The unit will now begin the brewing cycle at the programmed time. When the programmed time initiates the cycle, the red "ON" indicator light will show that the brewing cycle has started. NOTE: The unit will continue to attempt to brew at the programmed time, each day, until the Auto On button is turned off. The red "ON" indicator light will illuminate each time the attempt to brew is made. If there is no water in the reservoir, the unit will automatically shut off one minute later. Prewarming carafe will help keep coffee warmer, and also prevent glass liner from being damaged.

After placing 2 level tablespoons per cup of ground coffee into cone filter, return basket to closed position. To ensure safe operation, make sure basket is closed securely. With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press "ON" button; LED will light. CAUTION: Coffeemaker becomes very hot during brew cycle; handle with extreme care, as hot parts and escaping steam may cause burns. The Brew-Through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker through closed lid. When coffee has completely stopped dripping into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty, brew cycle is complete. [. . . ] Never insert your hand into carafe for cleaning. A damaged glass liner can cut your hand and cause serious injuries. Never stir inside of carafe with a spoon or other utensil. Fill to a maximum of one inch from the top of liner. [. . . ]
