The housing of the champion may get warm to the touch in some instances. Yes, the champion juicer works on the mastication process, which causes some friction. I have heard that the champion has a tendency to get heated up with can ruin some of the health benefits of fresh juice? The passage ways on the champion are the large enough so that a special brush is not required. I reccomend using a "bottle" brush that is available from most grocery stores for about $1.00. There is no "specific" brush for the champion. Is there a clean up brush available for the champion? but can be done with the blank plate that is included with the Champion Juicer. The champion is great for mushing up foods (with the blank plate) - the blank plate is sure handy! Some people think about "milling" soaked (sprouted grains) it wont work in the champion grain mill (its designed for dry grains). if a finer consistency is desired, you can run it through twice. For sprouted (wet grains) you should use the blank plate. Dry grains for pancakes and waffles, muffins and the such can be made with the grain mill attachment. Yes, you can put nuts through the champion to make nut butters with the blank plate in. (We suggest using coconut oil, its available in most health food stores)Ĭan I use the Champion to grind nuts with the blank plate in? Yes, the manufacturer does suggest to lube the motor shaft (the motor is oil free) with coconut oil or olive oil after each use, or the cutting blade may get stuck on the shaft (which is hard to get unstuck). I have been thinking about purchasing a Champion juicer but have heard that it needs to be oiled after every cleaning? If its not that then call the manufacturer. Also check to ensure the spout piece is assembled correctly on the housing. Be sure that this is installed correctly. If you look in the "spout" piece, you will see something riveted on, its a little case, that holds a small cylinderical magnet, that actives the magentic switch behind the hub. This will prevent the machine from coming on. The main thing that goes wrong with the champion, is the magenet that is used for the magnetic saftey switch comes out and/or the magnet gets dislodged.
