Getting Started
Congratulations on your LEVO II purchase! Ready to feed your infusiasm? Here’s what you need to get started right away, though you will find more information and instruction in the User Manual.
WHAT’S IN YOUR BOX?
THE INTERFACE
Preparing your LEVO II:
- Open the lid by pressing down on it gently to release the latch, then press and hold RELEASE to remove the reservoir and all removable parts.
- Rinse all removable parts with warm, soapy water, then dry and place them back into your LEVO II.
- Reattach the silicone nozzle by holding down the RELEASE button and lowering the reservoir into place, directing the nozzle through the drain opening.
- Set temperature reading to display in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, toggling between them by holding down the temperature’+’ and’-‘ buttons at the same time.
Why DRY?
If you’re cooking with fresh herbs, consider using the DRY cycle before
infusing to remove moisture and increase the shelf life of your final
infusion. If you’re already using dried herbs, you can choose to skip this
step. The DRY setting is for use ONLY with botanicals, and you should never
dry them with oil, butter or any other base already in the reservoir.
Why ACTIVATE?
If you’re cooking with flower and wish to release its psychoactive effects,
you’ll want to “activate” it. If you’d like to minimize the psychoactive
effects of your infusion, skip the ACTIVATE cycle and go straight to INFUSE.
The ACTIVATE setting is for use ONLY with botanicals, and you should never
activate them with oil, butter or any other base already in the reservoir.
Why INFUSE?
Whether you choose to DRY or ACTIVATE your herbs of choice, the INFUSE mode is
where the magic happens, steeping your herbs in water-based,
fat-based or higher-viscosity liquids. Please note infusing solvents (grain
alcohol and ethanol) is not recommended and may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury.
Plug in your LEVO and press & hold the **POWER/START/PAUSE button located
on the front panel to turn on.
Make sure the reservoir and attached nozzle are securely installed inside the
machine. Do NOT add the stirrer inside the reservoir until you are ready to
begin the INFUSE cycle.
IF YOU’RE DRYING OR ACTIVATING FRESH HERBS:*
DO NOT ADD ANY LIQUID TO THE RESERVOIR (YET)! Remove the metal Herb Pod and
place the silicone Pod Protector flat against the bottom of the Herb Pod. Add
your ingredients (do not overpack) and with the silicone Herb Pod cap properly
secured, place the filled Herb Pod back in the reservoir, lining up the
magnetic strip with “PLACE POD HERE” text. Press DRY or ACTIVATE (these two
cycles can happen in sequence, or you can start with ACTIVATE if your herbs
are already dry). Set TIME and TEMP, press START/PAUSE, and let LEVO do the
rest.
ONCE YOU’RE READY TO INFUSE:
Place the silicone stirrer inside the reservoir on the center “bump.” Ensure
that the stirrer is magnetically aligned in the very center of the reservoir.
Add your desired liquid to the reservoir. Add between 5 to 19 fl oz to the
reservoir, being careful not to overfill or spill any over the sides;
ingredients inside Herb Pod should be completely submerged. Close the lid and
select INFUSE. Set TIME and TEMP, press START/PAUSE, and let LEVO do the
rest. For guidance on ideal time and temperature settings, please refer to
the LEVO Calculator at levooil.com/calculator. You can also download the LEVO
app for a time/temp calculator, recipes and remote control of your LEVO.
