CARE & MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH BREW
NOTE: For best results, we recommend
rinsing the reservoir after brewing and
refilling with fresh water for the next brew.
1 After the unit has cooled, remove the
filter holder from the brew basket. If using
a paper filter, discard it. If using the
permanent filter, wash it thoroughly
with soap and warm water or place on
top rack of dishwasher.
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 a cloth to wash the inside of the
carafe. DO NOT use a wire brush.
NOTE: The glass carafe, brew-through lid,
permanent filter, removable filter holder,
water reservoir, flip-top lid, frother whisk, and
scoop are top-rack dishwasher safe.
4 After the coffee maker has cooled, wipe
down the main unit, showerhead, and
water reservoir shelf with a cloth and warm
water. DO NOT immerse the coffee maker
in water.
CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR
Empty the water reservoir and hand-wash
or place in your dishwasher.
CLEANING THE CARAFE
We recommend cleaning your carafe with
warm, soapy water.
If you want to clean the carafe more
thoroughly, we recommend using a soft
foam brush. DO NOT use a wire brush.
CLEANING & DESCALING
The CLEAN button will illuminate when a
cleaning cycle is recommended for your
unit, as calcium scale buildup could be
affecting the flavor of your coffee.
To clean and descale your Ninja® Specialty
Coffee Maker:
NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately
60 minutes. If you cancel the clean cycle,
your machine will not be properly descaled.
1 Select the Full Carafe size and set the
empty carafe beneath the brew basket.
2 Use a descaling solution specifically
formulated for coffee maker cleaning
and follow the directions on the package.
Fill the water reservoir up to, but not
exceeding, the Max Fill line (50 oz.).
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 Max Fill line.
IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar
3 Once the water reservoir is filled, press
the CLEAN button.
NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, press
the Power button or CLEAN button once.
The unit will beep and stop brewing
through the cleaning mixture. Continue to
follow the instructions starting at Step 6.
4 The clock will display and count down the
remaining clean cycle time, which takes
approximately 60 minutes to complete.
Your unit will deliver a small amount of
cleaning solution to distribute it through
the system. It will then pause, deliver
additional cleaning solution, and continue
for 60 minutes. The extended pauses
allow for maximum cleaning and descaling.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the carafe
at any time throughout the clean cycle.
5 Upon completion, the coffee maker will
beep, the clock will display End, and the
CLEAN light will turn off.
6 Empty and thoroughly clean the carafe
and 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 Max Fill line
and set the empty carafe beneath the
brew basket.
8 Flush the system by running a Full
Carafe, Classic brew cycle with water
only. After the cycle is complete, discard
the water and thoroughly clean the carafe.
NOTE: If the CLEAN light illuminates
again, then calcium buildup is still present.
Repeat the cleaning cycle instructions from
the beginning, and the CLEAN light will
automatically turn off when your coffee
maker is clean.
