Q: My juicer worked fine the first time but now when I plug it in it doesn't turn on?

A: The newer model Champion Juicers have a sensor located on the juicing parts that will not allow the unit to operate unless all parts are properly positioned (refer to trouble-shooting section of the owner's manual).

Q: My juicer produces warm juice even though I juice as slowly as possible. Why?

A: Warm juice can only be created by operating the unit to slowly. The Champion requires a constant introduction of new material. (Average juice time to make 1qt. = 6 min).

Q: Why does my juicer make a loud clicking noise when I feed vegetables into it?

A: The clicking sound is created by the motor's centrifugal switch. 1st possibility is feeding the unit to aggressively. 2nd possibility could be a dull cutter.

Q: What is the best way to keep my juicer looking new?

A: Good clean up is important. Soaking the parts overnight in a strong solution of dish soap. If stains are extreme add bleach to the solution, then rinse thoroughly.

Q: Is it safe to put my juicer's parts in the dishwasher?

A: NO, these parts are not dishwasher safe. The parts are made from stainless steel and then laminated with nylon. These two materials heat and cool differently and would eventually cause a problem.

Q: I'm moving to a foreign country. Will my juicer work there?

A: Certain models can be rewired to operate in different countries. These models are the commercial and overseas units. If you are unsure of your model, contact our customer service.

Q: What's the difference between the regular screen and the optional large hole screen?

A: It's just like it sounds. The regular screen has holes that are smaller to allow less pulp into the juice. The large hole screen allows a much greater amount of pulp to enter juice. (Approximately 50% more pulp. This will vary depending on material).

Q: Will the grain mill attachment work on my older Champion Juicer?

A: The optional grain mill will work on all Champions produced over the years. Some small size modifications are required for customers having extremely old juicers.

Q: How often should I replace my cutter?

A: The cutter wear is based on usage. Customers using the Champion only occasionally may get 10-15 years of service. With heavy use the cutters need replacement every 18-24 months. If you have concerns our customer service people can assist you.
