Is there a way to disable the two hour timer that turns off the heating element? I'm sick of going to pour a cup and the pot being lukewarm.

I'm sorry I don't know. I could ask my husband. I would guess this is an added security feature is someone left for the day and left the pot on.

At first, I thought I had no answer for your question, but then it occurred to me that if you just turn on the coffee maker again after two hours, the heating plate should begin a new cycle.... Maybe not, but you could give it a try. However, I would also think that your coffee is going to get kind of bitter after more than a couple hours of being heated to keep warm. If you use a microwave safe ceramic cup, that can also be a quick way to heat up your coffee at any time.

No, the two hour timer is a built in fire safety feature and cannot be turned off. Most folks, including me, would consider two hour old coffee as burnt and would toss it :-)

Actually the auto-shutoff is completely settable in 10 minute increments. I have it set to turn off in 20 minutes, that way my coffee never burns.But yes the maximum is 2 hours. Honestly - and I don't mean this as a knock on anyone's preferences - anything past 30 minutes and your coffee is burnt, even on low hotplate temperatures...

People complain about it, BUT, my brother in law's house burnt to the ground while on vacation because he didn't have the auto shut off. Just turn it off and back on if you want another two hours of heat.

When the handle is in the "up" position the heating element is turned off. If there is time left on the timer it will continue its countdown until it gets to zero even though no heat is being produced. When the handle is down, power is supplied to the heating element if there is time set on the timer. When the timer gets to zero, power to the heating element is shut off. If you set too much time on the timer you can just raise the handle to shut off the power when you reach the desired cooking time and let the timer run down. HTH

I just run in thru again without the grounds after the warmer timer shuts off. I have mine set for 4 hours..... but if your drinking good coffee you wouldnt have to re-heat, It should be already gone and making another fresh pot.

If the "hold" button is pressed then it will maintain the temperature for an hour, but if the pot is removed to pour and then returned to the stand, then you have to press the hold button again or it will turn off.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

Hi Andrew, sorry I don't have an exact number for you. I can tell you this, my clients love it! I share a space with another person and sometimes the table warmer has been left on. I like the automatic turn off feature after I think 10 to 12 hours. Good luck!

This Crock-Pot goes to warm automatically. That should actually solve your problem. If you insist on a start time you should go with a "Standard" CP with simple High/low controls and use a plug in type timer.

Hi Steven, The two hour option starts cooking right away. There is no ability to delay the start of the cooking process. Best bet is too allow for a long cooking process at low temp and then let the unit keep it "warm" until you are ready to eat. Otherwise it is a great unit....it's analog, not digital....if you know what I mean. :)

To turn off the "music" press the "Timer" button for more than 3 seconds. Do this when you are not cooking anything at that moment. (I read this in a funny booklet that came with the cooker call a "Manual")

There's no delayed start that I know of. It will automatically revert to warming once the timer is done though.

hi, it comes set for a two hour shut off but it can be set for 3 or 4 hour shut off it's a great coffee maker particularly when used with the reusable fine screen filter

I always shut my coffeemaker off after use, but the instruction booklet says automatic 2 hr. shut-off.

On the lower right hand back corner there is an on/off switch that I use when I'm not needing hot water. You can also scroll through on the menu at " set time" and the "off" option will come up.

not that I know of! We've had a pot left on overnight a few times, and such a feature would be a +++.

The crock pot will turn off. I've lost 2 meals to power outages in the neighborhood. I've basically gone back to my old crock pot with a knob because I know I can trust it.
