CLEANING AFTER A BREW

CAUTION: Make sure that the brewer is unplugged
from the power source before cleaning.
CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool before
cleaning.
NOTE: Do not leave coffee in the thermal carafe for an
extended period of time after a brew.
NOTE: Do not leave water in the reservoir unused for
multiple days. Rinse and replace with fresh water.
1 Before cleaning, close the Drip Stop.
2 After each brew is complete and the coffee grounds have
cooled, carefully remove the brew basket from the brewer,
discard the coffee grounds, rinse and wash with warm soap
and water.
NOTE: The brew basket and thermal carafe are not
dishwasher safe.
NOTE: The flip top water resevior lid is not dishwasher
safe
NOTE: If coffee grounds spilled over into the brew basket or
in the overflow channels, remove and rinse under water until
grounds are removed.
3 Wash the thermal carafe and brew-through lid with soap and
warm water. Use a bottle brush or a cloth to wash the inside
of the carafe.
4 Wipe machine down with a warm cloth with soap and water
to clean the base plate and outer parts. Do not immerse
the base in water.
NOTE: For best results, use a bottle brush. This will allow you
to scrub all of the inside with soap and hot water.
CLEANING YOUR THERMAL CARAFE
We recommend rinsing your carafe with warm
soapy water.
NOTE: Do not place the thermal carafe in the
dishwasher.
If you want to clean the carafe more thoroughly, we
recommend using a soft foam brush such as the one shown.

run 2 more clean cycles with fresh water to rinse the internal
parts of the brewer.

the brewer. Repeat steps above and the clean light will
automatically shut off when it senses your Ninja Coffee Bar
is clean and free of calcium build up!
Please call customer service if any servicing needs to be
performed on the brewer at 0800 862 0453.
If you continue to use your Ninja Coffee Bar after the Clean
