Programming Your Coffeemaker

1. Setting the Clock

When the coffeemaker is plugged in, 12:00 will appear until you set the time.

Entering “Time Set” Mode:

To set the time, hold down either the “Hours” or “Minutes” button until the clock begins flashing (about 2 seconds). You are now in the “Time Set” mode and can operate either button to achieve the desired setting. The buttons can be held down to scroll through the digits, or pressed and released lightly to advance one digit at a time.

When scrolling, the numbers will advance slowly at first and then speed up to the rate of about three per second. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, release the button and press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. Be careful to make sure that the PM indicator is on if a

PM time is desired.

Exiting “Time Set” Mode:

The “Time Set” mode can be exited in one of two ways:

1.Press any button besides the “Hours” or “Minutes” button. This will exit the “Time Set” and activate the selected function.

2.Do nothing. If neither the “Hours” nor “Minutes” button is pressed for a period of five seconds, the “Time Set” mode will be exited.

2.Setting the Program Time:

When you press the “Program Set” button, it displays the current program time (default time 12:00 p.m.).

Entering “Set Program Time” Mode:

Press and hold the “Program Set” button (about

2 seconds) until the green light and LCD display begin to flash. This signals that you have entered the “Set Program Time” mode. The desired time can be set by pressing the “Hours” and “Minutes” buttons to scroll forward through the digits. Pressing and holding either button will allow you

to scroll continuously, slowly at first, and then to accelerate to the rate of about three digits per second. As the desired time setting approaches, release the button and then press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. The coffeemaker will start to brew at the programmed time.

The “Program” mode cannot be entered if the coffeemaker is in its “brew” or “keep warm” cycle.

Exiting “Set Program Time” Mode:

“Set Program Time” may be exited in any of three ways:

1.Press the “Program Set” button. This will cause the coffeemaker to revert to its previous state. If it was OFF, it will return to the OFF position. If “Programmed”,

it will revert to this state, and so on. This is a safety feature.

2.Press any other button (except “Hours” or “Minutes”). “Set Program Time” will be exited and the function of that button will be executed.

3.Do nothing. If neither the “Hours” nor “Minutes” button is pressed for a period of five seconds, the “Set Program Time” mode will be exited and the programmed setting will be in effect.

PROGRAMMING AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF TIME

The Automatic Shutoff Time can be programmed anywhere from immediate shutoff after completion of the brew cycle up to four hours. When the coffeemaker shuts itself off, two tones will sound. Two hours is the default time. The 0:00 setting shuts the unit off immediately after brewing is complete. To check the current setting, press and hold the “On/Off” button and the Automatic Shutoff Time will be displayed.

To change the preset time, press and hold the “On/Off” button until the red “power” light and LCD display begin to flash.

This signals that you have entered the “Set Automatic Shutoff” mode.

Press the “Hours” and “Minutes” buttons to scroll forward through the digits until desired time appears. The first setting which appears is preset at “2:00”. When it’s at “4:00”, the next press key of “hour” will roll back to “0:00”, since four hours is the maximum Automatic Shutoff setting. Pressing and
