OWNER’S MANUAL

THE WORLD’S FINEST

Champion 4000 Juicer

Congratulations!

In choosing the Champion 4000 Juicer, you’ve taken an important

step towards a healthy lifestyle. Countless studies show that a diet

rich in 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 4000 Juicer includes a number of features that bring

the power and durability of commercial juicers directly to your

kitchen countertop. Fresh, wholesome vegetable and fruit 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.

The juice extracted by the Champion Juicer will likely be richer,

sweeter and more full bodied than any juice you’ve tasted before.

With the introduction of the Champion 4000 Juicer, we have further

refined and enhanced its capabilities. The Champion 4000 Juicer

extracts even more juice and nutrients than before, while requiring

less space on your countertop.

It’s a quality you can see; it’s a quality you can taste.
