INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE OMEGA JUICER 1000 AND 500

HOUSEHOLD AND COMMERCIAL USE

I M P O RTANT 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

HELPFUL HINTS

N OTE: For best results, go through the operating pro c e d u res, carefully noting all
c a u t i o n a ry 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.

• T h e re 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,
f o l l owed by crispier vegetables such as carrots, celery, etc. The juice from
these vegetables will force additional juice from the gre e n s .

• When juicing ve ry soft fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, grapes

and peaches, we suggest that you do not use the filters! Feed the machine
s l ow l y, 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 ve ry helpful to alternate with firmer fruits
and vegetables. We suggest using seedless grapes and re m oving the peels
f rom tomatoes and peaches. Due to the softness of these fruits and
vegetables, some vibration may occur.

• A l l ow 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 Ju i c e r.

• SELECTING FRU I TS AND V E G E TA B L E S. It is ve ry important that

you select fruits and vegetables that are ve ry fresh – firm, crisp and juicy!

• CLEANING THE FRU I TS AND V E G E TABLES. Be f o re 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.

H I N T: The only exceptions are cucumbers, pineapples, oranges and gra p e f ruit.
These should be peeled.

C L E A N I N G

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.
