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 Ninja Grounds Adapter and close the brewer lid, then place the empty carafe on the base.
3. Press and hold both CLASSIC and HR/MN 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 clock and ounce display. 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.

USING THE NINJA POD AND GROUNDS ADAPTER

The Ninja DualBrew XL Coffee Maker comes with a unique Ninja Grounds Adapter already installed and an additional Ninja Pod Adapter for pods.

INSTALLING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER

First, ensure the Ninja Grounds Adapter is removed from the coffee maker. Place the Ninja Pod Adapter in the brew basket, ensure the handle is aligned with the brew basket handle, and press down on the Ninja Pod Adapter firmly.

INSTALLING THE NINJA GROUNDS ADAPTER

Place the Permanent Filter or #4 paper cone filter in the brew basket, add grounds, then place the Ninja Grounds Adapter over the brew basket and filter and ensure the handle is aligned with the brew basket handle.

PRIMING YOUR NINJA DUALBREW XL HOT & ICED COFFEE MAKER

1. Clean all accessories before the 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.
4. Ensure the Ninja Grounds Adapter is placed over the brew basket and is aligned with the brew basket handle and close the lid.
5. Center the carafe with the brew-through lid installed below the brew basket. With everything securely in place and the coffee maker powered on, use the Multi-Serve Arrow Buttons to select the Full Carafe size. Ensure the Drip Stop Indicator is set to Open.

NOTE: DO NOT use coffee for the priming brew.

USING THE NINJA DUALBREW XL HOT & ICED COFFEE MAKER

BREW VOLUMES AND MEASUREMENTS

Each size and brew style produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength and flavor. Rich brew will produce slightly less than Classic.

GROUNDS

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.

NOTE: Over Ice is designed to brew coffee directly over ice, accounting for ice melt by delivering a reduced amount of coffee. The total volume listed in the Approximate Brew Volumes table reflects the overall drink volume, taking into account the ice in your cup.

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.

PODS

USING THE NINJA® DUALBREW XL HOT & ICED COFFEE MAKER CONT

MEASURING YOUR COFFEE GROUNDS

For best results, use the measurements on the Ninja Smart Scoop™ or in the chart to determine how much ground coffee to use for each brew size. Always use level scoops when measuring ground coffee. The amount of ground coffee for each size will remain the same for any brew type you select. For example, if you select 10 oz. and Classic, you will use the same amount of coffee grounds as if you were to select 10 oz. 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.

NOTE: 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.

COFFEE MEASUREMENT CHART

BREWING GROUND COFFEE

USING THE BREW BASKET

1. To prepare for brewing, open the coffee maker lid and ensure the brew basket is installed.
2. Place a #4 paper cone filter or Permanent Filter in the brew basket.
3. Use the Ninja Smart Scoop and follow the measurements on the scoop or on the Coffee Measurement Chart to fill the filter.
4. Place the Ninja Grounds Adapter over the brew basket so it is fully seated and is aligned with the brew basket handle.
5. Close the coffee maker lid.

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 installed.

NOTE: DO NOT place ground coffee directly in the brew basket without a filter.

USING THE NINJA® DUALBREW XL HOT & ICED COFFEE MAKER CONT.

BREWING PODS

USING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER

To prepare for brewing, open the lid, and ensure the brew basket is installed.

HIGH-ALTITUDE BREWING: Before closing the Ninja Pod Adapter handle to start a brew, using your fingers, carefully apply pressure on the pod until the bottom of the 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.

Press the coffee maker lid 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: Make sure the brew basket is clean and free of any filters before inserting the Ninja Pod Adapter.

3 Place a new pod in the holder.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the pod is not damaged, torn, or expired DO NOT remove the top of the pod.

NOTE: Reusable K-Cup Coffee Filters are not compatible with the Ninja Pod Adapter. If using ground coffee, use the Ninja Grounds Adapter with a paper filter or included Permanent Filter to brew a single-serve size.

BREWING STYLES

• CLASSIC: Smooth, well-balanced flavor
• RICH: More intense flavor that stands up to milk, cream, or flavoring. Brews slightly less coffee than Classic.
• OVER ICE: Specially designed to brew hot over ice for freshly brewed iced coffee that is not watered down. Always fill your vessel to the top with ice cubes before brewing Over Ice.

NOTE: Over Ice brew is designed to produce a concentrated brew into a vessel filled with ice. It is normal for some ice in the vessel to melt as the coffee is brewed, and this will produce a cold beverage with the ideal strength and flavor.

NOTE: Rich brew will use slightly less water and yield slightly less brewed coffee than Classic brew. See Approximate Brew Volumes chart for additional information.

HOW TO BREW

1. Use the Multi-Serve arrow buttons to select the brew size. Place the empty vessel or carafe under the brew basket.
2. Press either the CLASSIC, RICH, or OVER ICE brew style to start your brew. To cancel the brew at any time, press the selected brew style again or press the Power button.

NOTE: If making a single cup, lower the Single-Serve Cup Platform and set your vessel in the center of it to help prevent splashing. This applies to all brew styles.

NOTE: The brewing cycle will begin, then pause for a short period before resuming. This process is used to evenly saturate the coffee grounds. This applies to all brew styles.

1. The brewer will beep to signal the brew has started. The progress bar between the arrows will illuminate to indicate the progress of the brew. When the brew is finished, the machine will beep again and End will appear on the display.

NOTE: Ninja Pods not included

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AFTER A BREW

1. After the coffee maker has cooled, remove the Ninja Grounds Adapter and brew basket. If using pods, remove the Ninja Pod Adapter and brew basket. Wash the used parts thoroughly with soap and warm water.
2. 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 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 to clean carafe.

CLEANING THE BREW BASKET, NINJA POD AND GROUNDS ADAPTER

If brewing grounds, allow the coffee maker to cool. First remove the Ninja Grounds Adapter by pinching the right tab of the handle and either lift straight up if on top of the brew basket, or pull out of the coffee maker lid. If brewing pods, first remove and discard the used pod, then remove the Ninja Pod Adapter by pinching the right tab of the handle and lifting straight up. Wash the Ninja Pod Adapter, Ninja Grounds Adapter, and Brew Basket with warm soapy water.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE CONT.

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREW SYSTEM

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.

To clean and descale your Ninja Dual Brew Coffee Maker:

1. Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.
2. Fill the water reservoir with 16 oz. of white vinegar, then fill the rest of the reservoir with water up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
3. OR Use a descaling solution specifically formulated for coffee maker cleaning and follow the directions on the package.

NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 90 minutes.

IMPORTANT: Only use white vinegar.

NOTE: If the display ever reads "CLOG," it indicates heavy or residual coffee ground buildup. Refer to the "CLOG" section in the troubleshooting guide.

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. The display will highlight the full carafe and 70 oz. which is the amount that will be brewed. Then press the CLEAN button again 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 90 minutes to complete. Your brewer will deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute through the system. It will then pause, deliver additional cleaning solution, and repeat this process for 90 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 full carafe classic water-only brew. 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

CLOCK DISPLAY MESSAGES:

CLOG

• If this appears on your control panel, this means either there are grounds built up inside the top or bottom needles or calcium scale buildup in the brew system.
• 1 Ensure that the top and bottom of the pod you are using is punctured.
• a. If the pod wasn't punctured, try another pod, pressing down firmly on the top of the pod to ensure it is pierced by the bottom needle, then close the coffee maker lid.
• b. If the new pod still did not puncture, please contact a service center.
• c. If the pod was punctured, go to step 2.
• 2 Check if there are any visible grounds inside the top and bottom needles:
• a. If there are grounds in the top and bottom needles, use a flat wire or plastic clip such as a paper clip to clean the grounds out of the needles.
• b. After cleaning out the needles, restart the system by turning off the coffee maker, then turning it back on, and run a water-only full carafe classic brew to clear the system.
• c. If there are no grounds present or the display still shows "CLOG", go to Step 3.
• 3 There may be calcium scale buildup in the brew system and a clean cycle needs to be run immediately to remove the buildup. See 'Cleaning & Descaling Your Brew System' for instructions.

End

• The brew cycle is complete.

Add Wtr

• The system does not have enough water in the reservoir to complete your brew. Add fresh water to the reservoir and then press the brew style button that was being brewed to resume the brew.
• If the reservoir is filled with water, remove and reseat the reservoir by pressing firmly down on the reservoir. If the issue persists, contact a service center.

STOP

• A brew cycle was cancelled.

ERROR MESSAGES:

• If the clock displays "Er" and then a number (ex. "Er 03"), contact a service center.

There's sediment in my coffee.

• If using the 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 progress.

Cup or travel mug overflowed.

• Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CONT.

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 a Permanent Filter in conjunction with 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.

• After removing the water reservoir, there may be a small amount of water in the reservoir valve. This can be easily removed with a dry cloth.
• If the leak is coming from above the brew basket, refer to "Brew basket overflowed." above.
• If the leaking is coming from below the brew basket, close the drip stop.
• If the leak is coming from the bottom of the brewer, contact a service center
• Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator is illuminating orange.
• Run a clean cycle. If you have recently completed a clean cycle, you may need to run another cycle to remove additional mineral buildup that occurs naturally over time and is common in hard-water areas. Make sure you are using vinegar or a descaling solution and follow the cleaning.

Brewer is not detecting the Ninja Pod Adapter.

• Ensure the adapter is fully seated in place over the brew basket with the coffee maker lid closed.

Coffee is splattering.

• Some splatter is normal. Use the cup tray when possible to reduce the distance between the cup and the coffee outlet.
• Ensure the Ninja Pod adapter is installed over the brew basket when brewing pods.

Water reservoir is unstable.

• Ensure the water reservoir is properly installed on the hook on the side of the brewer and pressed down firmly into the water reservoir base.

NOTE: In order to ensure the highest possible standard for refurbished items, all units are thoroughly inspected as part of the process. For this item, water may be used during the refurbishing process and so; you may notice some condensation in the water reservoir. It is recommended to rinse the water reservoir with fresh water prior to its first use.

   Press either the CLASSIC, RICH, or OVER ICE brew style to start your brew. There will be an illuminating progress bar on the display to track the progress of your brew.

CLASSIC: Smooth, well balanced flavor.

RICH: More intense flavor. Brews slightly less coffee than Classic.

OVER ICE: Always fill your vessel to the top with ice cubes prior to brewing. Coffee dispensed accounts for ice melt.

THE BREW MAY PAUSE ONCE OR MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE BREW CYCLE. THIS IS NORMAL. Pausing allows the coffee grounds to fully extract and unlock the full flavor of the brew style.

DRIP STOP

The drip stop is used to close off the brew basket to prevent any coffee from dispensing. You will need to manually open and close the drip stop by moving the handle to your desired position. The drip stop can be closed and reopened at any point before, during, or after a brew.

RIGHT POSITION: OPEN

LEFT POSITION: CLOSED
