Frequently asked questions
1. What is living juice? 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, and so, any juice extractor
which used a high speed blade, or centrifuge, created friction
heat leading to the destruction of enzymes.
Oscar rotates at a low 80 rpm, so that it produces no heat
around the auger, ensuring a living juice without any loss
of enzymes or nutrients.
After Walker retired, Max Gerson took over his work
and enjoyed success for his achievements using living juice
therapies for people with cancer. Dr Gerson has used living juices in the treatment
of cancer patients for over 30 years. 2. How does Oscar produce more juice?
Oscar's low speed, gentle, stone mill-like auger, operating
between 75 to 90 rpm, allows the food to be juiced again and
again, thereby removing a maximum amount of juice.
3. Is it true that Oscar is quieter than other
juicers?
Yes. In past tests comparing the Oscar with other leading
juicers on the market, Oscar was shown to be considerably
quieter than the other types tested. You only have to hear
Oscar to get a pleasant surprise.
4. Is the Oscar easy to clean?
Oscar comes with 20 parts which are easy to assemble, disassemble
and clean. You can disassemble the drum set, strainer and
auger, clean all the parts, and reassemble them to start juicing
again within minutes.
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 juicer parts in bicarbonate of soda,
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 can do more than just extract the juice from fruit,
vegetables and leafy greens (like spinach, wheatgrass and
herbs).
It can also be used
- as a seasoning chopper for garlic, onions, red and green
peppers, and ginger.
- to mince fish and meat and will make pasta, noodles,
nut butter, fruit sorbets and icecream. (Recipes supplied.)
- to extract oil from flax and sesame seed with the oil
extractor attachment (optional).
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. Oscar DA802 comes with separate fruit and vegetable
strainers. The fruit strainer is courser, i.e. larger holes,
while the vegetable strainer is very fine.
9. What is Oscar made of?
Oscar is a solid juicer made from hygienic, and heavy duty,
polycarbonate. The motor is a ¼ HP single phase induction
motor, engineered for a long life. The Oscar comes with a
full five year warranty on motor, parts and labour.
