Image: Visual guide showing the three steps: Decarb (250°F, 1.5 hours), Add Herbs & Butter, and Infuse (160°F, 2 hours).

6.1. Decarboxylation (Decarb)

Decarboxylation is the process of heating herbs to activate their compounds. This step is performed directly in the aluminum chamber.

1. Ensure the silicone cup is removed, and only the aluminum chamber is inside the main unit.
2. Place your desired amount of herbs (up to 1 oz, depending on density) directly into the aluminum chamber. Do not overfill.
3. Securely place the silicone lid and then the locking lid on top of the unit.
4. Press the Power button to turn on the device.
5. Press the Temp button, then use the +$#x20; or -$#x20; buttons to set the desired decarboxylation temperature (e.g., 250°F).
6. Press the Time button, then use the +$#x20; or -$#x20; buttons to set the desired decarboxylation time (e.g., 1.5 hours).
7. The machine will automatically start heating once time and temperature are set. The display will show the current temperature and remaining time.
8. Once the cycle is complete, the machine will beep and display "End". Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before carefully removing the lid and herbs.

6.2. Infusion

Infusion combines your decarboxylated herbs with a carrier (like butter or oil) to create an infused product. This step uses the silicone cup.

1. After decarboxylation, ensure the aluminum chamber is clean and dry. Place the silicone cup inside the aluminum chamber.
2. Add your decarboxylated herbs and your chosen carrier (e.g., butter, oil) into the silicone cup. Ensure the total volume does not exceed the 9oz working capacity.
3. Securely place the silicone lid and then the locking lid on top of the unit.
4. Press the Power button to turn on the device.
5. Press the Temp button, then use the +$#x20; or -$#x20; buttons to set the desired infusion temperature (e.g., 160°F for butter/oil).
6. Press the Time button, then use the +$#x20; or -$#x20; buttons to set the desired infusion time (e.g., 2 hours).
7. The machine will automatically start heating. The display will show the current temperature and remaining time.
8. Once the cycle is complete, the machine will beep and display "End". Unplug the unit and allow it to cool slightly before carefully removing the lid.
9. Carefully remove the silicone cup (use oven mitts if still warm) and pour the infused liquid through the stainless steel funnel into a storage container, straining out the plant material if desired.
