The Manual Applies to the Following Models:

Herb Butter Maker - HBM01

Base Recipe

1 - Ingredients:

1 -  ½ - 1 Ounce / 7-14 g Botanicals per Cup
2-5 Cups / 475-1180 ml Unsalted Butter (Do Not Use Margarine - It Will Not Work)
2 -  1 Tablespoon / 15 ml Sunflower Lecithin
3 -  Do Not Add Water.

2 - How to Start:

1 - Place the ingredients into your machine, and secure the head.
Press the temperature button, and select 160°F/71°C (or 130°F/55°C if using the machine at high altitude and/or in a dry climate); then press the 2 Hours/Butter button.
2 - After the cycle is complete, unplug the unit at the outlet, and remove the head of the appliance. Put on your accessories, and pour the pitcher contents slowly through your bag into formed molds, ice-cube trays, or other storage containers.

For best results, do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weights according to personal preference.

Sunflower, rice, or soy lecithin is optional but recommended. Lecithin is an emulsifier used in the pharmaceutical industry for binding ingredients and increasing the potency of preparations. Lecithin comes in the form of granules, powder, and liquid; any form is sufficient. It is available at your local health-food or vitamin store. You may find lecithin in capsules, but we do not recommend them, as they contain too many binders and fillers.

Once your botanicals are cooled, you are ready to begin. Place the ingredients into your machine, and follow the appropriate recipe steps.

What Is Car Wash Clean?

Might need a quick rinse and towel dry.

To begin, rinse your machine.
DO NOT SUBMERGE BLACK PLASTIC PARTS.
Fill the pitcher with water halfway between the MIN and MAX lines.
Add a small amount of dish soap, roughly the size of a coin.
WARNING: Do not immerse head, control buttons, or pitcher handle in water. Wash with damp cloth only.

Press the Clean button.
For best results, clean your machine immediately after use.

Q&A:

1 - What Is the Purpose of the LED Lights, and What Do They Tell Me?

Aside from providing ambiance and a colorful, entertaining light show in your kitchen, the integrated LED display encircling the top of your appliance has an important functional purpose: immediately informing the user of the machine's operating status. The lights are strategically positioned to reflect off the ceiling in a dark room during operation. As the device is exceptionally quiet when not blending or stirring, the LED display constantly and silently indicates that the cooking cycle is proceeding. The lights automatically shut off, and the unit beeps to notify you when the cycle is completed.

2 - What Does Each Button Do?

Each button runs a preset, microprocessor-controlled cycle—grinding, heating, extracting, and stirring. To intensify your results, simply extend your extraction time by selecting a longer cycle. The default cycle time is 1 hour for oil, 2 hours for butter, and 4 or 8 hours for tincture. The clean function has a maximum run time of 3 minutes.

3 - How Do I Use the Self-Cleaning Function?

Unplug the electrical cord from the device. Fill the pitcher with water to a level halfway between the MIN and MAX lines. Add a small amount of dish soap, secure the head, plug the electrical cord back in, and press the clean button. After the clean cycle has completed, unplug the electrical cord from the device and rinse the remaining soap out of the interior of the machine.

Note: Do not wet or submerge any black-colored parts of the machine.

Safety Instructions:
