USER MANUAL

Welcome
Welcome to the Taste of Infusion, Uplifted. LĒVO C takes the
process of infusion and opens it up to the curious infüsiast
inside you. No matter your herb of choice, with Infüs C we’ve
reimagined the process by oering a window into the world
of potent, large-batch infused creations. LĒVO streamlines
and automates the traditional method of infusion to make it
easy, intelligent and mess-free.
All you need to get started are a few basic concepts and then
it’s time for your imagination to take over. The possibilities
are endless: delicious delights, gourmet gifts, stress-relieving
salves, sleep-inducing tonics, and more. Keep health and
mindfulness top of mind by controlling the purity and
potency of what goes in – and on – your body, all the way
down to the last drop.
Whether you’ve been doing it for a long time, or if your next
infusion is your rst, rest assured your LĒVO C makes infusion
as easy, smooth and visible as it’s ever been. We can’t wait to
see what you’ll make! In fact,
we’d love it if you’d share your herbal creations on
social media using the hashtag #LEVOmade.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us
via the customer service chat on our website, LEVOoil.com,
or at [e-mail]
You’ve got to C it to believe it. Feed your infüsiasm and enjoy.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Table of Contents

LĒVO is designed for activating and infusing a range
of botanical ingredients, so you can enjoy their avor,
nutrition, and wellness benets in your everyday life.
Michelin star chefs and independent home cooks
alike use infusion techniques to enhance food and
experiment with avors. 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 simplies 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
Infuse with LĒVO
Please note infusing solvents
(grain alcohol and ethanol) is not
recommended and may cause
fire, electric shock, or injury.
03

When in doubt, infuse at lower temperatures.
This will ensure all the wholesome goodness
(avors, aromas, nutrition) of your ingredients
remains intact.
When it comes to fats in your oil or butter, the
more rened, the higher the smoke point and
more neutral the taste. The less rened, the
smoke point is lower and the taste is more
avorful. Plus, there is more added “good stu”
(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.
Example: White flour is refined, whole
wheat flour is unrefined.
Low & Slow
We recommend coarsely ground herbs, as
opposed to nely ground, to prevent unwanted
particles in your infusions and nal creations.
Coarse Grind
Less Refined is Better

6. Press the INFUSE button to start your infusion. If
you plan to ACTIVATE before infusing, do that rst
(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,

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.
10. Remove the basin, take o 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.
11. Clean your LĒVO C after each use. All removable
items are dishwasher safe.
12. Your LĒVO C will enter standby mode after
ACTIVATE or INFUSE cycle is complete or after 10
minutes of inactivity.
Routine Infusion Instructions

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

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 lled 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.

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 o 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.

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.
Troubleshooting
Symptom: My LĒVO C doesn’t turn on.
Symptom: The basin was accidentally
overfilled and liquid seeped under the basin.
Symptom: I smell burned butter or oil.
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 dierent outlet that you're sure works. Ensure the
rocker switch is in the ON position.
No worries. LĒVO C’s heating mechanism and electronics are
protected. Immediately power o 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.
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
