If I'd like to keep my coffee warm for longer than 2 hours, may I turn it back on and use it as a warmer?

No, you are not able to turn the coffee maker's keep warm plate back on after the two hour shut off. If you try to turn the coffee maker back on after it shuts off, it will automatically start to try to brew again.

Recently my coffee pot flashes “clean” when turned on. I have cleaned the carafe, basket, and run it with a water/vinegar cycle, yet this alert persists. How do I reset the pot so that it does not say clean each time it’s turned on?

I would recommend unplugging the coffee maker and letting it sit for about 15 minutes to see if it will reset it. If that does not work, then the issue you describe in your question may be warranty related. I have already taken action by documenting your complaint, and I want to fully resolve this issue to your satisfaction.

How do you set the 2 hour turn off feature?

When the coffee maker finishes the brewing cycle, it will automatically go into the two hour keep warm mode. After two hours, the coffee maker will automatically turn off.

Turn on coffeemaker again and brew remaining cleaning mixture into carafe. Turn off coffeemaker; empty carafe and discard paper filter.
Fill reservoir with cold water to 11-cup line; replace carafe on carafe plate and then turn on coffeemaker for a complete brewing cycle to flush out remaining cleaning mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the vinegar smell/taste.
