CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AFTER A BREW
1
After the unit has cooled, remove the
filter holder from the brew basket. If
using a paper filter, empty the used
grounds and discard it. If using
the permanent filter, wash it thoroughly
with soap and warm water or place on
the top rack of the dishwasher.
2 Empty the water reservoir and
hand-wash or place in the dishwasher
with opening facing downwards.
We recommend thoroughly washing
the water reservoir weekly.
NOTE: For best results, we recommend
rinsing the reservoir after brewing and refilling
with fresh water the next time you brew.
3 We recommend cleaning your carafe
with warm, soapy water, or placing it
on the top rack of your dishwasher.
If you want to clean the carafe more
thoroughly, we recommend using a soft
foam brush. DO NOT use a wire brush.
NOTE: The glass carafe, brew-through lid,
removable filter holder, permanent filter,
water reservoir, water reservoir lid, and
scoop are 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.
TO CLEAN AND DESCALE YOUR
NINJA COFFEE BREWER:
The clean function allows you to clean
your unit whenever you would like. As a
guideline, we suggest running a clean cycle
if it starts taking longer than 12-15 minutes
to brew a full carafe of coffee.
NOTE: Make sure the SMALL BATCH
button is not selected/illuminated.
1
Set 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 12-Cup Line (60 fl. oz.).
OR
Add 16 oz. of white vinegar to the water
reservoir, then fill the rest of the reservoir
with water up to, but not exceeding, the
12-Cup Line (60 fl. oz.).
IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.
3 Once the water reservoir is filled with
your cleaning solution or vinegar mixture,
press the CLEAN button. The clean cycle
takes approximately 25–35 minutes. To
cancel the clean cycle, press the CLEAN
button again or press the Power button.
4 The unit will beep when the clean cycle
successfully completes.
5 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.
6 Refill the reservoir with fresh water up to,
but not exceeding, the 12-Cup Line and
set the empty carafe beneath the brew
basket.
7 Flush the system by running a
12-Cup Classic Brew cycle with
water only. After the cycle is
complete, discard the water and
thoroughly clean the carafe.
NOTE: The clean cycle takes
approximately 25–35 minutes. If you
cancel the clean cycle, your machine
will not be properly descaled.
NOTE: Running a water-only clean cycle
will not descale the brewer properly.
NOTE: Hard water will cause scale buildup
faster than soft water and the brewer will
indicate it needs cleaning more often.
