How To Clean An Oscar
Cleaning an Oscar juicer
What you will need
- Warm water (you can use cold water as well but we have found warm water to be the most effective).
- Dishwasher liquid.
- Dish cloth.
- Supplied cleaning brush.
How to
- Start by unplugging your juicer from the wall socket.
- Disassemble the front end part of our juicer completely. For information on how to assemble and disassemble your Oscar juicer click here.
- Rinse each item under running water.
- For a more thorough cleaning session, fill the sink with warm soapy water and add your dishwashing liquid. Wash all the front end parts and clean the strainer with the provided brush. The provided brush is designed to reach those areas that are hard to reach with a dishcloth. Rinse and dry properly with a dishcloth before storage or reusing.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge moistened with water to wipe down the machine itself. Although the juice is designed to go through a certain route in the juicer, juice and pulp do splash on the juicer itself.
It is important not to leave food particles to dry out in the juicing strainer as this blocks the holes, making it difficult to clean and it restricts the flow of juice.
Did you know? When “cleaning an Oscar juicer” you do not need to do a complete clean-up between juicing. When you are finished with your first juicing session, pour water into the hopper while the juicer is running. Remove the entire front end as one complete piece and put into plastic supermarket bag and place it into the fridge. For your next juicing session simply remove it from the fridge and re-attach it. It is not recommended to do this for more than 2 juicing sessions.
All parts are not dishwasher safe!
