Place cover on bowl with ejection chute opening to the rear. The tab on the front of the cover should rest in the groove on the pulp chute. The pulp chute should rest inside of the pulp receptacle bin. Place tabs of latch arms over cover and secure by pressing down on the bottom of each latch arm. Insert pusher into the feed chute. Place bowl ring on top of the bowl with the groove facing upwards. Align the chute over the pulp receptacle bin. Place the bowl on the base housing with the spout facing the front of the unit. Place the pulp receptacle bin behind the motor base housing. Place the juicing screen/blade assembly inside the bowl, making certain it rests at.

Separate the pulp chute, strainer basket/blade assembly and coupling from bowl. Remove the Pulp Reception Bin. Remove cover. Release both side latch arms by inserting ngers into the two side openings at the bottom of the motor base housing and by pulling outward. Remove pusher from feed chute. Lifting from the bowl. Simultaneously lift out bowl, coupling, and strainer basket/blade assembly. Do not attempt to remove the strainer basket/blade assembly by itself. SPECIAL NOTE: The stainless steel basket is a precision-engineered item that should be handled carefully. This will help the juicer run efciently and smoothly while increasing its operating life.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING When turning off, make sure that the motor stops completely. After the extraction is complete, press the [OFF] button to stop. Wait 3-5 seconds after turning the unit on before inserting produce. Gradually put the ingredients into the chute and press down with the pusher.

For safety, always make sure the unit is unplugged before assembly or disassembly.

When assembling the juicer, the parts must be in alignment or the arms will not lock.

Check that the parts are aligned before locking the arms. If the parts are not aligned as shown in the manual, forcing the arms shut may cause damage!

For best results slowly feed large or hard ingredients with the pusher in 2-3 stages, alternating between pushing and pausing. This technique ensures the maximum amount of juice extraction and also prevents malfunction.

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 per gallon 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 ll in, making the juicer less efcient. 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. Plastic parts that become warped due to high heat will not be covered under the warranty.5 PRECAUTIONS

Assemble the juicer properly.5 HINTS & TIPS23 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 t 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 rst, 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 rmer 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, and 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 avoring 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.5 TROUBLESHOOTING25 TROUBLESHOOTING Please troubleshoot using the details below before contacting Omega Customer Service for repair or service.

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 rmness of the ingredient, there may be a more pronounced shaking of the motor.

Slight shaking may be caused by the motor. CONTACT US: Online: www.OmegaJuicers.com/contact-omega-juicers26
