1.7 Prompts Encountered While Programming
The F3000 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 1-11 thorough
1-14.

1.9 Multi-Setpoint (Segmented)
1.9.1 Cooking Programming Overview
The F3000 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 14 and 15.
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

1.9.2 Alarm Programming Overview
Alarms are set to remind operators to shake fry baskets or tend to the product in some other way at points
during the cook cycle. The instructions below detail setting three alarms in a 13-minute cook cycle. To
enter a single alarm, exit the sequence after setting the first alarm.
2:00

11:00
6:00
Three alarms can be programmed for a cook cycle. The K3000 counts down cook times from
the total time to zero. Alarms are entered at the point in the countdown they are desired. The
example below is for alarms at 11:00, 6:00 and 2:00 on the countdown clock; the alarms will
occur two, seven and 11 minutes into the 13-minute cook cycle.
At the Alarm 1
prompt, enter
11:00. The alarm
will occur with 11
minutes remaining
in the cook cycle;
two minutes have
passed.
At the Alarm 2 prompt,
enter 6:00, The alarm will
occur with 6:00 remaining
in the cook cycle; seven
minutes have passed. At the Alarm 3
prompt, enter 2:00.
The alarm will
occur with 2:00
remaining in the
cook cycle; 11
minutes have
passed.
