• Sieve: You may want to use this if you have juiced items that create more foam or

more pulp than you prefer. Place the sieve on the juice container or bowl after juicing process is complete and before pouring juice into a glass.

•

Thoroughly wash fresh ingredients to remove accumulated chemicals. The Omega® Nutrition System can extract juice from un-peeled fruits and vegetables but your taste may prefer peeled produce.

•

Soft produce will process easier if refrigerated.

Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces to t in the drum.

•

Turn [ON] machine and let it run without interruption until all juice has been extracted.

•

Alternate soft and rm items. It is best to start with the softer item.

•

If the pulp starts to clog the drum, turn [OFF] machine and empty the drum set.

•

Reassemble and resume normal operation.

•

After placing the last piece of fruit or vegetable into the hopper, keep the machine running for a few seconds to ensure juice is extracted.

•

After every use, clean all parts that come into contact with food or juice.

You may juice items that are not usually used in meals, for example, carrot or beet stems.

juice to exit before pushing in the next item.

• Some juice may exit into the pulp bowl and not the juice bowl. This is normal. This may

continue to occur until the ejection area is lled with pulp.

• When juicing an item for added taste, insert that item during the rst half of the juicing

process. If inserted at the end of the process, the full taste may not come through.

• Certain green drinks may be too strong for some people. Lemon, apple, ginger,

carrots &/or beets may be added as a natural sweetener to dilute the taste of wheatgrass and leafy greens.

BABY FOOD

Blank Cone | Blank End Cap | No Nozzle Needed

• Making homemade baby food with your Omega Juicer can be very rewarding

knowing that you are giving your baby fresh produce that is nutritious and easily digestible. This also gives your baby regular chances to experience a wide variety of

textures and tastes without articial preservatives or additives.

• Start by cooking the vegetable or fruit. Either steam, bake, or boil. Steaming

maintains the most nutrients.

• For Fruits: apples, pears, peaches, plums, mangoes and strawberries, all puree well.

• For Vegetables: potatoes, carrots, yams, broccoli and squash, all puree well.

• Turn [ON] machine. Spoon the cooked vegetable/fruit down the chute. If steamed

or boiled vegetable or fruit add some of the cooked liquid. Adding the liquid helps preserve any nutrients that may have released into the water during cooking.

COFFEE GRINDER

Blank Cone | Blank End Cap | No Nozzle Needed

• Turn [ON] machine. Place coffee beans into the chute at a slow steady pace. The

beans will come out nely ground. Do not add too many beans at a time. There

should be no need to grind the beans twice.

• If the coffee bean has a high oil content, you may want to dry the bean out

overnight in order to process it easier.

PASTA OR BREADSTICKS

Blank Cone | Blank End Cap | Round, Flat or Breadsticks Nozzle

• This machine can to extrude pasta; not make pasta. Make dough by hand or use a

mixer.

•

Sprinkle a small amount of our on the pasta, on the nutrition system hopper and

inside the drum to prevent sticking.

•

Add water to the dough if it becomes too dry.

To extrude pasta:

•

Decide which style of noodle you prefer and place the appropriate nozzle on the drum.

Shape the pasta dough into balls or tubes that are slightly smaller than the nutrition

system hopper opening.

Turn [ON] machine. Process dough through nutrition system. A consistent feeding of

dough without any gaps will give you longer noodles as pasta exits. Pasta may be cut with a scissor or a knife to desired length.

Freshly made pasta should be put in boiling water. Fresh pasta will cook faster than

packaged pasta.

If you want to make the pasta more avorful, add spinach, basil or sundried tomatoes.

Leftover vegetable juice or pulp may also be mixed into dough for added avor.

Your choice of nozzle will determine the size and shape of the pasta.
