How do I set my coffee maker's timer?

I have a Black & Decker Home 5-cup with a deceivingly simple design. "On" button makes it brew. "Hour" and "Minute" buttons set the clock, and after hitting "Program," they're also used to set the time you want coffee to brew automatically. I've tried every combination of sequences in regard to steps, left it on, left it off, etc., and it won't brew at the time I set. I also can't just leave it on after a cup and pour the next batch of water in for the morning, because it will automatically start brewing.

Even if you just have any Black & Decker coffee maker with a timer, I'd really like a step-by-step on this; explain it to me like I'm 5, because I want that coffee brewing before I climb out of bed.

Update:

@Greedo Killer: This may sound silly, but this is without hitting "On," right? I've been both turning it on and leaving it off.

But yes, maybe the problem is that I'm not holding it down; the green light was turning off on its own, though, but I'll try it out.

Update 2:

P.S. Ah, okay. Reading the manual. Thanks. (I'm only worried something may still be wrong, because it says to hit that button to display what time you set it for, and it always displays the time I set.)

    1. Press the AUTO/PROG button and the green light above starts flashing.

    2. Quickly press the HOUR then the minute buttons to select the time you’d like the automatic brewing to begin

    3. Press the AUTO/PROG button again holding it down for several seconds until the AUTO/PROGlight stops flashing.

    DONE.

    Don't hit any other buttons after that or it will cancel.
