5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Juicing Fruits and Vegetables

The Omega NC800HDS is designed to extract juice from a wide variety of produce.

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the feed chute. Remove large seeds, pits, and hard rinds. For fibrous vegetables like celery or leafy greens, cut them into shorter lengths (approx. 1-2 inches) to prevent clogging.
2. Adjust End Cap: For most fruits and vegetables, start with a medium pressure setting (e.g., 3 or 4). For softer items, use a lower setting (1-2). For harder items or maximum yield from leafy greens, use a higher setting (4-5).
3. Start Juicer: Plug in the juicer and turn the power switch to 'ON'.
4. Feed Ingredients: Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force ingredients, as this can strain the motor.
5. Continuous Juicing: The automatic pulp ejection system will separate pulp into the pulp container, allowing for continuous operation.
6. Finish: Once juicing is complete, turn the power switch to 'OFF' and unplug the unit.

5.2 Other Nutrition System Functions

The Omega NC800HDS is more than just a juicer. By using the blank screen and various nozzles, you can expand its capabilities.

To use these functions, replace the juicing screen with the blank screen and attach the appropriate nozzle to the end cap.

• Nut Butters: Process roasted nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews) through the juicer with the blank screen and a suitable nozzle. You may need to re-process the butter several times until desired consistency is achieved.
• Baby Food: Process cooked fruits and vegetables (e.g., steamed carrots, apples) through the juicer with the blank screen to create smooth purees.
• Nut Milks: Soak nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews) overnight, then process them with water through the juicer using the blank screen.
• Frozen Desserts: Process frozen fruits (e.g., bananas, berries) through the juicer with the blank screen for a sorbet-like consistency.
• Pasta Extrusion: Use the specialized pasta nozzles with prepared dough to extrude various pasta shapes.
• Grinding: Grind coffee beans or spices using the blank screen and a suitable nozzle.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your juicer. All removable parts are dishwasher safe.

1. Disassembly: Turn off and unplug the juicer. Disassemble all removable parts in reverse order of assembly (end cap, screen, auger, drum, containers).
2. Rinsing: Immediately rinse all disassembled parts under warm running water to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
3. Brushing: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any stubborn pulp or residue from the juicing screen and other components. Pay special attention to the mesh of the screen.
4. Washing: Wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Alternatively, place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
