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

1.9 Filter Menu
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards
of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning
procedures.
DANGER
Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn
caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are
connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or
valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for disposal.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage
of hot oil.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line
located on the container.
The 3000 has five Filter menu options: Filter, Clean and Filter, Dispose, Fill Vat from Bulk (Bulk option only) and Boil
Out (only in OFF mode). All are accessed by pressing and holding the Filter button until the display becomes Filter Menu. If
fryer is not at set point, controller displays wait for filter. The controller must be on and at setpoint for Filter and Filter and
Clean.

DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will rush out
creating the potential for severe burns.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball
inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.

DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the
end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in
certain shortening material.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint
between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip,
adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.

Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL container for disposal.
When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located on the container.
For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends using the Frymaster Shortening
Disposal Unit (SDU). The SDU is available through your local distributor.

CHAPTER 2: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
FOR 3000 CONTROLLERS
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur
during the operation of your equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help
you correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with your equipment. Although the chapter
covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered. In
such instances, the Frymaster Technical Services staff will make every effort to help you identify
and resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest
solution and working through to the most complex. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear
idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of your corrective action involves taking steps to ensure
that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all
other connections while you’re at it. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Always keep in mind
that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning
of a more important component or system.
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical
Service Department or your local Frymaster Authorized Servicer for assistance.
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):
Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.
Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected.
Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open.
Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.
Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting
you.
DANGER
Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled
with hot cooking oil or to transfer hot cooking oil from one container to another.
DANGER
This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit
tests are required. Use extreme care when performing such tests.
This appliance may have more than one electrical power supply connection point.
Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical components should be performed by an
authorized service agent only.
