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.
