• Prepare the reaction component(s). Place the vessel in the instrument and secure the pressure sensor into position.
• Ensure that the method to be performed is loaded and displayed on the main menu.
• Press the “Start” key to begin the method.
• The instrument will count down the programmed time for stage #1 of the reaction.
• If pressure exceeds 300 psi during the reaction, the cooling gas turns on and the reaction is terminated.
• During the reaction, the keys on the left side of the instrument (“hot” keys) may be pressed to change the parameters – power, temperature, time, pressure and cooling.
• At the end of the reaction, the cool down time begins.
• At the end of the cool down time, the instrument will produce several audible beeps and return to the Main Menu.
• To perform additional reaction(s) using the same method, press the “Start” key.
