☝🏼 How to assemble the parts correctly
It is important that you assemble the machine correctly depending on what you will use it for. Keep the instruction manual easily accessible near the machine, follow the image in the user manual on page 5 to see how to assemble correctly. If this is not followed carefully, the hole in the press housing can be damaged – the pressing roller can scrape against the yellow ring, and cracks around the ring may occur 🥲
Remember that the warranty does not cover when the machine is not used correctly)
This video shows how to disassemble an Omega MM900, which follows the same principle as for the MM1500:
🐢 Juice slowly and with patience
If it goes too fast, more heat is created, and it must not get too hot in the press housing. It is therefore good to feed the machine slowly so that it keeps up, one ingredient at a time. Let most of the juice run out before you insert new ingredients. You can also use the reverse setting if you see clumping.
💃 How to juice more than 0.5 liters at a time
It is good to clean the endcap from pulp when you have juiced 0.5 liters and then you can continue. If clumps form in the press housing, you can use the reverse setting on the juicer for a few seconds and then start it up again.
🕒 Time limit for the machine
Use the machine for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time, then it needs to rest for a while before you can continue.
🥬 How to juice celery
Insert the whole celery stalks into the juicing machine, they should not be cut into pieces.

🥶 How to juice softer ingredients
Take them out of the refrigerator just before juicing so they remain crisp. Another factor that affects juice extraction is the quality of the ingredients, which can vary throughout the year in different countries. The freshness and crispiness of your fruits and vegetables will also affect the efficiency of your juicer. 👌🏼
Here's a video on how to juice soft vegetables and fruits. It's for the MM900 but can also be applied to the MM1500:
🔧 How to set your endcap correctly
The celery endcap (the outermost part of the press housing) is used only for celery. The standard endcap is used for other soft fruits and vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, and citrus fruits. You can also press wild herbs, wheatgrass, barley grass, lettuce leaves, kale, spinach, and other chlorophyll-rich plants with that cap. Begin by turning the endcap counterclockwise to "Max". This increases the resistance for the pulp to come out and yields the most juice. However, this can cause the press housing to get hot, so be careful and don't run at max if you don't need to.If the press housing gets too hot, the endcap can become deformed. Therefore, slowly turn down the adjustable endcap if you start to experience pulp accumulating and creating a blockage in the press housing. When the pulp starts coming out again, you can adjust the endcap back to the maximum setting and resume your juicing session. We recommend juicing at max for a while, then reducing to half for a while. Repeat this throughout the entire juicing process for best results. The following video shows how to use the endcap on the MM900, but it's the same principle with your MM1500:
🍊 Alternate between soft and firm vegetables and fruits
If you're juicing something other than celery (with the standard endcap), feed in some parts of the softer vegetable/fruit (e.g., orange) and then some of the firmer vegetable/fruit (e.g., carrot). Then continue alternating back and forth. Always finish with your firm product.
👌🏼 Tips for drier pulp and more juice
Our experience is that you can extract more juice than you might think with a little finesse. There are two methods worth trying if you want to get as much juice as possible:
Turn on the reverse function briefly at the end of juicing and then run forward again. This gives the remaining pulp a chance to be properly pressed and exit the press housing.
Feed some of the pulp that has already come out back in so it goes through a second time. This way, the very last juice is pressed out.
🌱 How to get less pulp in your juice
Even here, it's difficult to achieve a perfect result with juice completely free from pulp. But there are two tips that help:
Juice slowly and don't feed in more fruit or vegetables if the juicer is already processing a larger mass. Instead, carefully feed in one piece at a time so less pulp runs out with the juice.
Empty the press housing of pulp when you see it starting to get full or when you have juiced 0.5 liters. This way you avoid pulp coming out with the juice at the outlet of the press housing.
🪥 Cleaning the machine
It is easy to clean your MM900. It has only a few parts to disassemble and clean. You can even wash them in the top rack of the dishwasher. But to prevent dirt from sticking, we recommend that you wash the parts immediately after use. Wash them with hot water, liquid dish soap and the included cleaning brush.
Over time, a mineral coating can form on the press housing. To address this, you can soak them in one part water and one part vinegar, at least once a week for about 2-4 hours (or overnight). Here's a video on how to deep clean your juicer:
