PROGRAMMING YOUR
COFFEEMAKER
1. To turn the coffeemaker on and off:
a. Turn on: To turn coffeemaker on, turn
the function knob to the “Brew” position.
Lift the flip switch up and release. The red
“on” indicator light illuminates and brewing
cycle starts.
b. Turn off: Depress the flip switch down
and release.
2. To set the time:
Turn the function knob to “Clock”. Push and
hold or pulse the “Hour” or “Minute” buttons to
set the time of day. Turn the function knob to
any other setting to begin time, or simply wait
until the numerals stop blinking.
a. “Hour” Button: To change the hour,
press the “Hour” push button. Pressing and
holding the push button will cause hours to
increase more rapidly. Pulse the push but-
ton to increase hour more slowly. When
the number count passes 12, the PM light
activates and will be displayed on the LCD.
After setting the time, the default hour is the
last time set unless power is lost.
b. “Minute” Button: To change the minute,
press the “Minute” push button. Pressing
and holding the push button will cause
minutes to increase more rapidly. Pulse the
push button to increase minutes more slow-
ly. After setting the time, the default minute
is the last time set, unless power is lost.
Note: As you scroll, 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.
3. To program the Auto On: Turn the function
knob to “Program” to set the desired time
to engage the Auto On. Change the auto
on time in the program setting using the
minute and hour push buttons, as you would
to set the time of day. Then turn the function
knob to “Auto On”. The LCD will display the
current time. Lift and release the flip switch.
The green light comes on to signal that the
programming function is in use, and the
brewing cycle will begin at the programmed
time. At the programmed time, the red light
will come on with the green light, indicating
that the brewing cycle is starting. Both lights
will go off after keep warm cycle.
To turn off: Depress the flip switch down
and release.
Note: To activate the auto-on feature again
for brewing the next day, you must lift and
release the flip switch; the green auto-on
light will turn on.
4. To program the Variable Auto Off:
Turn the function knob to the “Auto Off”
position. Press and hold the “Hour” button
for two seconds, until the clock display starts
blinking. To change the hour and minutes, use
the push buttons as you would to set the time
of day. The Auto Off time can be set from
zero to four hours.
5. Decalcification:
Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium
deposits which form over time on the metal
parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your Brew
Central™ Coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit
from time to time. The frequency depends
upon the hardness of your tap water and how
often you use the coffeemaker. The flashing
Self Clean light will indicate when you should
clean your coffeemaker.
Self Cleaning
If the Self Clean light begins to flash when
the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you
that the calcium buildup is interfering with the
functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor
of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir
to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar
and 2/3 water. Press the Self Clean button.
When the self clean light glows, turn the
coffeemaker on by pressing the flip switch to
ON. The Self Clean light will shine steadily.
The coffeemaker is now in Self Clean mode.
One cycle should be sufficient to adequately
clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is
completed and the five beeps sound, the cof-
feemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker
ON to see if the Self Clean light continues to
flash. If it does, turn it to OFF and then repeat
the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of
vinegar and water.
If the Self Clean light no longer flashes, turn
the coffeemaker to OFF and then run one
cycle of fresh cold water through the unit
before using the unit again to brew coffee.
