTANT: Only use white vinegar.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
There’s sediment in my coffee.

• If using a permanent filter, this 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.
  NOTE: DO NOT use a paper filter in conjunction with a permanent filter, as water and/or coffee can back up and clog the filter basket. Over Ice Brew is not cold.
• Ensure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is filled all the way to the top with ice cubes
  before brewing. Brewer will brew at elevated temperatures to lock in the best flavor, then the ice will cool the brewed coffee to the perfect temperature. Coffee is too weak.
• For stronger coffee, use the Rich brew setting. For an even bolder flavor, you can add more coffee grounds to the filter. Coffee is too strong.
• For milder coffee, use the Classic brew setting. For an even milder flavor, use fewer coffee grounds in the filter. Brew cycle is too slow.
• The brew time will vary based on size and brew style. Full carafe sizes and Rich brews will take longer to brew than single-serve and classic brews. The progress bar on the control panel will indicate brew status. Cup or travel mug overflowed.
• Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart on page 10. Brew basket overflowed.
• The bottom of the brew basket may be clogged. This can happen with finely ground coffee or too many coffee grounds in the filter. Medium-grind coffee is recommended.
• Using both the permanent filter and a paper filter can cause grounds to clog and water to back up in the brew basket. Use only the permanent filter or a paper filter.
• Decaf coffee grounds absorb water differently, so use fewer scoops when using decaf. There is water left in the reservoir.
• When the reservoir is filled to a specific size and then that size is brewed, there will be some water left in the reservoir. This is normal to ensure the reservoir does not run dry for the best performance of the pump and brew system. Brewer is leaking.
