We value your continued support of our product and we are glad to assist you with your inquiry. To set the brew later feature, follow the steps below: &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;To Set the Clock:&#13;&#10;1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The clock will flash on the control panel to indicate that the time has not been set yet.&#13;&#10;2. Press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time. The AM or PM indicator is at the left of the display. The clock is now set!&#13;&#10;NOTE: Pressing any button before setting the clock will cause the clock to start keeping time from 12:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;1. Prepare your coffeemaker as described in the &amp;ldquo;Adding Water and Ground Coffee&amp;rdquo; section of the user manual.&#13;&#10;2. To activate Delay Brew and program your coffeemaker to brew coffee at a later time, press the select/off button twice. The yellow Delay Brew light will turn on. The coffeemaker is now set to automatically brew coffee at the pre-set later time. At this time the brew strength light will turn on. You can select the strength that you desire by pressing the brew strength button.&#13;&#10;3. At the pre-set time, the green brew now light will turn on and the Delay Brew yellow light will turn off, indicating the brewing has started in the selected brew strength. The Fresh Brew&amp;trade; Timer feature will start.&#13;&#10;4. The coffeemaker warmer plate will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then automatically turn off. Thermal models will turn off at the end of the brew cycle.&#13;&#10;NOTE: Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during brewing cycles.&#13;&#10;As a safety feature, your coffeemaker will not start again automatically the next day. If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply add a new filter, coffee, and water and set Delay Brew, by repeating Steps 2 and 3 above.&#13;&#10;To cancel Delay Brew: Press the select/off button until all lights turn off.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We hope this helps.

We appreciate your interest with our product and we&#39;re happy to assist you with your inquiry what is the purpose of the water filtration disk and frame of your coffee maker.

The red indicator to the letter on the water filtration frame that corresponds with the month that you are using the disk for the first time.
