Description
The Omega J8006HDS is engineered with a robust and durable design, ensuring long-lasting performance. The slow speed of 80 RPM minimizes heat generation, which helps in preserving the nutrients and enzymes present in the juice. The dual-stage juicing system involves a crushing mechanism followed by a pressing action, resulting in a richer, more nutritious juice. This juicer also features an easy-to-use interface with a single speed setting and a reverse function to prevent clogging. The BPA-free construction ensures safety and durability. Additionally, the juicer comes with several accessories like a juice container, pulp container, and cleaning brush, making it convenient to use and maintain.

HOW TO PREPARE
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Juicing Screen | Adjustable End Cap | No Nozzle Needed
- Sieve: You may want to use this if you have juiced items that create more foam or more pulp than you prefer. Place the sieve on the juice container or bowl after juicing process is complete and before pouring juice into a glass.
- Thoroughly wash fresh ingredients to remove accumulated chemicals. The Omega® Nutrition System can extract juice from un-peeled fruits and vegetables but your taste may prefer peeled produce.
- Soft produce will process easier if refrigerated.
- Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces to fit in the drum.
- Turn [ON] machine and let it run without interruption until all juice has been extracted.
- Alternate soft and firm items. It is best to start with the softer item.
- If the pulp starts to clog the drum, turn [OFF] machine and empty the drum set. Reassemble and resume normal operation.
- After placing the last piece of fruit or vegetable into the hopper, keep the machine running for a few seconds to ensure juice is extracted.
- After every use, clean all parts that come into contact with food or juice.
- You may juice items that are not usually used in meals, for example, carrot or beet stems.
WHEATGRASS AND GREENS
Juicing Screen | Adjustable End Cap | No Nozzle Needed
- Sieve: You may want to use this if you have juiced items that create more foam or more pulp than you prefer. Place the sieve on the juice bowl after juicing process is complete and before pouring juice into a glass. You can also place the sieve on the pulp container and pour the small amount of juice into a glass.
- Thoroughly wash fresh ingredients to remove accumulated chemicals.
- Do not overfill the feed chute. Feed the juicer with small quantities. Allow most of the juice to exit before pushing in the next item.
- Some juice may exit into the pulp bowl and not the juice bowl. This is normal. This may continue to occur until the ejection area is filled with pulp.
- When juicing an item for added taste, insert that item during the first half of the juicing process. If inserted at the end of the process, the full taste may not come through.
- Certain green drinks may be too strong for some people. Lemon, apple, ginger, carrots &/or beets may be added as a natural sweetener to dilute the taste of wheatgrass and leafy greens.
PASTA OR BREADSTICKS
Blank Cone | Blank End Cap | Round, Flat or Breadsticks Nozzle
- This machine is made to extrude pasta; not make pasta. Make dough by hand or use a mixer.
- Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the pasta, on the nutrition system hopper and inside the drum to prevent sticking.
- Add water to the dough if it becomes too dry.
- To extrude pasta:
Decide which style of noodle you prefer and place the appropriate nozzle on the drum. Shape the pasta dough into balls or tubes that are slightly smaller than the nutrition system drum opening. Turn [ON] machine. Process dough through nutrition system. A consistent feeding of dough without any gaps will give you longer noodles as pasta exits. Pasta may be cut with scissor or a knife to desired length. Freshly made pasta should be put in boiling water. Fresh pasta will cook faster than packaged pasta. If you want to make the pasta more flavorful, add spinach, basil or sundried tomatoes. Leftover vegetable juice or pulp may also be mixed into dough for added flavor.
