1.7 Multiple Setpoint (Segmented) Cooking Overview
The 3000 is capable of multiple setpoint (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 10 and 11.
 Step 1sets 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
