HINTS & TIPS
• Make sure the machine is running at full speed before beginning to juice.
• Do not force food in to the juicer. For most fruits and vegetables, a slow, steady push
down the chute will provide optimal juicing.
• The Mega Mouth Juicer is capable of juicing many types of large fruits and
vegetables without the need for cutting. If a fruit or vegetable must be cut, cut only
into large pieces that easily fit down the feed chute.
• When preparing 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 into
the feed chute, then a piece or two of apple. Continue alternating this manner.
• When juicing leafy greens we suggest that you twist and roll the greens into a ball
roughly the size of a golf ball. Always place the greens into the juicer first, followed by
crisper vegetables such as carrots, celery, etc.
• When juicing very soft fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, grapes and peaches,
we suggest that you alternate with firmer fruits and vegetables.
• Cleaning the Fruits and Vegetables: Before you begin juicing, thoroughly wash all
fruits and vegetables. A vegetable brush may be used to clean carrots, cucumbers,
celery, etc. Cut away any decaying, diseased, or spoiled portions of all fruits and
vegetables.
• Preparing the Fruits and Vegetables: It is not necessary to peel your fruits and
vegetables. Many of the nutrients are contained under the surface near the skin.
Some exceptions that should be peeled include cucumbers, pineapples, oranges,
and grapefruit. These should always be peeled.
• Uses of Pulp: With the Omega Mega Mouth Juicer, nothing is wasted. The pulp has a
variety of uses, including flavoring in soups, cakes and salads, as compost in gardens
and plants, feed for small pets, and even baby food (after mixing the remaining pulp
with juice/water to dilute).
SPECIAL NOTE: Bananas can not be juiced, only pulverized, therefore it is not
recommended to try to juice bananas with a Mega Mouth Juicer.
