Accessing the Clock Set Mode

On the Crux coffee maker, the clock set button is labeled “Program”. To enter clock set mode:

• Press and hold the Program button. The colon in the time display will start flashing, indicating you’ve entered clock set mode.
• Keep holding the button until the clock digits begin flashing. Once they’re flashing, you can release the Program button.
• The flashing digits indicate you can now start setting the time.

Setting the Hour

With the clock digits flashing, follow these steps:

• Use the up or down arrow buttons on the coffee maker to adjust the hour. Holding the buttons down will scroll faster.
• Set the display to the current hour in 24-hour format. For example, 1:00 pm would be 13.
• Press the Program button again once you have set the correct hour. This will stop the hour from flashing.

Setting the Minutes

After programming the hour, the minutes will begin flashing:

• Use the arrow buttons again to set the minutes to the current time.
• Press Program once more when the minutes are correct. The digits will stop flashing.
• One final press of the Program button will exit clock set mode.

The time is now set! The clock will continue keeping time even when the coffee maker is unplugged.

Tips for Accurate Time

Setting the clock accurately is important for ensuring your coffee brews on schedule. Keep these tips in mind:

• Verify the time on your cell phone, oven, or cable box to confirm the exact minutes before setting.
• If you hold down the arrow buttons, the minutes can scroll quickly, making it easy to get off by a couple minutes. Press and release to move one minute at a time.
• The clock does not automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time. You’ll need to reset it twice a year.
• Reset the time after any extended power outages to ensure it remains accurate.

Setting the Program Brew Time

Once you’ve got the clock set correctly, you can program the Crux to start brewing automatically at a specific time:

• Press and hold Program until the clock digits flash again.
• Use the arrows to set your desired brew start time. For example, to start brewing at 7:30 am, you would set it for 7:30.
• Press Program twice more to save the auto brew time.
• Make sure the coffee maker has water and grounds ready before the programmed time.
• It will now start brewing every day at your set time.
