I am sorry, I never used the auto timer. I cannot help you... but I will tell you this. the Hamilton Beach #48464 is a much better machine for coffee. it perks hotter and the system for putting water in is a thousand percent better. While I started out with the 47900.... the #48464 is a much, much, much better machine.

First step is to set the clock to the proper time of day (make sure am/pm is correct). With left thumb, press and hold "Program" button. When the clock starts flashing, set the desired start time for brewing using your right hand and the hour and minute buttons. Release programming button. To activate auto start, press program button once, green light will display. When auto time arrives, green light will go out, blue light (right) will illuminate, and coffee maker will start.

We have never set the timer because we are retired and do not need it so I cannot help you but we do love the brewstation, Sorry.

Just be patient. It is the old "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". I followed each direction and was able to set the time and timer. I use the timer all the time. Good luck. Barb

Without power the timer doesn't work. You would have to reset it like a clock.

I have programmed it, which is easy to do but have not used it yet. It has a lot of nice features, which a lot of the inexpensive timers don't have, and if it holds up should work well. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

Not automatically. Once you have stopped the timer, push 'clear' and the button for the timer you are using and it will reset to the original timing you entered. I imagine it would take a much more expensive unit to do as you describe.

Me too. Still haven't got it set up correctly. Power to the digital array is working but the switch and timer do not. Sorry

I just followed the instructions in the manual. I have my timer set at 9 seconds and it begins to countdown as soon I pull the handle down.

I sent two back because I could not get the "set" button to set. Then I used a pen as answered here and it worked. The instructions ought to inlcude this info. Thank heavens we have friends out there to help. Thanks!

No timer that you can set yourself. There is an auto shut off after it runs through its cycle.

Per the diagram, auto is used to activate the time when you have completed programming. I really don't remember if I used it or not, but my timer is working OK. I would do as the diagram says just in case it is needed.

When you use the timer it turns off automatically. You probably used the "on" position not the timer.

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

I cannot find the instruction manual, but I think you hold down the auto button until it blinks, then program hour and minute and am or pm good luck

There's no auto-timer, so you can't set it for a certain number of cook time hours; you have to be physically present to turn it between settings.

This was a great gift but setting the timer did not seem very intuitive. Unfortunately, the clock was a gift for someone and I don't have access to it to refresh my memory... but I do remember I tried many things and was about to give up... then found directions after an internet search. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

I gave up on the Atomic clock a long time ago. I set it manually, which is also a challenge. It is a very difficult product to program.

you connect the 2 timer in series or parallel? (if series the timer front and back in the circuit may cause the on off problem)You are saying the timer can not switch to auto and the manual function also not working? Had you check your supply at the timer terminal is it connected correctly?The timer activation time "on" and "off" is set correctly?Do you set it to be turn on and off on specify day or everyday (need set and select day/days)

Hi, we have not had any issues with our timer. Best of luck getting it working correctly.
