How to use our Inherba Essential Oil Extractor 12 liters plus

1. Place the water in the boiler. The water must not exceed a level established by a grate previously settled at the bottom.


2. Place the plants in the distiller avoiding the possible formation of preferential exit tubes for the vapor.


3. Place the top grill and close the lid of the distiller.


4. Fasten the steel tube and the Pyrex glass burette.


5. Turn on the heat source. Operate the cooling system when the temperature reaches 50°C.


6. Upon reaching the temperature of about 100°C, the steam will capture the essence from the plants, due to the difference in specific weight between the water and the oils.


7. After about one hour, check the growth of the oil level in the collecting cylinder.


8. Turn off the heat source when the increase is negligible.


9. Recover the oil extracted through the tap placed in the lower part of the burette. Clean the distiller.
