IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
•Read all instructions.
•To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the motor base
in water or other liquid.
•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
•Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.
•Avoid contact with moving parts.
•DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair,
or electrical adjustment.
•The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
•DO NOT use outdoors.
•DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
•Always make sure juicer cover is clamped securely in place before motor is
turned on.
•Be sure to turn switch to off position after each use of your juicer.
•DO NOT put your fingers or other objects into the juicer opening while
it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the opening, use plunger or
another piece of fruit to push it down. When this method is not possible,
turn the motor off and disassemble juicer to remove the remaining food.
•The red button on the bottom of the machine is a thermal protection
device. Should the juicer overheat for any reason this switch will cut off
the electrical current and the machine will stop, thus saving it from
possible damage or fire.To reset, simply push the red button and the
juicer will again function normally.
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.

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 surethe machineis running at full speed before beginningto 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. Forexample: Carrot Apple Juice – place
one or two pieces of carrot infeeder 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 juicingvery 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 willallow 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 usingseedless grapes and removing the peels
from tomatoes and peaches. Due to the softness of these fruits and
vegetables, some vibration mayoccur.
•Allow the Omega Juicer to runfor one or two minutes after turningoff 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.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: For best results, go through the assembly procedures, carefully
noting all cautionary points and hints, which are included for your
understanding and benefit.
STEP 1 Place bowl on motor base housing with spout facing you and
in the middle of the two raised projections.

centering it over hex nut.

CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning is done after the Omega Juicer is turned off and disassembled.
STEP 1 Follow disassembling instructions.
STEP 2 Wash parts with cool or cold water. No detergent required, but
mild detergent may be used if desired. Bowl,plunger,cover and clutch
nut require only light rinsing.
STEP 3 Wash cutter blade under running water. Stiff brush may be
used to loosen any food residue.
STEP 4 If desired, all stainless steel parts may be cleaned in the
dishwasher. Never place top and plunger in dishwasher.
STEP 5 To remove pulp from the strainer basket, simply “scoop” out
by hand or with a spoon.To remove any remaining pulp, rotate the
strainer basket under running water. Any remaining particles inside the
strainer basket can be removed with a damp towel or sponge.
HINT: Before juicing, an Omega Juicer filter liner can be inserted inside
the strainer basket, which greatly facilitates in removal of the pulp.
(The optional filters are available from your local dealer).
STEP 6 Towel dry all parts before assembling again.
STEP 7 After repeated use, mineral stains may begin to appear on the
juicer parts that come in contact with juice. Immerse all removable parts
and completely submerge in water overnight with a solution of eight
tablespoons of Cascade or similar dishwasher detergent per gallon of
water. REMEMBER: Don’t immerse the motor base housing.
STEP 8 Your Omega Juicer never needs lubrication of any kind.
SPECIAL NOTE: Should your Omega Juicer stop running or not start
when you turn the machine on, it is most likely due to the fact that the
electrical overload switch has been tripped. This red button is located
on the bottom of the juicer.Simply push the button to reset the machine
and the machine should now function normally.
