Infuse with LĒVO

LĒVO is designed for activating and infusing a range of botanical ingredients, so you can enjoy their flavor, nutrition, and wellness benefits in your everyday life. Michelin star chefs and independent home cooks alike use infusion techniques to enhance food and experiment with flavors. Skincare, beauty, and other wellness brands also use infusion to incorporate healing herbs into your routine. Unfortunately, most of these infused products are mass produced and can be overly processed.
LĒVO simplifies home infusion, so it’s easy to incorporate fresh or dried herbs, fruits, seeds, and more into virtually any recipe you’d like (without preservatives, solvents, or additives).
First, some rules of the road for your LĒVO C.
Use the LĒVO Time & Temperature Calculator on our website for recommended infusion settings: levooil.com/calculator

Please note infusing solvents
(grain alcohol and ethanol) is not recommended and may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

Rules for the Road Low & Slow
When in doubt, infuse at lower temperatures. This will ensure all the wholesome goodness (flavors, aromas, nutrition) of your ingredients remains intact.

Coarse Grind
We recommend coarsely ground herbs, as opposed to finely ground, to prevent unwanted particles in your infusions and final creations.

Less Refined is Better
When it comes to fats in your oil or butter, the more refined, the higher the smoke point and more neutral the taste. The less refined, the smoke point is lower and the taste is more flavorful. Plus, there is more added “good stuff” (like healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins).

Refinement is the process of separating different elements of a substance and distilling or processing it, so it no longer contains all of its original ingredients.
Examlevooil.com/calculatorple: White flour is refined, whole wheat flour is unrefined.

Getting Started

1. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Flip the power button on (located on the left hand side of the base). Moving forward just tap any button to wake your LĒVO C.
3. Rinse all removable parts with warm, soapy water and dry before placing back into your LĒVO C (see full cleaning instructions later in this guide).
4. Place the silicone stirrer in the center cavity inside the basin.
5. Suspend the Herb Pod inside the basin away from the lip of the basin. Place the lid on the basin ensuring the cutout on the lid is aligned with where you have suspended the Herb Pod.
6. Press ACTIVATE or INFUSE.
7. To toggle between Celsius & Fahrenheit, hold the temperature + and – buttons for two seconds.

User Interface

Routine Infusion Instructions

1. The LĒVO C should be set on a flat surface and stay put for the remainder of the process.

2. Remove the glass basin from the machine base by carefully lifting it off the heat plate; then remove the basin’s lid by gently lifting upwards.

3. Place the silicone stirrer in the center cavity inside the basin (paddle side up).

4. Remove your Herb Pod from the basin and add your ingredients. Make sure not to pack it too tightly, so that liquid can freely flow in and out. With the silicone cap securely on, hang your packed Herb Pod on the glass basin away from the basin lip. Place the lid on the basin ensuring the cutout on the lid is aligned with where you have suspended the Herb Pod.

5. Add up to 33 oz (1 L) of liquid to the basin, or fill the basin until your herbs are fully submerged, careful not to overfill! (Ensure the liquid reaches the minimum
   fill line.)
   WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

6. Press the INFUSE button to start your infusion. If you plan to ACTIVATE before infusing, do that first (see instructions later in this guide). LĒVO will automatically suggest a default time and temperature for the INFUSE cycle. You can adjust the time (up to 10 hours) and temperature (up to 200°F/93°C) settings, as needed, by pressing the + and – buttons. Once you’re happy with your settings, press START.Use our handy Time & Temperature Calculator on our website for recommendations on suggested infusion settings: levooil.com/calculator
   Removing the Basin from the machine base will automatically pause the cycle. The cycle will resume once the basin is put back in place and START is pressed.
   Warming Up
   Note that the time it takes LĒVO C to reach your set temperature can vary depending on factors like altitude, your cycle settings, and the type of ingredients you’re using. Allow a range of approximately 15-30 minutes to reach your set cycle temperature.

7. Your LĒVO C will display WARMING UP as it preheats to your desired temperature, then begin the selected cycle once the preset temperature has been reached. During the cycle, the display will switch between showing the cycle and the REMAINING TIME and CURRENT TEMPERATURE

8. Your LĒVO C will display COMPLETE when the timer is up and your infusion is complete. Note that you can change time and temperature or manually end your cycle at any time. To manually end the cycle press pause followed by ACTIVATE or INFUSE.

9. Now you’re ready to pour or store your infusion. Allow the infusion to cool before handling.
   Remove the basin, take off the silicone lid, and carefully pour your infusion into a container of your choice. Or, simply keep your infusion fresh in the LĒVO C basin.

10. Clean your LĒVO C after each use. All removable items are dishwasher safe.Your LĒVO C will enter standby mode after ACTIVATE or INFUSE cycle is complete or after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Activate with LĒVO
With certain botanicals, properties of the plant can be activated with exposure to higher heat before infusing. This process changes the molecular structure and elevates natural potency.
Take care to use this setting with botanicals only (and never with oil or butter in your basin), or you’ll compromise your special ingredients.

Science rules!
This process transforms the construction of the molecule. Knowing this, you can control the potency of your infusions or create different effects using the ACTIVATE cycle.
Check online for more information on botanical activation.

Use our preset activate mode— 240°F/116°C for 45 minutes.

Activate Instructions

1. Flip on the power switch or tap any button to wake your LĒVO C.

2. Remove the glass basin from the machine base by carefully lifting it off the heat plate; then remove the basin’s lid by gently lifting upwards.

3. Remove your Herb Pod and add your ingredients. Take care to not pack too tightly. With the silicone cap securely in place, hang your filled Herb Pod on the glass basin away from the basin lip. Place the lid on the basin ensuring the cutout on the lid is aligned with where you have suspended the Herb Pod.

4. Press ACTIVATE to select the Activate cycle.
   Note: LĒVO C will automatically display the default time and temperature for ACTIVATE. (240°F/116°C for 45 minutes). These default settings cannot be further customized, however the cycle can be stopped early or repeated again for desired results. We recommend running the ACTIVATE cycle once for a half- full pod and twice for a full pod. Stir around & redistribute the herb between cycles to ensure even cooking.

5. Press START.
   ****The Silicone Stirrer is not needed for Activate cycles—we recommend removing it and adding back before you infuse.

6. Removing the Basin from the machine base will automatically pause the cycle. The cycle will resume once the basin is put back in place and START is pressed.

7. Your LĒVO C will display WARMING UP as it preheats to the programmed temperature and then begin the selected cycle when the preset temperature has been reached. During the cycle, the display will show REMAINING TIME and CURRENT TEMPERATURE.

8. Your LĒVO C will display COMPLETE when the timer is up and your activation is complete. To manually end the cycle press pause followed by ACTIVATE or INFUSE.

9. Having activated your botanical ingredients, now is a great time to infuse. Check out INFUSION INSTRUCTIONS, above.

Take careful precaution to only use the ACTIVATE cycle for treating your botanicals – free of any oil, butter or liquids.

Cleaning & Storage

1. Unplug your machine and allow it to cool completely. Empty out any remaining liquid inside the basin and herbs inside the Herb Pod.
2. Separate the removable part components from the machine, which includes the glass basin, silicone lid, silicone stirrer, Herb Pod and Herb Pod cap.
3. Place the removable part components in your dishwasher to be cleaned, or they can be hand washed.
4. Use a soft cloth and diluted vinegar or mild cleaning solution to wipe down the LĒVO C machine base, taking care to clean off any excess liquid that may have spilled on the heat plate. HAND WASH ONLY. Do not put the LĒVO C machine base in the dishwasher.

Helpful Tips
With its streamlined design, small footprint and transparent glass chamber, LĒVO C looks great on your countertop, but can also be stored easily and doubles as a great storage solution for larger batches of herb-infused oils, butters, honeys and more. Before storing for an extended period, be sure that the basin is freshly clean and dry, and the silicone lid is secured on top with the cap. If dust collects on the surface, wipe away with diluted vinegar.

Troubleshooting

If you have any issues with your machine, check to see whether these troubleshooting instructions solve the issue. If the problem persists, contact us via our website for customer support.

• Symptom: My LĒVO C doesn’t turn on.
  Ensure that the power cord is plugged into a wall outlet. In some cases, a household circuit may become overloaded from the use of electrical appliances, causing the outlet to stop supplying power. Try a different outlet that you’re sure works. Ensure the rocker switch is in the ON position.

• Symptom: The basin was accidentally
  overfilled and liquid seeped under the basin.
  No worries. LĒVO C’s heating mechanism and electronics are protected. Immediately power off and unplug the device. Remove the basin. Use diluted vinegar to wipe away liquid from the inside of the device and run the basin (plus stirrer) through a normal cleaning cycle in your dishwasher before putting back in place. Don’t be alarmed if a small amount of residue causes a mild burning smell the next time the unit is used.

• Symptom: I smell burned butter or oil.
  It’s likely that you spilled some liquid onto the heat plate. This requires additional clean up below the basin. Remove the basin. Taking care to wait until unit is cooled, wipe the heat plate with diluted vinegar and allow to dry completely before replacing your basin.

Frequently Asked Questions

• My selected LĒVO C cycle will not start.
  Check that the basin is properly seated on the heat plate. Wipe down the interior of the base arch to clean the sensors.

• I cannot adjust the time and temperature on the ACTIVATE cycle.
  The ACTIVATE cycle cannot be adjusted. If you would like to activate your botanicals for a longer period of time, we recommend running the activate cycle again. Cycles can be canceled mid-way through by tapping pause, then tapping ACTIVATE or INFUSE.

• I selected and started the wrong cycle.
  Cycles can be canceled mid-way through by tapping pause, then tapping ACTIVATE or INFUSE.

Frequently Asked Questions

• My lid does not fit on the basin with the Herb Pod.
  Ensure that your lid is oriented so that the cutouts on the bottom align with where you have positioned the Herb Pod on the glass basin.

• The red light is still on even though I finished my activation and infusion.
  The red LED light will stay illuminated as long as the heat plate is hot. Be careful not to touch the heat plate while the light is on.
