HELPFUL HINTS
NOTE: For best results, go through the operating procedures, carefully noting all cautionary points and hints, which are included for your understanding and benefit.
•Make sure the machine is running at full speed before beginning to juice.
•Do not force feed the juicer. For most fruits and vegetables, a slow, steady push down the chute will work best. If the juicer begins to vibrate, a slightly harder push should bring it back into balance.
•There is no need to cut a fruit or vegetable into sections that will fit whole into the feeder chute. If it must be cut, cut only into large pieces that easily fit down the feeder chute.
•When making a drink that uses a combination of more than one fruit or vegetable, we suggest alternating the various fruits or vegetables when placing them in the machine. For example: Carrot Apple Juice – place one or two pieces of carrot in feeder chute, then a piece or two of apple. Keep alternating in this manner.
•When juicing leafy greens, we suggest that you twist and roll the green into a ball the size of a golf ball. Always place the greens into the juicer first, followed by crispier vegetables such as carrots, celery, etc. The juice from these vegetables will force additional juice from the greens.
•When juicing very soft fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, grapes and peaches, we suggest that you do not use the filters! Feed the machine slowly, pausing between placing each fruit or vegetable into the feeder chute. This will allow the juicer additional time to extract juice through the strainer basket. It is also very helpful to alternate with firmer fruits and vegetables. We suggest using seedless grapes and removing the peels from tomatoes and peaches. Due to the softness of these fruits and vegetables, some vibration may occur.
•Allow the Omega Juicer to run for one or two minutes after turning off the Juicer to allow all juice to be extracted from the pulp. Once the juicer is turned off, it is normal for the juicer to continue to spin for a minute or two due to the precision balancing of the Omega Juicer.
•SELECTING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. It is very important that you select fruits and vegetables that are very fresh – firm, crisp and juicy!
•CLEANING THE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Before you begin juicing, thoroughly wash all dirt and sprays from the fruits and vegetables
as many of the valuable food elements are under the surface near the skin. HINT: The only exceptions are cucumbers, pineapples, oranges and grapefruit. These should be peeled.
