CM4-S Cooking Computer — Overview
1-1
Programming Overview
An example of a 13-minute cook cycle with four cooking temperatures
is detailed in the graphic below.
The cooktime and points at which the temperature will change are
entered in four steps in this example. Cooktimes are arrived at by
subtracting the desired segment time from the remaining cooktime and
entering that number. (See explanation in the graphic.)
♦ Step 1 sets the total cooktime and the 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 cooktime elapse at the final
temperature. No entry is required to use the final minutes.
The S in the CM4-
S computer stands
for segment, a
feature that allows
a cooking cycle to
be broken into a
number of parts,
each with its own
cooking
temperature.
The graphic at
right details an
example of this
process. Explicit,
step-by-step
instructions are
provided in
subsequent
chapters.
Enter 13:00, the combined time of all cook cycles, and 340°F,

No entry is required
for the final 4 minutes
of the cooktime.The
computer simply
counts downs the
remaining minutes at
the final setpoint,
which was
established in step 4.
