Operating Instructions

Decarboxylation Process

Decarboxylation activates the compounds in your herbs, preparing them for infusion.

1. Prepare Herbs: Grind your herbs to a medium consistency. Do not over-grind into a fine powder.
2. Load Device: Place up to 1.5 oz of prepared herbs into the Easy Clean Infusion & Decarb Insert.
3. Secure Lids: Place the Smell Control Lid over the insert, then secure the Locking Lid on top of the main unit.
4. Set Temperature: Plug in the device. Use the "Temp+" and "Temp-" buttons to set the desired decarboxylation temperature (refer to your recipe book for specific recommendations).
5. Set Time: Use the "Time+" and "Time-" buttons to set the desired decarboxylation time.
6. Start: Press the "Start/Stop" button to begin the decarboxylation cycle. The display will show the current temperature and remaining time.
7. Cool Down: Once the cycle is complete, the device will beep and automatically shut off. Allow the device to cool down completely before opening the lid and proceeding to infusion or storage.

Infusion Process

After decarboxylation, you can infuse your activated herbs into a medium.

1. Add Medium: If you have just decarboxylated, ensure the device has cooled slightly. Add your chosen infusion medium (butter, oil, or tincture base) directly into the Easy Clean Infusion & Decarb Insert with the decarboxylated herbs. The device can infuse up to 2 cups of liquid.
2. Secure Lids: Place the Smell Control Lid over the insert, then secure the Locking Lid on top of the main unit.
3. Set Temperature: Use the "Temp+" and "Temp-" buttons to set the desired infusion temperature (refer to your recipe book).
4. Set Time: Use the "Time+" and "Time-" buttons to set the desired infusion time.
5. Start: Press the "Start/Stop" button to begin the infusion cycle.
6. Monitor: The clear lid allows you to observe the infusion process.
7. Strain: Once the cycle is complete and the device beeps, unplug it. Carefully remove the lids. Use the custom strainer and press to separate the infused liquid from the plant material. Pour the infused product into the butter mold or a suitable storage container.
