BEFORE
YOUR
FIRST
BREW
You’ll need to prime your
system by running two
Full Carafe brew cycles,
using only fresh water.
With your brewer plugged
in and powered on, fill the
reservoir with fresh water
up to, but not exceeding,
the Max Fill line. Place the
empty carafe under the
brew basket, then select
Full Carafe and Classic Brew.
When the first cycle is
complete, discard the water
in the carafe and repeat.
After completing two
water-only priming cycles,
you’ll be ready to brew
delicious coee.

DRIP STOP
CAN’T WAIT FOR
THAT FIRST CUP?
Close the drip stop to
pause the carafe brew
cycle, and then pour
yourself a cup. Reopen
the drip stop to continue
the brew.
STOP THE DRIPS
AFTER A BREW
At the end of a brew,
close the drip stop to
prevent coee dripping
from the brew basket.
4
HIGH-ALTITUDE
CALIBRATION BREW
(Optional, but recommended for
users in high-altitude areas.)
Because water boils at lower
temperatures at higher altitudes,
running a calibration cycle before
your first brew allows the unit to
detect the boiling point of water
at your location. Refer to the
Owner’s Guide for instructions.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
CUP, MUG, OR CARAFE
FILL TO THE MAX LINE
Fill up to, but do not exceed, the Max Fill line.
REMOVABLE FILTER HOLDER & FILTER OPTIONS
TRAVEL MUG
& XL SIZES
Place your XL Cup, Travel
Mug, or XL Tumbler on
the base of the brewer.

Pull down the cup
platform to set
your mug on it.
CARAFE
Place your carafe on the
Intelligent Warming Plate.
The Intelligent Warming
Plate will only turn on if
brewing a Full or Half Carafe
of Classic or Rich Brew.
WANT YOUR COFFEE TO STAY HOT LONGER?
You can program how long the Intelligent Warming Plate
remains on (up to 4 hours) and/or set the temperature to
High or Low. Refer to the Owner’s Guide for instructions.
3
MANUALLY TURN OFF THE INTELLIGENT WARMING
PLATE BY PRESSING STAY WARM AGAIN.
NOTE: The HOT SURFACE indicator will
illuminate when the warming plate surface is hot.
The indicator will remain illuminated until the
warming plate has returned to a safe temperature.
NOTE: A permanent filter is not included
with this unit, but can be purchased online
at ninjakitchen.com.
The filter holder removes for easy filling and quick cleanup. Place either a paper filter or
permanent filter (sold separately) into the filter holder. To avoid spills and drips after a brew,
keep the paper or permanent filter inside the filter holder as you carry it to the trash.
Place your permanent mesh filter into the
filter holder, then add your coee directly
into it.
IF USING
PERMANENT FILTER
Fold a #4 paper cone filter along the seams
and insert firmly into the filter holder.
