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.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the thermal carafe in the
dishwasher.
NOTE: Pressing the CLEAN button again during the
clean cycle will cause the machine to brew through all
remaining cleaning solution; however, your machine will
not be properly descaled.
The CLEAN button will illuminate when a cleaning cycle
is recommended for your Ninja Coffee Bar
scale buildup could be affecting the flavor of your
coffee. If you do not clean your brewer when instructed
to do so, eventually the CLEAN light will flash and an
urgent "CLn" message will appear on the clock display.
The cleaning cycle is a 2-stage process. The reservoir
is first filled with a cleaning solution and later with clean
water to flush the system.
To clean and descale your Ninja Coffee Bar:
1
Select the Full Carafe size and set the empty carafe
beneath the brew basket.
2
(Recommended) 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
Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz.)
with white vinegar, then fill the rest of the reservoir with
water up to, but not exceeding the Max Fill line
IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.
3 Once the water reservoir is filled with your cleaning
solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button.

, as calcium
®
(50 oz.).
OR
(50 oz.).
4 A 1-hour timer on the clock display counts down the
remaining clean cycle time, flashing between the
remaining time and "CLn". Your Ninja Coffee Bar 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove carafe at any time
throughout the clean cycle. DO NOT press any
buttons during this 1-hour period, as this will
cancel all progress of the cleaning.
5
After one hour, your Ninja Coffee Bar will discharge the
remainder of the cleaning mixture into the carafe. Upon
completion, the Ninja Coffee Bar will beep, and a flush
message ("FLUS"/"LUSH") will appear on the clock
screen for a 15 minute timeframe.
6
Empty and thoroughly clean the carafe and water
reservoir by following the cleaning instructions in the
Care & Maintenance section of this Owner's Guide.
This removes 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 (50 oz.) and set the empty
carafe beneath the brew basket.
8
Within the 15 minute timeframe, and while the clock
display reads "FLUS"/"LUSH", press the CLEAN button
once to begin the Flush stage. The Flush stage takes
approximately 8 minutes.
NOTE: If you miss the 15 minute Flush message on the
clock display, or the CLEAN button was pressed twice
during this timeframe canceling the Flush stage, run
a Full Carafe, Classic Brew cycle with water only (no
coffee grounds) to rinse any residual descaling solution
out of your machine.
9
Upon completion of the Flush stage, the CLEAN light
will turn off. Discard the water in the carafe, and
thoroughly clean it to remove any cleaning solution that
could affect the flavor of your coffee.
NOTE: If taste remains affected by cleaning solution,
please run a Full Carafe, Classic Brew with water only
(no coffee grounds).
NOTE:
If the CLEAN light illuminates again, then
calcium scale buildup is still present. Repeat the steps
above and the CLEAN light will automatically shut off
when your brewer is clean.
Please call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288 to
purchase descaling solution or if the brewer needs any
servicing.
