In choosing the Champion 2000+ Juicer, you’ve taken an important
step towards a healthy lifestyle. Countless studies show that a high intake
of fruits and vegetables can lower the incidence of heart problems, cancer
and the degenerative diseases of aging. The evidence is so convincing,
in fact, that the US Recommended Daily intake of fruits and vegetables
has increased.
The Champion 2000+ Juicer includes a number of features that bring
the power and durability of commercial juicers directly to your kitchen
countertop. Fresh, wholesome fruit and vegetable juices of the highest
quality have never been easier to prepare. It’s a quality you can see in the
color of the juice itself; darker, richer colors contain more of the pigments
- and nutrients - you desire, while the extracted pulp is pale in color.
Rest assured, it’s a quality you can taste. Champion juices will likely be
richer, sweeter and more full bodied than any juice you’ve tasted before.
For nearly a half century, we’ve continually refined our Champion juicers
and enhanced their capabilities to extract every ounce of nutrition and
flavor from the fruits, vegetables and grains you enjoy the most.
It’s a quality you can see; it’s a quality you can taste.

Important Safeguards
When using the Champion 2000+ Juicer, basic safety precautions should always be
practiced including the following:
1. Read all assembly and operating
instructions prior to use. Incorrect assembly
and/or operation of the juicer can cause
difficulty in operating the juicer safely
and/or efficiently.
2. To protect against electrical hazards,
do not immerse motor or base in water or

Assembly Instructions
STEP 1
Slide the cutter onto the motor shaft. Make sure the shaft is lubricated with olive oil
or coconut oil. DO NOT USE other liquid oils, butter, margarine or petroleum jelly. ,
The cutter may stop about 1/4-inch onto the motor shaft; rotate the cutter slightly in
either direction so the flat edge of the motor shaft will match the flat edge of the
cutter hole. It will then slide on easily.
STEP 2
Slide the body over the cutter, holding it in a horizontal position, with the feeding
chamber down.
STEP 3
Place the screen (or blank) into the recessed grooves of the body and hold it in position
with one hand. Slide the screen holder over the screen. Hold the edge of the screen
down for easier starting. The screen holder will slide over the screen only one way.
The end of the screen holder with the magnet is the starting end. Slide the screen
holder completely forward until the raised lip contacts the body slides.
Special Instructions for the Cutter
The cutter can become sticky or vacuum locked on the motor shaft. To prevent this,
we recommend applying a thin film of olive or coconut oil to the motor shaft. After juicing,
remove parts and clean them thoroughly with cold water. Do not place the cutter on the
motor shaft until you are ready to juice again. Store the cutter in a cloth or paper towels
to prevent injury and damage. Avoid letting water enter the shaft hole at the base of
the cutter. If water enters the hole, store the cutter vertically with the base end down.

Assembly Instructions
STEP 4
Pull the body forward slightly, so it is completely clear of the prongs on the motor hub.
Rotate the body one notch to the left, (counter clock-wise), and match the openings
in the back of the body with the prongs on the motor hub. Slide the body all the way
back and turn it to the left until it stops. It is now properly assembled for juicing.
STEP 5
Plug into power outlet.
STEP 6
To homogenize, unplug the juicer and replace the screen with the blank.
STEP 7
Add the funnel when using small feeding materials such as berries and nuts. Do not
use the funnel when juicing large foods.
If the Champion 2000+ Juicer doesn’t operate at this point, all parts may
not have been assembled properly. The screen (or blank) holder must be
assembled correctly for the motor to operate. Unplug and reassemble
carefully, following the complete instructions.
Disassembly
After shutting off the juicer, disconnect the power cord. Rotate the body clockwise
until the body notches and the hub prongs are aligned. Jiggle the body slightly and
remove. The screen (or blank), screen holder and cutter should slide off easily.
However, if the cutter becomes vacuum locked, use a small screwdriver to pry forward.
A build-up of pulp behind the cutter and against the motor hub is normal.

Cleaning Badly
Stained Parts
If the parts are yellowed or
stained from excessive use, follow
this procedure:
Make a solution of one part
liquid bleach and seven parts cold
water (example: 1 cup bleach and7 cups water) in a plastic or glass
container.
All parts* may be soaked in
this solution as often as needed.
After about one hour, stains should
be removed. Badly stained parts
may require additional soaking to
remove the stain completely.
After all the stains are removed,
wash and rinse the parts thoroughly.
The solution may not clean a
badly clogged screen. We recommend soaking the screen in pure
olive oil.
Cleaning Instructions
Wash the nylon juicer parts immediately after juicing. Use only cold water and soap
for cleaning the parts. Never wash nylon parts in hot water. Do not place in dishwasher.
The juicer body, screen, blank and screen holder may be soaked or submerged in
soapy water.
Cleanser containing bleach may be used to remove stubborn food stains.
All food particles must be removed from the screen pores. Do not allow food to harden
on the screen. Scrub the screen with a stiff bristle brush.
The cutter may be cleaned with cleanser or dishwashing liquid. Scrub with a nylon
brush to remove any remaining food particles. The bottom of the cutter should be
wiped clean with a sponge or cloth.*
The motor can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth, dipped in warm, soapy water.
Do not poke the oil seal in the hub with any sharp instrument; clean this part with a
paper towel, soft cloth or toothbrush. Do not submerge the motor in water.
* Some moisture may be trapped inside of the cutter. After cleaning, allow the cutter to
air dry before re-assembly. For best results do not re-assemble until use. Avoid letting
water enter the shaft hole at the base of the cutter. If water enters the hole, store the
cutter vertically with the base end down.

General Juicing Procedures
To juice, the screen must be inserted. Place a bowl below the screen holder to catch
the juice and a second bowl under the tapered end to catch the pulp.
Preparation of vegetables and fruits
Choose only the freshest produce. Wash and rinse everything thoroughly and cut off
any damaged sections or tough ends. Leave most peels on. Chilled produce results in
better tasting juice.
There is no need to cut or chop the produce into small pieces unless they are too
large to fit in the feeding chamber. For best results use the largest pieces of fruits and
vegetables that will fit into the feeding chamber.
Feeding Process
Feed most vegetables and fruit at a steady medium speed, holding down the tamper
a few seconds between each piece. As the food is fed into the machine the pulp
should discharge out the tapered end. If the tamper backs up more than 3/4 of an
inch after releasing it, hold it down a few seconds longer to eliminate more pulp and
prevent clogging. Strain the juice to remove any excess sediment or foam.
Prepare only the amount of juice to be consumed within a 24 hour period.
Wet Pulp
Pulp from the first two or three vegetables fed into the juicer may contain more
moisture than normal. Re-feed the pulp to obtain the maximum amount of the juice.
Unusually wet pulp is caused by a clogged screen or too rapid feeding. Turn off the
juicer, remove the screen and clean it with a stiff bristle brush. Re-assemble the juicer
and continue juicing. Fruit pulp is naturally wetter than vegetable pulp. When using
extra juicy fruit or vegetables, reduce feeding speed.
Always wash the screen after juicing to keep it clean and free of any pulp residue.
Overloading the
Juicer
If overloaded, the juicer will
make a clicking sound. It merely
indicates that the juicer was
being fed at too rapid a pace or the
tamper hasn’t been held down
long enough between pieces.
Unclog the juicer by holding the tamper down with
one hand and applying
downward pressure on the
tapered end of the body
with your other hand.
If clogged while juicing carrots,
feed a large carrot into the feeding
chamber while applying
pressure on the tapered
end of the body.

Vegetable Juices
Beet Juice
Cut beets into sections to fit the feeding
chamber. Beet tops may also be used.
Feed at a steady pace.
Cabbage Juice
Any type of cabbage, head or loose leaf,
brussel sprouts, kale, or collard may be
used. Feed the cabbage at a steady pace.
Hold the tamper down 5 to 10 seconds
between charges. Since cabbage is over
90% liquid, there will be very little pulp
discharge. Cabbage juice should be
consumed immediately. Within a few
minutes after cabbage juice is made, it
will oxidize and have a strong odor. Do
not store cabbage juice.
Carrot Juice
Juice whole carrots one at a time. Do not
peel the carrots. Feed at a steady pace.
Straight carrot juice is an excellent drink.
It also is a popular base for many
blended juice combinations.
Celery Juice
Cut stalks into 3-4 inch pieces. Feed at
a steady speed, holding down the tamper
5-10 seconds each time. There will be
lesser amounts of pulp with celery. If
juicing large quantities of celery, stop
the machine after each bunch, remove
juicer parts, rinse them in cold water,
replace and proceed again.
Cucumber Juice
Cucumbers will juice very fast. Remove
bitter ends, and if desired, some or all
of the peel. Juice at a steady speed.
Potato Juice
All varieties of potatoes may be juiced,
such as new potatoes. All may be
peeled if desired. Cut into slices to fit
the feeding chamber and juice at a
steady pace. Let new potato juice set
for a few minutes to allow starch to
settle at the bottom. Juice can then be
poured off. Potato juice may be consumed straight or mixed with other
juices. It is an excellent base for stews
and soups. Do not keep over 24 hours
unless cooked.
Tomato Juice
Feed tomato slices at a steady pace.
Seeds and peels will be discharged with
the pulp. Tomato juice can be cooked,
canned or frozen. DO NOT store
tomatoes in anything metallic or jars
with metal lids.

Vegetable and Fruit Juices
Wheat Grass Juice
Cut the grass in 2 inch lengths. Juice
the wheat grass a small amount at a
time, alternating with a small amount
of water until all grass is juiced. For a
tasty nutritious drink, add six walnuts
and four cups of carrot juice. Leafy
greens can only be run in small
amounts.
Apple Juice
Core apples and cut into sections to fit
the feeding chamber. It is not necessary
to peel the fruit. Juice the sections at a
steady pace.
Berry Juice
Any type of berry may be used. Remove
any stems or bad berries. Use the funnel
at the top of the feeding chamber when
juicing small fruit. Seeds will automatically be discharged. Some berries will
juice thick like puree. Add water if desired.
Berry juices are excellent for drinking
or use in desserts, toppings or jellies.
Cherry Juice
Remove stems and pits. Use the funnel
at the top of the feeding chamber when
juicing small fruit. Juice at a steady pace.
Citrus Juice: Orange,
Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime
Peel the fruit. (If desired, limes or lemons
with thin skins may be juiced unpeeled.)
Cut into sections to fit the feeding
chamber and juice at a steady pace.
Concentrated citrus juice may be diluted
with water for drinking.
10
Fruit Juices
Grape Juice
Discard stems and any damaged grapes.
Use the funnel at the top of the feeding
chamber for juicing small fruit. Any
variety of grapes may be used, but for
best results, use seedless grapes. The
skins and most seeds will be removed
when juicing, however, some larger grape
seeds may be masticated with the grapes.
This can alter the taste of the juice.
Grape seeds that are extremely hard may
blemish the insides of the nylon parts.
If large amounts of grape juice with seeds
will be made regularly it is advisable to
purchase an alternate set of parts.
(Contact Plastaket Mfg Co. for further
information.) Strain grape juice to remove
excess sediment. Grape juice separates
very quickly. Drink the juice soon after
it is extracted if possible. If it separates,
shake vigorously before consuming.
11
Kiwi Juice
Remove stem end of kiwi. Peeling is
optional. Cut in half to fit the feeding
chamber. Juice at a steady pace. Kiwi
juice may be combined with citrus juice
for refreshing drinks. Kiwi juice will be
thick like a puree.
Melon Juice
Most types of melons will juice easily.
Remove rinds and cut into slices to fit
the feeding chamber. Feed at a steady
pace. Seeds may also be juiced. For a
more refreshing drink, chill melons
well before juicing.
Pear Juice
Core pears and cut into sections to fit
the feeding chamber. It is not necessary
to peel the fruit. Juice the sections at a
steady pace. Pears must be firm and
fresh; not mealy.
Pineapple Juice
Remove outside rind of the pineapple.
Cut into sections to fit the feeding
chamber. Juice at a steady pace.
Mixed Vegetable and Fruit Drinks
These tasty and refreshing drinks should be consumed within 24 hours. Add some seasonings for variation: hot pepper,
cinnamon, nutmeg, celery seed, ground pepper, ground cumin. To add sweetness, add a tablespoon or two of raisins, dates
or chopped figs to the drinks as you juice them.
