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

Hi, it is really easy.If you push hard you will be able to turn on and off, I you just touch softly the green button you will be able to change.It is a really good article you bought. i been using it for 3 months already.

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.

No auto-shut off, or any shut-off. No on/off button at all. You must plug it in to start it and unplug it to stop it. I think this is a design flaw, if you ask me, but I've gotten used to it because I otherwise like how easily this machine works and how easy it is to clean.

My does not make a sound. I am not sure if you can turn one on. This is by far one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I use it with a Bodum french press and grinder for coffee. My wife uses it for teas. The temperature setting is accurate. I use my several times a day and is very reliable. It also has a hold feature that keeps the desired water temperature. Good luck.

It has a "vacation" switch which will turn the heating element off. There is no problem with occasional use, if you know how to operate the machine. If stored for a long period, invert into sink and let water drain out (unplugged of course). When ready to use, add water until it comes out into the pot. Dump pot, replace pot, plug in, turn on, and wait about 7 minutes for the resevoir to come up to temp ( you will hear a low "roaring" noise/rumble" as it finishes heating... Then make your coffee from there. if you are just using it for weekends, you can leave the water in and on, but ensure the lid to the water pour in resevoir is up to seal the heating resevoir (minimizes evaporation). When ready to use, pour in about 12 ozs of water into the machine and allow to cycle thru the system. This ensures you will get a full pot out, when you put a full pot in. Then, allow to come up to temp.....should be much faster since heating only small amount back up. Make coffee per normal ops. Now you see why the "not good for occasional use" comment was made. Extra work, and knowledge of how/why the system works. I love it, recommend it, and think it makes an excellent cup of coffee.

Do you mean is it a chain or a knob to turn it one? If that's the case it has a knob that requires a double click

You have two options for turning on the light manually. You can hit the "on" button on the upper right hand corner (there's also an "off" button below it). This does not impact the programming. And I've had people not familiar with the item turn on the light with no issue. The other way is to open up the cover and push aside the mechanism that flips the light switch. This doesn't impact the programming either but with the light switch not engaged with the mechanism, the light won't turn on or off automatically. Hope this helps!

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".

If you have switched off the power source, it takes about 10 minutes to come up to temperature. Then you can add your "new" water and it will make coffee immediately. I only turn off the power source if I am going to be away for a few days. BTW, I wouldn't have any other coffee pot! Absolutely love it for my home use and have purchased one for an office setting and it is just the best there as well.

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

The range of temperatures, went from zero to 450, as i recall. However, that was when you could get the darn thing to actually turn on. Push the on button, nine out of ten times, it would finally come on. Once I got the browning done, and set it for it's cooking level, I would leave to go work in my home office, come back to the kitchen to find it had turned itself off...without using the timer. Bottom line, the last time I found a pot full of uncooked stew, I trashed it.

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.

Twist knob. one of ours is set to turn on when the switch plate on the wall is flipped on. It's such a great lamp, we bought two of them.

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.

How sensitive is the knob for temp control? I need a burner that I can 'dial in'. I have another brand and even the simplest adjustments change the flame/burner too high or too low.

It has a numbered dial, not an on off switch. You plug it in, close the lid, turn the dial and wait for the indicator light to turn off when ready. To turn of, turn the dial all the way down, unplug and open lid. Super easy to use, easy to clean. We love this waffle maker.
