Setting this coffee maker up for an auto brew cycle might as well be planning a trip to the moon.  Additionally, the warmer will not stay on no matter what the time is set for.  Multiple times I have set it for 2 hours but immediately after brewing, it shuts off.  Your designer for this coffee maker needs to be fired.  Hire someone that has a Six Sigma Blackbelt Certification and make it a lot more simple.  Too many wasted steps.
