Navigation

The M3000 uses

and

buttons to navigate the various menus and submenus.

When programming, the left screen shows the menu or submenu item. The right screen is for data entry. Data is entered with alpha-numeric characters, scrolling through lists or by toggling between choices (see diagrams on previous page).

During programming, if a button is not pushed within one minute, the computer returns to operation mode.

Cook Cycle and Selection Buttons

The 9 and 8 buttons are dual-function buttons shared with the number 1 and 2 buttons. They are located directly below the LED displays (see diagrams on previous page). Use these buttons to select or cancel functions. The 8 button is used to back out of and quit submenus.

Filter, Temperature, and Info Buttons

The < FLTR and FLTR > buttons (see diagram) are used to filter the left and right vats of a split vat fryer on demand, while the right FLTR > button is used to filter a full vat on demand. If pressed once, the FLTR buttons will display the number of cook cycles remaining until a filtration prompt. When a FLTR button is pressed twice, the date and time of the last filter will be displayed.

Temp Button

The TEMP button, if pressed once while the fryer is on, displays current vat temperature on both sides. If the TEMP button is pressed twice while the fryer is on, it shows the setpoint temperatures of the vats. If the fryer is off, the display shows the current versions of software.

Info Button

The INFO button, if pressed once when the fryer is on, shows the recovery time for each vat from the last test. Recovery displays the time required for the fryer to raise the temperature of the oil 50°F (28°C) between 250°F (121°C) and 300°F (149°C). Maximum recovery time should not exceed 1:40 for electric or 2:25 for gas.

If recovery time exceeds these times, the computer will display RECOVERY FAULT. The error can be cleared and alarm silenced by pressing the 9 button. The second consecutive time it will display RECOVERY FAULT CALL SERVICE. The error can be silenced and temporarily cleared by pressing the 9 button. However, each time the fryer is started up and the test performed, the error will continue to appear until code 0042 is entered in tech mode (see page 27).

If the INFO button is pressed and held for three seconds it shows information such as usage, filter statistics and last cook cycles.
