1.9 Multi-Setpoint (Segmented)
1.9.1 Cooking Programming Overview
The K3000 is capable of segmented cooking, a feature which allows a cooking cycle to be broken into a
number of parts, each with its own cooking temperature and time.
An abbreviated version of the programming for a 13-minute cook cycle with four cooking
temperatures is shown below. Steps are compressed for clarity. The cook times represent when on
the timeline of the total cook cycle the segment occurs. In this example, the first temperature
change occurs with 11 minutes remaining in the total cook time; 11 is entered at the prompt for the
second cook time. Two minutes into the total cook cycle, the temperature will change;11 minutes
will remain. Cook times for the remaining segments are arrived at by subtracting the segment length
from the remaining cook time. The complete programming steps are shown on pages 15 and 16.
•
Step 1 sets total cook time and initial setpoint.
•
Step 2 sets the duration of the first cooking segment, 2 minutes, and the setpoint of the first
temperature change.
•
Step 3 sets the duration of the second cooking segment, 4 minutes, and the setpoint of the
second temperature change.
•
Step 4 sets the duration of the third cooking segment, 3 minutes, and the setpoint of the third
temperature change.
The four remaining minutes in the cook time elapse at the final temperature. No entry is required to
use the final minutes
Enter 13:00, the combined time of all cook cycles, and 340°F (171°C),
initial setpoint.
