to brew again. If you forget, your Ninja Coffee Bar will give 
you a friendly audible reminder. 
INTELLIGENT WARMING PLATE
The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on 
after a full or half carafe size of Classic or Rich brew. The 
Intelligent Warming Plate will adjust the heat it produces in 
order to avoid burning the coffee over time.

when the warming plate is hot. Do not touch the 
surface when this light is illuminated.
STAY WARM BUTTON
Press the Stay Warm Button after the brew to turn the 
Intelligent Warming Plate off. You can turn the Intelligent 
Warming Plate back on within 2 hours of the brew by 
pressing the stay warm button again if desired. (Fig.18)

  NOTE: Rich Brew will use slightly less water and yield 
slightly less brewed coffee than Classic Brew.
BREWING COFFEE
NOTE: Each brew has a pre-infusion cycle with 
varying times. The brew will begin, stop, and be 
quiet for a short period of time before it begins 
again. This process is used to evenly saturate your 
coffee grounds.
NOTE: For a hotter coffee, rinse the coffee cup, mug or 
glass carafe with hot water prior to brewing. 
 CAUTION: Ensure the coffee cup, mug or glass 
carafe is completely empty before starting a brewing 
cycle. Starting a brewing cycle with coffee in the 
vessel will cause an overflow.
CUSTOM BREWS: CLASSIC, RICH OR OVER ICE BREW
  Classic Brew - For a smooth, balanced flavor. 
Rich Brew - For a coffee that is richer than Classic 
Brew and still smooth, with more room for milk and 
cream.
1  After filling the water reservoir and adding ground 
coffee to the filter, be sure that the Drip Stop is open 
and the reservoir, basket, and filter are securely in 
place. 
2  Use the Multi-Serve dial to select the size of coffee 
you would like to brew. Place the empty vessel that 
you would like to brew into underneath the brew 
basket.
