IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following.

1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or the appliance in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug your juicer from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. DO NOT operate this or 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 or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.

14. Be sure to turn the switch to the off position after each use. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
15. DO NOT put your fingers or other objects into the feed chute while the juicer is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the feed chute, use pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable to push it down. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble the juicer to remove the remaining food.
16. DO NOT use the appliance if the rotating sieve is damaged.
17. Do not operate without the pulp container in place.

STERILIZATION & EASY CLEANING

STEP 1 Follow the disassembling instructions as explained previously in this manual.
STEP 2 Thoroughly wash parts in hot water. No detergent is required, but a mild detergent may be used if desired. Pulp chute, plunger, and cover require only light rinsing.
STEP 3 Wash strainer basket/blade assembly and bowl under running water. A stiff brush may be used to loosen any food residue.
STEP 4 If desired, removable parts may be cleaned in the dishwasher on the top rack. Do not attempt to clean motor base housing in the dishwasher.
STEP 5 To remove pulp debris from the strainer basket/blade assembly, scrape out using a non-abrasive brush. Place the strainer basket/blade assembly under running water to aid in the cleaning process.
STEP 6 Towel dry all parts before reassembling.
STEP 7 After repeated use, mineral stains may begin to appear on parts that come in contact with juice. Immerse all removable parts and completely submerge in water overnight with a solution of eight tablespoons of dishwasher detergent pergallon of water. (Do Not immerse the motor base housing).
STEP 8 If juicing daily, it is recommended to soak parts overnight as mentioned above on a weekly basis. If this precaution is not taken the openings in the mesh screen of the basket will start to fill in, making the juicer less efficient.
STEP 9 Your Omega Juicer never needs lubrication of any kind.
DISHWASHER USE: The stainless steel parts of the Mega Mouth Juicer can be placed in the dishwasher. The plastic parts may be placed in the dishwasher on the top rack only if the water is not extremely hot. If the water is too hot, the items should be hand washed.

HINTS & TIPS

• Make sure the machine is running at full speed before beginning to juice.
• Do not force food in to the juicer. For most fruits and vegetables, a slow, steady push down the chute will provide optimal juicing.
• The Mega Mouth Juicer is capable of juicing many types of large fruits and vegetables without the need for cutting. If a fruit or vegetable must be cut, cut only into large pieces that easily fit down the feed chute.
• When preparing 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 into the feed chute, then a piece or two of apple. Continue alternating this manner.
• When juicing leafy greens we suggest that you twist and roll the greens into a ball roughly the size of a golf ball. Always place the greens into the juicer first, followed by crisper vegetables such as carrots, celery, etc.
• When juicing very soft fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, grapes and peaches, we suggest that you alternate with firmer fruits and vegetables.
• Cleaning the Fruits and Vegetables: Before you begin juicing, thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables. A vegetable brush may be used to clean carrots, cucumbers, celery, etc. Cut away any decaying, diseased, or spoiled portions of all fruits and vegetables.
• Preparing the Fruits and Vegetables: It is not necessary to peel your fruits and vegetables. Many of the nutrients are contained under the surface near the skin. Some exceptions that should be peeled include cucumbers, pineapples, oranges, grapefruit. These should always be peeled.
• USES OF PULP: With the Omega Mega Mouth Juicer, nothing is wasted. The pulp has a variety of uses, including flavoring in soups, cakes and salads, as compost in gardens and plants, feed for small pets, and even baby food (after mixing the remaining pulp with juice/water to dilute).

SPECIAL NOTE: Bananas can not be juiced, only pulverized, therefore it is not recommended to try to juice bananas with a Mega Mouth Juicer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Please troubleshoot using the details below before contacting Omega Customer Service for repair or service. When contacting Omega for after-sales service, please have the manufacturer’s serial number or bar code available.
The Appliance Does Not Work

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly.
• Make sure the juicer is assembled correctly. If the right latch arm is not locked into place, the appliance will not operate.
• Make sure the appliance is assembled according to the instructions in this manual.

Refer to the instructions.

• If the appliance still does not work, please contact Omega Customer Service for additional support.

The Appliance Stops During Normal Operation

• Check for large pieces of food stuck in the appliance.
• If the appliance still does not work, please contact Omega Customer Service for additional support.

Fine Lines or Scratch Marks

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

Juice Leaks Over the Base

• Check to make sure a cup is properly located under the juice spout.
• Do not force too much food into the juicer. Push food gradually for extraction.
• Check to make sure the pulp receptacle bin is properly placed behind the motor case housing.

Juicer Shakes when In-Use

• This is normal as the strainer basket rotates. It is not a malfunction. Hard ingredients such as carrots, potatoes, radishes, beets, etc. may cause shaking more so than soft ingredients.
• Depending on the firmness of the ingredient, there may be a more pronounced shaking of the motor.
• Slight shaking may be caused by the motor.
