6.2 Infusion Process

Infusion extracts the activated compounds into your chosen medium (butter, oil, etc.).

1. After decarboxylation, add your desired infusion medium (e.g., butter, coconut oil) to the canister with the decarboxylated herbs. Ensure the liquid level does not exceed the MAX fill line.
2. Securely place the silicone lid on the canister and close the main unit's lid, ensuring it is properly locked.
3. Press the Infuse button on the control panel. The default temperature and time settings for infusion will appear.
4. Adjust the temperature and time using the Temp +/- and Time +/- buttons if desired. Consult the included cookbook for specific infusion recipes and settings.
5. Press the Start/Stop button to begin the infusion cycle. The machine will maintain the set temperature for the duration.
6. Once the cycle is complete, the machine will beep and automatically shut off. Carefully open the lid and strain the infused butter or oil to separate the plant material.

6.3 One-Click Operation

The machine offers simplified one-click operation for both decarboxylation and infusion using preset optimal settings. Simply press the desired function button (Decarb or Infuse) and then Start/Stop. You can customize time and temperature as needed before starting the cycle.
