Operating Instructions

Your Omega juicer is designed for efficient cold press juicing and other food preparation tasks.

General Juicing

• Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the correct end cap is installed.
• Plug the juicer into a grounded electrical outlet.
• Turn the juicer ON.
• Gradually feed prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed chute. Use the pusher only if necessary to gently guide produce. Do not force produce.
• The juicer operates at 80 RPM to minimize heat buildup and oxidation, ensuring maximum nutrient extraction.

Optimized Celery Juicing

For celery, use the specialized celery end cap (with the green ring). This cap is engineered to squeeze celery longer, producing more juice and less waste. Feed fresh, cold, whole celery stalks through the chute rather than cutting them into small pieces.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your juicer.
