CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING
SYSTEM
CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool
before wiping down any surface for cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the coffeemaker into
water or any other liquid.
The CLEAN button will illuminate when a cleaning cycle
is recommended for your Ninja Coffee Bar
calcium scale buildup could be affecting the flavor of
your coffee.
To clean and descale your Ninja Coffee Bar System:
NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 60 minutes.
1
Select the Full Carafe size and 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 Max Fill line (1.5L).
Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (475ml)
with white vinegar, then fill the rest of the reservoir with
water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line (1.5L).
IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.
3
Once the water reservoir is filled with your cleaning
solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button.
(Fig. 26)
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. Discard
any remaining cleaning mixture in the reservoir and the
carafe, and thoroughly clean each. Refill the reservoir
with fresh water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill
line, and set the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.
Run a Full Carafe, Classic Brew with water only to
remove any cleaning solution that could affect the flavor
of your coffee.

IMPORTANT: If you cancel the clean cycle, your
machine will not be properly descaled, and the CLEAN
indicator light will remain on.

The clock will display and countdown the remaining
clean cycle time, as this takes approximately 60
minutes to complete. Your Ninja Coffee Bar System will
deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute
it through the system. It will then pause for a half an
hour, deliver additional cleaning solution, and pause
for another half hour. The extended pauses allow for
maximum cleaning and descaling.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove the carafe at any time
throughout the clean cycle.
5
Upon completion, the brewer will beep, 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 (1.5L) 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 to
remove any cleaning solution that could affect the flavor
of your coffee.
NOTE: If the CLEAN light illuminates again, then
calcium buildup is still present. Repeat the steps above
and the CLEAN light will automatically shut off when
your brewer is clean.
