Press the "Hours" and "Minutes" buttons to scroll forward through the digits until desired time appears. The first setting which appears is preset at "4:00" and the next display will be "0:00", since four hours is the maximum Automatic Shutoff setting. 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 Automatic Shutoff Time (ASO) may be programmed either before or during coffee brewing. You may also re-program the ASO time when brewing has been completed. If you do so, the Automatic Grind & Brew™ will automatically account for any time that has already elapsed after brewing. For example, if you set the ASO for 40 minutes and 25 minutes have already elapsed, the Grind & Brew™ will shut off automatically after 15 minutes (40 minutes minus the 25 elapsed equals 15 minutes). VARIABLE KEEP WARM TEMPERATURE The Automatic Grind & Brew™ has a method of setting the holding temperature of the coffee in the carafe. The display appears as a series of elliptical or oval-shaped dots across the lower portion of the digital readout, and indicates the selected temperature relative to the holding temperature preset at the factory. pm If you use a lot of milk in your coffee, set temperature higher than normal. If you prefer cooler coffee, lower the temperature. We encourage you to experiment and determine what is best for you. Please note that the heater plate on the coffeemaker is not powerful enough to raise the temperature of the coffee in the pot, once coffee has been brewed. This feature is designed as a "preset" and will affect the coffee during the brewing cycle. If the coffee is too hot, the temperature can be lowered, but since we do not recommend leaving the coffee on direct heat for more than twenty minutes, the simplest way to reduce the heat is to shut off the coffeemaker and allow coffee to cool before transfer to a thermal carafe. Never use the carafe on a heated stovetop. To Set Temperature: Press the "Set Temp" button on your coffeemaker. The time display will disappear and only the Temperature Display remains. The (-) and (+) buttons (same as Hours and Minutes, respectively) can then be used to increase or decrease the holding temperature. The selected temperature will remain programmed until you change it or until the coffeemaker is unplugged. INCREASING THE TEMPERATURE: DECREASING THE TEMPERATURE: Exiting "Set Temperature" Mode: There are three ways to exit "Set Temperature" mode: 1. Press "Set Temp" button. Time display reappears. 2. Press any button besides (-), (+) or "Temp Set". The function of the button pressed will be executed. 3. Do nothing. If neither the (-) nor (+) button is pressed for a period of five seconds, the "Set Temperature" mode will be exited. NOTE: If, at any time during the life of the coffeemaker, the temperature display bar begins to flash and the Temp Set button has no effect on the display, this indicates damage to the Coffee Temperature Monitor. Otherwise the coffeemaker will continue to function normally. Because there are no user serviceable parts inside, the coffeemaker must be returned to an authorized Cuisinart Repair Center if servicing is desired. 11
