Oscar Neo DA 1000
Cold Press Juicer
USER MANUAL AND RECIPE BOOK
Dear Customer,
Congratulations! You are now the proud
owner of the Oscar Neo DA 1000 Juicer &
Living Food Processor.
Please read this manual carefully before you
begin using your cold press juice extractor
and living food processor. It has important
tips and instructions so you can utilise the
Oscar Neo DA 1000 to its full potential.
You have made the right choice!
The use of a cold pressing juicer results in
the extraction of a ‘complete’ juice. This
means that essential fibres are properly
pulverised and the vital elements can be
released into the liquid.
When extracted, the raw juices are readily
and quickly assimilated by the body and
regenerate with surprisingly rapid results.
The gentle, slow-turning action of a cold
press juicer produces a greater quantity of
juice, which retains more vitamins, minerals,
enzymes, phytonutrients and fibre than
high-speed centrifugal juicers which heat
up the juice, allow air to enter and therefore
cause damage to some of the perishable
nutrients.
With the Oscar Neo DA 1000 Juicer & Living
Food Processor you get:
• more juice
• less pulp
• more vitamins, minerals and enzymes
• longer lasting juices.
‘Living Food Kitchen’ products feature
patented technology for less pulp and more
juice and are made with the highest quality
components.
• Oscar juicers feature a patented stone mill-
like screw, made of hygienic FDA approved
polycarbonate and contain NO dangerous
toxic chemicals in their plastics such as
Bisphenol A.
• Oscar juicers’ slow speed ensures full taste
and nutrition. Nothing is lost through
heated elements in your juicer.
• Oscar juicers are easy to assemble and
dismantle for quick cleaning.
• Oscar juicers assure many years of trouble-
free and dependable service.
• Oscar juicers come with a 20 year warranty
on the motor and 10 year warranty on all
parts and labour.
The Oscar Neo 1000 features a patented 3
step auger for less pulp and more juice plus
a sleek new juicing screen with smaller holes
and a silicone seal to prevent juice escaping
with the pulp.
The result is a less pulpy juice and a higher
yield than its counterparts, plus longer
juicing life and less cleaning up time.
Two decades ago, our company’s founder,
Roger Akins began designing and
distributing quality living juice extractors for
the Australian market.
During the early years, Vitality 4 Life
developed the concept of living juice
extractors in association with such
organisations as the Hippocrates Institute in
Florida, USA.
Since this time, consumer awareness has
developed significantly; a tiny alternative
niche has now become mainstream.
Vitality 4 Life has pioneered the introduction
of cold-pressed juice extractors to the
Western World and now exports all over the
world.
We are encouraged that our Vitality 4 Life
‘Approved Product’ range is regarded as the
finest in the world.
Our selection criteria remain simple;
The product must offer the customer
superior value and quality, deliver genuine
health benefits and be made in a way
that recognises the scarcity of our planets
resources.
During the past two decades we have never
forgotten why we started Vitality 4 Life and
our belief in the healing power of living
food, living juice, pure water, fresh air and
sunshine.

Troubleshooting
The motor sounds
noisy, what shall
I do?
If the juicer starts to vibrate slightly during
operation, turn off the machine and empty
the drum set. Re-assemble and resume
normal operation.
If your machine is making a loud noise, take
all the extra parts off the machine and run
the motor alone. If it is still making a loud
noise then contact your distributor.
If the motor is not making a noise, check
that all parts and seals are clean, as residue
may create a noise.
Check the kind of produce you are using,
as some kinds of produce are noisier
than others, for instance, if your produce
is particularly hard or has been frozen or
refrigerated.
What shall I do
if I’ve lost the
original tamper?
Call your distributor and order a new part. It
is very important to use the correct plunger/
tamper for the machine as they are made to
fit each juicer precisely.
Using any other type of plunger / pusher or
tamper will void warranty as the length and
width of the BioChef tamper is specific to
this machine.
12
While the Oscar Neo 1000 Cold Press
Juicer can extract juice from most
unpeeled fruits and vegetables, we
recommend thorough washing,
scrubbing and/or peeling fresh
ingredients to remove accumulated
chemicals and soil debris.
Oranges need to be peeled while the
skins of limes, lemons and kiwi fruit
can be juiced with 1/3 of the peel on..
Please quarter these ingredients and
feed into machine, alternating with
other produce.
To chop or not to chop?
With Oscar’s extraction process,
nutrients in the skin of fresh produce
can be extracted (carrots, apples,
grapes etc).
With other ingredients such as
pineapple and stone fruits, all tough
skins, stalks and seeds need to be
removed. Cut produce so it easily fits
into the hopper / feeding chute (width
wise).
With continuous juicing available, the
feeding chute can take any length. If
you buy smaller, young carrots, you
don’t need to chop them at all; they
can go in whole as long as they fit
down the chute. It’s only the width
that needs chopping, not the length.
So you need to chop beetroot and
apples but not young carrots, small
varieties of cucumbers, celery,
silverbeet or other leafy greens.
What about soft fruits?
When juicing your soft fruits, you will
find it works best to alternate them with
carrots, celery or other hard vegetables.
Avoid using old, dehydrated or mushy
produce as the water content will be
naturally depleted.
Fruit juice and your health
Cold press juicing was developed by
Dr. Norman Walker who believed we
should “eat your fruit and juice your
vegetables”. It’s good to bear this in
mind when embarking on a juice
regime for health and vitality.
Large quantities of fruit juices can
mean a significant increase in sugars
which can affect the body’s sensitive
chemical balance.
It is recommended fruit is used
sparingly and as a way to enhance the
taste of a vegetable juice. Aim to drink
a litre of cold pressed juice a day. The
beauty of the Oscar Neo 1000 Cold
Press Juicer is that you can make up
a large juice and it will stay vital and
álive’ for around 48 hours.
Fresh limes, a slice of ginger and
a crisp green apple will enhance
the taste of a pure vegetable juice
(without upsetting your body
chemistry).
*For larger quantities of fruit
ingredients, we recommend a BioChef
high powered blender to make whole
fibre juices.
Only use the tamper supplied and do
not use the machine with wet hands.
Oscar Neo 1000
Handy Hints
13
Preparing your produce
The pulp from the first few pieces of
fruit and vegetables will be wetter
than normal as the machine builds
up pressure for efficient juicing.
When juicing soft and hard produce,
alternate to avoid soft fruits clogging.
If produce becomes clogged in the
machine, use the reverse switch.
Backing up in the juicer can be
remedied by placing the fruit in the
juicer one piece at a time. For soft fruits
the pulp is bound to be a little wetter.
All pits, such as date, plum, apricot
and peach pits must be removed prior
to juicing. Seeds from lemons, limes,
grapes and melons etc. may be put into
your juicer.
When you are making nut butters, soak
nuts for 8 hours or overnight before
processing as this aids the body’s
digestive process and avoids damage
and excess wear and tear to the auger
and juicing strainer.
When processing frozen fruits, let them
stand for 10 minutes before use. This
ensures any attached ice has melted
and prevents damage to the auger.
Cleaning your machine
Oscar parts are not dishwasher safe.
Rinse juicer parts under running or
warm soapy water for a good clean.
The quali
of the produce
The type of produce you decide
to juice really is up to you.
Organic produce is always going
to be the best choice, however it
can be more expensive and hard
to find. So we say do the best you
can with what you have available.
Going organic really gives your
body the very best nutrition
possible. Community gardens
are starting to appear even in
urban areas and farmers markets
are also becoming a regular sight
in most cities and towns. Start
to take note of what greens and
fruits are in season or available in
your area.
Bottled vs cold pressed juice
Processed bottled juice on supermarket shelves comes in all forms – plastic or
glass bottles, canned, refrigerated cartons or vacuum packed. So some ‘fresh’
juices have a shelf life of up to 2 years.
The juice, once extracted is quickly pasteurised or heat treated at around 90
degrees. This heating process has been shown to destroy certain nutrients and
changes the pH from alkaline to acid. Most antioxidants are heat sensitive and
can reduce by 15% each time a juice is heated.
By the time the juice is packed and sold in the supermarket or deli it may
have been heated at 2 or 3 different locations to get in the final bottle and
the long term storage of pasteurised juice leads to a further breakdown of
nutrients over time.
If you look closely at the ingredients, you will see that a lot of juice companies
use juice concentrates to save costs, but regardless of whether the juice is
made from concentrate or not, the alkaline properties and naturally occurring
nutrients are greatly diminished.
These juice concentrates are often imported and typically involve hours of
heating to remove the water, leaving little nutritional value behind.
Cold press juicers mimic our own chewing function to fully extract vitamins,
enzymes and minerals from fruits and vegetables. The important soluble fibre
is retained while the insoluble fibre is extracted.
Drinking a cold press juice is the fastest way to flood our bodies with goodness
while giving our digestive systems a rest. The enzymes are retained in the
juice and absorbed quickly. As the juice is extracted so gently, the nutritional
goodness will remain for around 48 hours.

Green Juice
INGREDIENTS
1 small broccoli head
or 1 cup florets
1 – 2 stalks of celery
¼ cabbage
1 small lettuce head
or 1 cup leaves
¼ cup spinach leaves
sprouts of any kind
sprigs of parsley
1 small cucumber
apple and lime to taste
Green juices are rich in chlorophyll
in its natural state – the way nature
intended.
One of chlorophyll’s most important
functions is the oxygenation of
the bloodstream. It is necessary
for health to select foods that feed
rather than rob the body of oxygen.
Without sufficient oxygen in the
blood, we are prone to develop
symptoms of low energy, sluggish
digestion and metabolism, leading
to deterioration in vitality and an
increase in the onset of disease.
The addition of limes and apples to
green juices greatly assist to make
juices more tolerable to the palate.

Wheatgrass...
nature’s healer
Wheatgrass is baby wheat, planted
on the soil and not sown.
Wheatgrass produces high
concentrations of chlorophyll,
active enzymes, vitamins and
other nutrients. Chlorophyll makes
up over 70% of the solid content of
wheatgrass juice and is the basis of
all plant life. It is often referred to as
the “blood of plant life” as it closely
resembles the molecule in human
red blood cells. Wheatgrass is not
only rich in chlorophyll; it has 100
elements needed by the body to
keep vital and nourished. If grown
in organic soil, wheatgrass absorbs
92 of the known 102 minerals from
the soil.
Dr. Ann Wigmore was a pioneer
in the use of wheatgrass juice for
detoxifying and healing the body,
mind, and spirit. The recommended
daily allowance for wheatgrass is 30
mls once or twice per day. You can
start with as little as 10–15mls per
day and gradually increase the dose.
Wheatgrass juice can temporarily
cause an upset stomach if too much
is consumed too soon.
Care and Use
Cut the grass close to the roots and
wash thoroughly to ensure no soil
or stones are present. You can get a
second yield when the grass grows
back, although the content won’t be
as rich as the original grass. Feed the
wheatgrass tips first into the Axis.
Four trays planted on different days
over a two week period should be
enough for 1 person. Undoubtedly,
wheatgrass has a very strong taste.
You can mix the wheatgrass shots and
here are a couple of delicious recipes.
When juicing Wheatgrass, Barley
Grass or Alfalfa Juice, place a bunch
of wheatgrass (about 3cm diameter)
‘tips down’ into the feeding chute.
Feed carrots and other desired
fruits or vegetables into the chute
for a milder tasting combination
for those who haven’t tried pure
wheatgrass juice before.

Fresh nut butters in any combination are
an ideal spread for sandwiches, base for
satay, dressings or as part of a delicious dip.
Almost any variety of nuts can produce
nut butter. Some varieties of nuts don’t
have high oil content so if you want a
creamy butter, add nut or olive oil until
you reach the desired consistency.
Another hint for a creamy butter is to pour
in the nuts slowly and alternatively, for
crunchy nut paste pour in the nuts faster.
Relatively soft nuts such as peanuts, pine
nuts, macadamias and cashews may be
poured in without soaking, while harder
nuts must be soaked for around 8 hours.
When nuts are soaked, the nuts become
‘activated’ and the enzyme inhibitors are
rinsed away and they are easier to digest.
Peanut Butter
INGREDIENTS
2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
olive oil
vitamin c powder
(sodium ascorbate)
Using the mincing strainer slowly add
the peanuts while machine is running.
Stop the machine and add the Vitamin
C powder and enough olive oil to
the peanut paste to make a nice soft
spreading consistency.

2 cups almonds soaked,
rinsed and drained
1 cup unsulphured dried fruits
such as dates, raisins
and apricots*
½ cup dessicated coconut
Using the mincing strainer, mince
almonds, alternating with the dried
fruit. Form into balls and roll in
coconut. For variation, use different
nuts, carob powder, natural vanilla
essence or peppermint oil.
Peanut Balls
INGREDIENTS
2 cups peanuts
1 cup sesame seeds
4 apricots
2 tbsp honey
juice of half an orange
Mix peanuts, apricots, honey, juice
and 1 cup sesame seeds in bowl.
Using the mincing strainer, feed
through the chute. Roll paste into
balls and into remaining sesame
seeds.

The BioChef Axis can extrude pasta
simply by replacing the juicing
screen with the mincing screen.
The pasta dough bypasses the juice
outlet and is pushed out through
the drum cap and one of the pasta
nozzles supplied.
Freshly made pasta is such a treat,
so much so that you may find it
difficult to eat packet pasta ever
again. You also know exactly what is
going into the mix. There are many
varieties of ingredients you can try,
mixing in beetroot, carrot or other
types of vegetable juice to give a
vibrant colour.
Tips for pasta making
• Add an egg and a few drops of
olive oil to your mixture to help
prevent it from sticking together.
• Have a floured tray to lay it on
when it comes out of the machine.
• If making spelt or semolina pasta,
reduce the amount of flour used or
the dough will be too stiff.
Pasta
Firstly set up your Axis with the
mincing screen and desired nozzle
for fettuccine or round noodle. On
a clean kitchen bench or in a large
bowl, pour out a couple of cups of
organic flour.
Add half a cup of warm water or
vegetable juice and ½ teaspoon
of sea salt (which acts as a rising
agent). Keep the mixture dry, not
too sticky. Break into balls and feed
into the chute. As the strands of
pasta come out of the machine, cut
them off and lay on the floured tray.
Repeat the process until dough is
used. Cook noodles in boiling water
for 3–5 minutes and drain.
Boiled Rice Noodle
An ideal way to use left over rice is to
make rice noodles. Mix rice in a bowl
together with a little sea salt and
warm water.
Feed the mixture into the machine
and cut at desired length. Cook in
boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Add
desired vegetables and Asian sauces.

What a wonderful way to use
excess fruit by freezing and making
delicious ice creams and sorbet style
desserts.
• Freeze fruit without skins, stones or
seeds and cut into pieces that fit
into the feeding chute.
• Remove frozen fruit from the
freezer ten minutes before you
plan to use them so the hard ice
crystals have melted.
• Mixing frozen banana with
other fruits will give a creamy
consistency.
• For sorbets use any frozen fruit
without bananas and let your
imagination flow free.
Blueberry Spider
3 oranges (peeled)
¾ cup frozen blueberries
½ frozen banana
First place the juicing strainer over
the auger.
Juice the oranges and fill 2 glasses,
then make a blueberry-banana ice
cream by letting the frozen fruit
run through the mincing function
twice (when you change over to the
mincing function you don’t have to
clean the machine).
Take 2 ice cream scoops with a
spoon and place them gently
into the orange juice and serve
immediately.
Coco Mango
Icecream
INGREDIENTS
2 frozen mangos
2 frozen bananas
½ cup fresh coconut cut into pieces
½ cup frozen dates
Using the mincing strainer, alternate
all ingredients into the feeding chute
and mix well.
You may refreeze this nutritious,
delicious treat.
Maca Fruit
Icecream
INGREDIENTS
2 cups frozen fruit such as
strawberry, mango
or pineapple
3 frozen bananas
½ cup soaked and drained
macadamias
1 tsp natural vanilla essence
Using the mincing strainer, alternate
the fruit, bananas and macadamias.
Quickly stir in the vanilla and enjoy.
Sweet Treats
27
Soak soybeans, rice and/or nuts
in water (nuts and soybeans for a
minimum of 8 hours).
Rinse and drain. Make a mixture
of beans, nuts, rice, water and if
desired, fruit / vegetables.
Using the mincing screen, feed
the mixture into the chute
simultaneously with a small amount
of water.
This works best using a large spoon
and scooping the mixture from a
container.
To reduce sediment, place a sieve
over the collection bowl or strain
through a muslin cloth.
This will make flavoured bean, nut
or rice milk. If using soybeans, the
resulting mixture can be used to
make tofu. For flavoured milks, try
the following ideas…
• add berries, banana and other
fruits
• add a small amount of salt and/or
sweetener eg; raw honey or maple
syrup
• add vanilla and a pinch of cumin,
nutmeg, cinnamon or cardamom
Tofu Recipe
• Add a small amount of salt to soy
juice if you haven’t already and boil
while stirring continuously.
• Add the curdling agent
(coagulant) to the boiled soy juice
and let stand for 4-5 minutes while
it curdles.
• Remove the excess water by
squeezing it with clean, food-
grade muslin.
