SAFETY FIRST

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or main body (motor) in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from the outlet before assembling, before taking off parts, before cleaning, and when not in use.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
8. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch heated surfaces.

SPINNING BRUSH ASSEMBLY, DISASSEMBLY, AND WASHING

SPINNING BRUSH ASSEMBLY

• Check the groove of the spinning brush and the direction of the silicone brush. As shown to the left, let the groove inserts face the spinning brush.
• Insert the silicone brush into the spinning brush. The longer part should face upward. Hold the outer wing of the silicone brush with your thumb and index finger, and insert the silicone brush into the groove of the spinning brush.

Pull tight.

• Push the silicone brush from the outer side of the spinning brush and pull the inner wing in the direction of the inside of the spinning brush with the other hand, as shown to the left.
• Pull it until you cannot pull it any longer. If the unit is not fully assembled, there is a risk of breakage.

• Remove the spinning brush from the juicing screen.
• Detach the silicone brush from the spinning brush. As shown to the left, hold the outer part of the silicone brush with your fingers and pull it out in the arrow direction. If pulling it by force, the silicone brush may be torn, or the spinning brush may be damaged.
• With a cleaning brush, wash inside and outside of the spinning brush under running water. Wash the silicone brush in the same way under running water.

BOWL PACKING ASSEMBLY

• Insert the bottom of the bowl packing into the bowl hole and fully press it down.
• Do not insert the whole part of the bowl packing.
• The upper part of the bowl packing must be shown.
• If the bowl packing at the bottom of the bowl is not fully inserted and is bent, set it into place with the rotating attractor of the cleaning brush.

JUICE FLAP ASSEMBLY

• Hold the juice cap packing as shown to the left. The hole must be visible.
• Open the juice cap and insert the juice cap packing to the top. Be careful not to drop the bowl.
• Set the packing to seal off completely. If not completely sealed, juice may leak.

STERILIZATION & EASY CLEANING

HANDWASH OPTION

• You can thoroughly wash parts by immersing them in warm water diluted with one or two drops of baking soda or dishwashing soap for about 30 minutes.
• When finished using the Omega Nutrition System, simply put the parts into the dishwasher, on the top rack.

CLEANING BETWEEN RECIPES

• When juicing multiple recipes successively, it is not necessary to disassemble and wash parts. Simply close the juice cap, pour water into the hopper, and operate the appliance.
• Open the juice cap and drain the water. After you are done juicing for the day, disassemble and fully wash the bowl set.

HINTS & TIPS

Use caution when juicing the following ingredients:

• Fruits with seeds that are hard to chew should be pitted before extraction. Fruits such as plums, peaches, and apricots.
• Stalk vegetables with strong fiber should be cut into smaller sizes of 1 to 2 inches before placing them in the hopper. Vegetables such as water parsley, celery, fennel, etc.
• Do not use sesame, coffee beans, bark of a tree, Chinese pepper, etc., which cannot be extracted.
• Do not use fruits preserved in alcohol, sugar, honey, etc. It may cause damage or failure.
• Frozen fruit or withered ingredients stored in the refrigerator for a long time may extract less amount of juice or may even be impossible to juice.
• Do not re-squeeze residue expelled through the pulp outlet, except for soft fruits. Soft fruits can be re-squeezed.
• You can use the appliance to crush spices (garlic and red pepper).
• Do not use the appliance to grind grains. It may cause damage or failure.
• We recommend you drink juice immediately after extraction.
• Do not use the appliance for more than 30 minutes continuously. It may cause failure due to overheating of the motor.

Fine Lines or Scratch Marks around the Auger

• This is normal. Do not be concerned. These are molding marks resulting from the normal manufacturing process.

Juice Leaks Over the Base

• Check for an excessive amount of ingredients in the hopper chute.
• If you try to juice a large amount of food compared to the pulp outlet, the packing will be slightly pushed away. Juice may leak out of the gap.
• Do not force too much food into the juicer. Push food gradually for extraction.

Juicer Shakes when In-Use

• This is normal as the auger rotates. It is not a malfunction. Hard ingredients such as carrots, potatoes, radishes, beets, etc., may cause shaking more so than soft ingredients.
