Control Panel

Power Select ON/OFF Button Press this Button to turn the unit
ON to start the brewing process. You can also turn the unit OFF
by pressing this Button when the brewing cycle is complete. The
Red ON Light, above the ON/OFF Button, will illuminate when
the Coffee Maker is ON. The Green AUTO Light, above the Drip
Button, will illuminate when the Coffee Maker has been pro­grammed.

HR Button Use this Button to display the correct hour when set­ting the time.

MIN Button Use this Button to display the correct minute when
setting the time.

PROGRAM Button Use this Button to program your Coffee
Maker to start brewing at a specified time.

Brew Strength Button Use this Button to select a stronger
strength of brew. To ensure optimum flavor, the Brewing Strength
Selector regulates the brewing process based upon the amount
of coffee being prepared. When preparing 4 cups or less, press
this Button. A cup will appear in the Display. This will slow down
the flow of water into the Filter Holder to provide a rich coffee fla­vor by promoting a better saturation of grounds for smaller quan­tities. When preparing 5 or more cups, reset the selector. The
cup will disappear from the window. This will prepare a full pot of
coffee at the normal rate, allowing ample time for the grounds to
be saturated, without imparting a bitter taste.

Drip Button This Button is used to initiate the programmed pre­set brew time. You may also cancel the pre-set brew time by
pressing this Button as well.
