THE WORLD’S FINEST
Champion® 2000
Juicer
Congratulations!
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.

12.Do not put your fingers or other objects into the juicer openings while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the feeding chamber, use another piece of vegetable or fruit to push it down. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off, unplug juicer cord and disassemble juicer to remove the remaining food.
13.Do not let the cord hang over edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

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.
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 and 7 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 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.
