How to use our essential oil extractor Spring
Place the water in the boiler. The water must not exceed a level established by the bottom grid previously settled at the bottom.
Place the plants in the distiller avoiding the possible formation of preferential exit ways for steam.
Place the top grill and close the lid of the distiller.
Fasten the connection pipe of steam and the '5 bubbles' glass burette.
Turn on the heat source. Operate the cooling system (gas, electric or induction stove) when the temperature on top lid termometer reaches 50°C.
Upon reaching the temperature of about 100°C, the steam will capture the essence from the plants, and the nit wil be separated due to the difference in specific weight between the water and the oils.
After about one hour, check the growth of the oil level in the collecting cylinder.
Turn off the heat source when the increase is negligible.
Recover the oil extracted through the separating funnel (accessory not included) and clean the distiller.
