1.8 Multiple Setpoint (Segmented) Cooking Overview
When the Cooks feature is enabled in the 3000 Version 3, segmented cooking is
possible. That means the product can cook at a variety of cooking temperatures with the
temperature changes occurring at user programmable points in the cook cycle.
When programming for segmented cooking, it is easiest to think of the entire cook cycle occurring on a countdown timer.
The cook cycle begins with its full time allotment, say, 13 minutes and it is completed when the countdown timer reaches
zero. The desired temperature changes are entered based on when they are to occur relative to the remaining cooking time.
The time entries for temperature changes are for the time remaining in the cook cycle, not the time elapsed. The graphic
below breaks down a 13-minute cook cycle. It’s best to create a similar table of time/temperature changes before beginning
the programming process.
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 cumulative time of all cook cycles, and 340°F, initial setpoint.
