NINJA CFP101 Dualbrew Hot Iced Coffee Maker
BEFORE YOUR FIRST BREW
IMPORTANT: Ensure you prime your coffee maker before your first brew.
TO PRIME YOUR COFFEE MAKER
- Plug it into an outlet and turn it on.
- Fill the water reservoir to the FULL line with fresh water and place it on the base.
- Place the empty carafe under the brew basket and run a water-only Full Carafe, Classic brew.
- Once the brew is complete, discard the water; the coffee maker is now primed for use.
NOTE: If using the brewer in a high-altitude area, running a calibration brew is required. Not running a high-altitude calibration brew in a high-altitude area will result in excessive steaming during brewing. Refer to page 4 of the Owner’s Guide for instructions on running a high-altitude calibration brew.
