How does one turn this pot ON? Do you actually have to turn a knob? Most other Cuisinart's have a toggle, or push on/off button.

Yes, Brian, there is a know below the clock which is quite visible in the picture. It is a piece if plastic that is shaped more a bar that goes up and down rather than a circular knob and you can turn it to the left or right and goes all the way around. The options are for setting clock, timer, program, auto-on etc. You seem quite interested in making a purchase so I will tell you the only thing that is annoying is that you have to buy these little charcoal filters and replace them every month or two or so depending how much you use the coffee maker. But using those filters really, really enhances the taste of the coffee which I like strong. So go for it - Cathy Yes, Brian, there is a know below the clock which is quite visible in the picture.

The knob has an on/off position. No toggle or button like the others. Still makes coffee just like our other cuisinart though.

Ps - Brian, it comes with your first filter and you can buy them through Amazon - easier to find them, and fast. So, you turn your switch to "on" and enjoy (or program it so it is ready when you waken). Cathy

This is a programmable coffee maker and has a dial just below the digital clock on the front. Turn the knob to the immediate left and it will start brewing a pot of coffee. The other parts of the dial are for programming the timing of the brew and adjusting the clock.

The coffee maker has one dial that controls its functions (on, off, time set, auto set, auto time start) and two buttons for advancing the time setting function. To turn on, you move the dial one click to the left. So yes, you have to turn the selector to the left to turn it on, and to the right to turn it off.

good to know - I wasn't sure if I had to use that filter or not. They are expensive. - cathy

I read the manual briefly when I bought it--I recall nothing related. You can see all of the buttons in the picture. It's pretty basic--turn it on to boil, it then by default keeps it hot until you shut it off. Usually I'll just pull the power cord when I'm done with it.

On top of motor there is a knob that has a low to high power setting. Turn the knob to turn on or off.

I agree with both previous answers - the timer is really loud. I can't find my instruction booklet, but the box it came in said automatic shut-off. I just checked the Cuisinart website and it says automatic shut-off after four hours.

It has a toggle switch. Manual, but not terrible. If it's plugged into something that you turn on and off, it'll run when that component is turned on.

There is nothing to turn on...just place it where you want and then when the color changes follow the instructions. There is no on/off switch.

the on/off button is on the knob right below the actual iron and it's on a raised part, so it would be near impossible to accidentally turn it off by design. The ON/OFF button is not easily hit when your hand is on the actual handle.

No the coffee pot turns off after a perset time. There is n o way to preset the timer.I haven't tried it but you might be able to leave t on and plug it into a timed outlet and it would turn on.I haven't tried it. E Baker

Plug it in. Fill it to the inidicated level with water. Push down black lever at back bottom, below handle. Light will come on. When water boils, lever flips up and heat is turned off automatically.

You have to hold the button in. Unfortunately it doesn't have an on/off button or switch.

I can't answer that definitively, but I have definitely left mine on for a couple of days at a time. But literally there is only one button, and then a volume dial. It should be simple enough to say "push this button to turn it on".

For anyone wondering, the knob just pulls right off. Just give it nice tug and it comes off. The knob will go right back on when you're done and it works just like you never took it off.

no problem turning mine on. you have to hold the button in until it turns on cant just push it and release same when you shut it off hold button until it turns off

i Manually turn the knob to where off is written. But the light stops glowing after minutes of turning it ON when steralization is done.So i consider that as an indication and manually turn knob back to off. But havent seen it going to off ever like it would in say a dish washer or rice cooker

The knob definitely does come off. Once in the off position, you push in on the knob, and continue to turn another 25 degrees counter-clockwise. It's kind of like a key, though I would imagine with some ingenuity one could get past that. You know, by just bashing the switch apart with a hammer and removing it altogether, lol.

If you're talking about the bottom knob, you have to turn it to your left VERY HARD to the on position. (I couldn't figure it out for the longest time because I was afraid I would break it if I turned it so hard) This way it will stay on till you turn it off (to the right) manually.

Yes. Turning the knob up...over the temp in the room...turns it on. Works very well!
