Pressure Cooker Valve Positions
Pressure
1. Open the pressure cooker lid by rotating it clockwise until it stops, and then lift the pressure cooker lid.
2. Before using, clean the pressure cooker chamber with a moist cloth or paper towel and wipe the heating
plate to ensure that they are clean. Slightly rotate the pressure cooker chamber to make sure it fits the
heating plate.
3. Close the lid.
• Ensure that the sealing gasket on the pressure cooker is not damaged.
• Place the lid on the pressure cooker, and turn the handle counter clockwise until the lid is closed.
4. Tear off the silver label attached to the pressure release valve to ensure that the valve is able to move
freely.
5. As shown in the figure below, attach the condensation collector to the pressure cooker.
6. When turned on, the pressure cooker will make a beeping sound, the LCD display will light up and the
pressure cooker will enter standby mode.
1. Add approximately 500 to 1000 mL of DI water to the pressure cooker chamber, so that the water
slightly touches the staining dishes.
2. Position the Staining Dish Support inside the pressure cooker chamber.
3. Place slide racks with the slides in the Staining Dishes. Gently fill the Staining Dish with a working con-
centration of the HIER solution. We recommend Bio SB ImmunoDNA Retriever Citrate (BSB 0020 - BSB
0023) or the Bio SB ImmunoDNA Retriever EDTA (BSB 0030 - BSB 0033) or equivalents.
4. Position the Staining Dishes with slides into the Staining Dish Support.
5. Place and secure the lid onto the cooker’s main body. Turn the lid counter clockwise to secure it into
place.
6. Position the pressure limit valve to the “pressure” position.
7.Select and press the preset temperature button on the control panel.
8. Press the Time button on the control panel and use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select the
desired time, which will be indicated on the display.
9. Press Start to begin the pressure cooker cycle.
10. The timer will start counting down only after the unit reaches the preset temperature and pressure.
After the pressure cooking cycle
1. At the end of the cycle, the pressure cooker beeps once before the heating plate turns off.
NOTE: After the heating cycle, do not keep slides in the pressure cooker for an extended
amount of time, as the temperature inside the chamber decreases slowly and this may
affect the performance of your nucleic acid or epitope retrieval procedure.
2. Slowly rotate the pressure valve to the “Pressure Release” position in order to discharge steam and make
sure that the float valve drops. Leave the valve in the “Pressure Release” position until there is no steam
in the pressure cooker chamber.
Cancel
1. When pressure cooker is working or during a set function, press this key to cancel all current settings,
and set the instrument in standby mode.
