1.7 Prompts Encountered While Programming
The K3000 can be programmed for single-segmented cooking, which is used for most products and segmented cooking,
which is used for bone-in chicken. When programming for either product, the time prompts encountered are sequentially
numbered. For non-segmented products, enter 0:00 for the second time prompt (2 Time) and the additional programming
steps associated with segmented programming don’t appear.
For segmented products, the process is longer. As many as 10 segments can be introduced during the cook cycle of one
product. The complete cook cycle can be thought of as a timeline, with temperatures changes introduced at time-specific
points on the timeline.
As Time 2, Time 3, Time 4 appear in the programming steps, the time entered is
NOT
the duration of the specific cycle,
but the point a temperature change occurs on the timeline. For example, a Time 2 change that is to change a temperature
in a 13 minute cycle after 2 minutes is entered as 11. The first temperature change will occur with 11 minutes remaining
on the time line.
See graphic on page 1-12.
Below is a explanation of the prompts presented in the sequence they occur. Programming is detailed on pages 1-12
thorough 1-15.

COOKING MODE
SINGLE SETPOINT
Segmented:
If multiple setpoint or segmented cooking is desired press
MULTIPLE SETPOINT and go to 1.9 and follow the instructions.
Non-Segmented:
Leave at default of SINGLE SETPOINT.
1 Time
0:00 or Previously
entered #
In segmented and non-segmented programming, the total cook time is entered
here.
1 Tempr
Temperature
This is the setpoint for non-segmented products; the initial setpoint for
segmented products.
1 Flex
number
Flex is the feature in the Controller that allows the fryer to react to large and
small loads with the same cooking curve. It is generally not used with bone-in
chicken. The default value is 5. The range is 0-9.
1 PRESSURE
SOLENOID
OPEN
This option is only present on pressure fryers. During cooks it determines if the
pressure solenoid should be open or closed. For segmented or multi-setpoint
cooking it may be closed and open during different cycles during the cook.
2 Time
Time
Segmented:
Enter time remaining in the cook cycle after the first temperature
change occurs.
Non-Segmented:
Enter 0:00
2 Tempr
Temperature
Segmented:
This is the first temperature change, which occurs at the point
entered at the 2 Time prompt.
Non-Segmented:
Doesn’t appear
2 Flex
On or Off
See 1 Flex.
2 PRESSURE
SOLENOID
OPEN
See 1 Pressure Solenoid.
3 Time
Time
Segmented:
Enter time remaining in the cook cycle after the second temperature
change occurs.
Non-Segmented:
Doesn’t appear.
3 Tempr
Temperature
Segmented:
This is the second temperature change, which occurs at the point
entered at the 3 Time prompt.
Non-Segmented:
Doesn’t appear
3 Flex
On or OFF
See 1 Flex.
