The concept of Living Juice was first introduced by Dr Norman Walker (1874-1983). Walker declared that the vital enzymes in fruit and vegetable juices die at temperatures which exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Walker said that any juice extractor which used a high speed blade or centrifuge, created friction heat leading to the destruction of enzymes.
After you're done juicing remove the juicing drum from the motor, bring it to the sink, remove the adjustable pressure cap, the drum cap, the auger and juicer strainer. Rinse in warm water, place in the drying rack. To make it easy for you to clean the small screen on the juicing strainer, your OSCAR comes with a small brush. Use the brush to clean inside and outside the screen. When the parts are dry it's ready to reassemble.
First take the drum, insert the auger, insert the juicing strainer along grooves at the bottom of the drum, attach the drum cap, attach the pressure cap, and attach the juicing assembly to the motor and the hopper on top of the drum.

5. Is it okay to put OSCAR parts into the dishwasher?
No. Wash all the parts in the kitchen sink using detergent and hot/warm water.
6. When I juice carrots, beetroot and other highly coloured vegetables, the inside of the drum cap and nozzle get discoloured. Is there a way to remove these stains?
Yes there is. Soak the parts in bicarbonate of soda or white vinegar or citric acid. Olive oil is also effective. Remember that vegetable stains are on the inside of the machine where no one sees them and vegetable stains are safe.
7. What else will OSCAR do?
OSCAR will not only extract the juice from fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, like spinach and wheatgrass and herbs, but can be used as a seasoning chopper for garlic, onion, red and green pepper and ginger.
OSCAR will make pasta and noodles, nut butter, fruit sorbets and ice-cream. (Recipes supplied.)
8. Will OSCAR separate the juice from the pulp?
Yes. The juice falls into the juice bowl and the pulp is automatically ejected through the nozzle and falls into the pulp bowl.
