TABLE OF CONTENTS

LĒVO is designed for activating and infusing a
range of botanical ingredients, so you can enjoy
their flavor, nutrition, and wellness benefits in
your everyday life. Michelin star chefs and
independent home cooks alike use infusion
techniques to enhance food and experiment
with flavors. 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 simplifies 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 Infüs Lux. Use the LĒVO Time &
Temperature Calculator on our app or website
for recommended infusion settings:
levooil.com/calculator
Please note infusing solvents (grain alcohol and
ethanol) is not recommended and may cause
fire, electric shock, or injury.
INFUSE WITH LĒVO
Refer your friends and they can save 10%. Look
for the postcard included in your box, or visit
our website at levooil.com/pages/refer

When in doubt, infuse at lower temperatures.
This will ensure all the wholesome goodness
(flavors, aromas, nutrition) of your ingredients
remain intact.
The more moisture in the herb, the shorter the
shelf life of your infusion. Consider using the
DRY cycle before infusing to keep your
infusion fresher, for longer (and always store
finished infusions in a cool, dark place).
When it comes to fats in your oil or butter, the
more refined, the higher the smoke point and
more neutral the taste. The less refined, the
smoke point is lower and the taste is more
flavorful. Plus, there is more added “good stuff”
(like healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins).
Refinement is the process of separating different
elements of a substance and distilling or process-
ing 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 finely ground, to prevent unwanted
particles in your infusions and final creations.
Coarse Grind
Moisture is Not Your Friend
Less Refined is Better
RULES FOR THE ROAD
04

Take care to use this setting only
with botanicals and never with oil
or butter in your reservoir.
We recommend drying your
herbs at 115°F/46°C for 3 hours.
DRY WITH LĒVO INFÜS LUX
Working with fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, or
lavender? Consider using the DRY cycle to keep
your infusion fresher, longer.
Drying your herbs before infusing them preserves
flavor and removes moisture, increasing the shelf
life of your final infusion.
05

We recommend activating at
240°F/116°C for 30 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 INFÜS LUX
With certain botanical ingredients,
properties of the plant can be activated
with exposure to higher heat before
infusing. This 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
reservoir), or you'll compromise your
special ingredients.

10. Now you’re ready to dispense your infusion!
When dispensing your infusion, it is important
to select the appropriate dispense mode to
efficiently drain the reservoir and minimize
air bubbles.
Based on your carrier oil, use the guide below to
select the best dispense mode for your infusion:
Dispense Mode 1: For water based liquids like
milk, tea, vinegar
Dispense Mode 2: For fat based liquids like olive
oil, coconut oil, and butters
Dispense Mode 3: For thick/viscous liquids like
honey, syrups, and beeswax
Place your container of choice on the surface
under the dispenser and choose which DISPENSE
MODE is appropriate then press and hold the
DISPENSE button to drain. Allow the infusion to
cool for 5–10 minutes before handling. Use
caution, as it may be hot.

DRY & ACTIVATE
INSTRUCTIONS

17 CONNECTING TO THE
LĒVO MOBILE APP
To get started, download the LĒVO app on
your iOS or Android mobile device.
1. Power your LĒVO Infüs Lux ON and open the
LĒVO app on your mobile device.
2. On the LĒVO app, navigate to the Get
Connected screen by selecting “CONNECT MY
LĒVO” or by clicking on the Oil icon on the
bottom left navigation bar.
3. Once on the “Connect to my LĒVO screen”,
exit the LĒVO app and go into your mobile
device’s WiFi settings.
4. Find the LĒVO’s WiFi network, which will look
like “LEVO_xxxxxx.” Once selected, wait for the
connection to establish and say “No Internet
Connection.” (This is because the LĒVO
machine does not provide an internet
connection, and only has a WiFi signal in order
to configure to your existing home network)
5. Now exit your mobile device’s settings, and
go back in the LĒVO app and click “CONNECT.”
6. Once on the “Connect LĒVO to your Wi-Fi”
screen, find and select your home WiFi
network.

CONNECTING TO THE
LĒVO MOBILE APP
7. On the next screen, it will ask you to enter
the password to your home network. Once
entered, select “CONNECT TO MY LĒVO.”
8. The app will now attempt to configure your
LĒVO Infüs Lux to your WiFi network. Wait while
it completes steps 1 and 2. It can take up to 2
minutes to complete.
9. When the configuration is successful, on the
next screen you will see “Great! We’re now
connected.”
10. Select “LET’S INFUSE” to get started.
TIPS:
1. You must enable location sharing on your
mobile device with the LĒVO app in order to
complete the configuration with your machine.
The LĒVO app will ask if you want to share your
location upon your first attempt to connect, so
if you selected “No” you will need to go into
your settings to re-enable location sharing
before trying again.
2. Your home WiFi network must NOT be 5G
enabled. If your home WiFi network is 5G
enabled, try connecting to a non-5G network
instead before trying again.

Symptom: I can’t connect my App to my
LĒVO Infüs Lux.
If you’re experiencing trouble connecting your
LĒVO Infüs Lux to WiFi via the App, your
LĒVO’s WiFi signal may need to be reset. First,
look at your LĒVO’s screen and check if there’s
a solid WiFi icon, a blinking WiFi icon, or no
WiFi icon. In order to connect your mobile
device, the WiFi icon should not be visible at
all on the screen prior to configuration. Your
mobile device must also be connected to your
home WiFi network before starting. If the WiFi
icon is blinking, follow the reset instructions
below where the symptom is labeled “The WiFi
icon on my LĒVO is visible but I am not con-
nected on my mobile device.”
If the WiFi icon on your LĒVO’s screen is
already invisible and you still can’t connect,
check your home WiFi to be sure it is on and
working. You may need to unplug your WiFi
modem/router and plug it back in when your
internet is temporarily down.
