. Feed wheat grass into your juicer using
q u a rt e r - s i ze bunches in quick succession. Avoid feeding large bunches at
one time. Wheat grass may also be rolled inside pieces of other larger leafy
vegetables and then fed into your juicer. Feed leafy vegetables upside dow n
in fashion for better results. Some leaves (collards, cabbage, lettuce, turnip
g reens, etc.) may be rolled first. H I N T: A piece of lemon, lime or celery inter-
spersed with the wheat grass and/or other leafy vegetable may improve the taste
of the green juices.

. Cut soft fruits and
vegetables into smaller pieces before juicing. Ha rd fibrous root vegetables can
also be juiced when cut into narrow strips (about 1/4 inch wide) before
entering the Omega Ju i c e r. Your Omega Juicer easily juices celery and other
stem vegetables. It is not necessary to re m ove the celery strings or to cut
into sections. The various fruits and vegetables can be fed into your juicer
alternately to achieve a mixture of flavors. N OTE: In i t i a l l y, a small amount of
juice will come out of the outlet hole of the juicer. This will happen until the outlet
hole fills up with the pulp. Once filled, the pulp and juice can be re i n s e rted into the
j u i c e r to get the maximum amount of juice. The gears may be adjusted for larger
objects. The knob on the front of the machine adjusts the gap of the Twin Ge a r s .
When tightened, the gears run parallel to each other. When loosened, the gears have
a slight gap to allow larger pieces to be drawn into the gears.
STEP 5
Pour the juice in the juice cup into other containers for immediate
consumption or short term storage. H I N T: Although it is ideal to drink the
juices immediately, many times it is more practical to put some of the juice aside
for consumption four to eight hours later. This can still be ve ry beneficial. T h i s
s t o red juice should be put into small containers with a little lemon or lime juice
or vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) added and with minimal air space, tightly
sealed, and cooled quickly. Juices can be fro zen for longer stora g e .

For best results, go through the operating pro c e d u res, carefully noting
all cautionary points and hints, which are included for your understanding
and benefit.
C AU T I O N
•
Your Omega Juicer may only be operated when fully assembled.
•
Ne ver insert your fingers or any other objects into the feed chute except for
the plunger and any materials that you are juicing.
•
Do not let long hair, loose clothing, or any other objects dangle over or into
the feed hole.
•
Do n’t put any foreign objects into the feed hole.
•
Do not place any of the plastic parts in ve ry hot water or in the dishwasher.
•
Make sure you completely understand all instructions before using your
Omega Ju i c e r.
•
Become familiar with the power and control panel.
•
Make sure the pulp container and the residue cup are in place.
STEP 1
C L E A N I N G .
Be f o re using your Omega Juicer initially, you should
first clean all juicing parts in detergent and water. Avoid putting plastic part s
into ve ry hot water. It is also helpful to “friction clean” the juicer, by feeding
two or more cups of vegetable and/or fruit scraps into your juicer. T h e n
d i s c a rd the scraps, disassemble and clean the juicer before reassembling and
using it.
STEP 2
P OW E R .
To operate your Omega Ju i c e r, push the power button
on the control panel once to turn the unit on. You will see a blinking red light
indicating that the power is on. Now push the forw a rd button (FWD) and the
red light will turn off as the gears start to rotate. Push the re verse button
( R EV) and the gears will go on in the opposite rotation momentarily, then
return itself to the forw a rd motion. Push the stop (STOP) button and the
gears will stop. Pushing the REV button while in stop mode will turn the gears
in re verse motion momentarily, and then return to the stop position. W h e n
done juicing, turn the unit off by pushing the power button. N OTE: The REV
mode is used to back up the gears when jamming occurs. If the REV mode does not
c o r rect the jamming, then turn the unit off, disassemble, clean, reassemble and
continue juicing.
