IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read all instructions.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions. Use this product only as described in this manual.
• Keep the packaging material (cardboard, plastic, etc.) out of the reach of children (danger of asphyxiation or injury).
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, or Grinder in water or other liquid.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Unplug Grinder from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
• Grinder must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact OXO Customer Service at (800) 545-4411. Do not return to store.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by OXO may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Check the bean hopper for presence of foreign objects before using.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to the off position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not put any substances other than coffee beans and grinder cleaner into the Grinder.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Do not touch internal parts while Grinder is in use/plugged in.
• This appliance is intended for household use only. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Do not use outdoors.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the bottom cover. Doing so will void the warranty. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.

Shock Hazard:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. Do not plug this appliance into an outlet with a voltage other than specified on the bottom of this appliance.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use any high wattage appliance on the same circuit as this appliance. This Grinder is not intended for use by children, persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have received supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Meet Your Grinder

Before You Begin

1. Remove all packaging
2. Clean and wash all parts For detailed cleaning instructions
   Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals or spray cleaners.
3. Replace stainless steel plate and grounds container
4. Plug in Grinder and zero the scale

Water/Coffee Ratio

OXO recommends using approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee per cup (5 fl oz). Coffee dosage recommendations are based on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Golden Cup Standard designed for optimal extraction and strength.

1 OXO scoop = approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee.

Strength Adjuster

The Grinder defaults to grind 8 grams per cup in the center position. To adjust the amount, move the Strength Adjuster to the right to add more ground coffee, or to the left for less. Each position of the Strength Adjuster represents a change of one gram per cup. For example, if you want 9 g per cup, you would move the Strength Adjuster one click to the right. For 7 g, you would move it one click to the left.

Note: The Strength Adjuster only works in Cups Mode.

Using Your Grinder

1. Select Grind Size Setting
   Rotate hopper to adjust grind size. (1 = fine, 15 = coarse) Slide the Strength Adjuster to your desired position.
   Note: If beans are in the hopper, adjust the grind size while motor is running to prevent jamming.
2. Fill Hopper with Coffee Beans
   Remove hopper lid and fill with coffee beans. Replace lid.
3. Zero Scale
   Ensure stainless steel plate and grounds container are centered on the plate and zero the Scale.
   Note: You will need to zero the scale on a regular basis to ensure the Grinder is working properly.
4. Choose Amount and Press OXO Button to Start
   Choose number of cups or grams with dial and press OXO button to start grinding.

Grind Size Recommendations

Amount of grounds will vary based on type of bean and grind size setting used. Use a scale or the scoop to weigh or measure grounds. A level scoop holds approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee, perfect for one cup.

Switching Between Grinding Modes

Press & hold button for 1 second to enter mode menu

Twist & press to select preferred grinding mode

Note: When you plug in Grinder, it will default to Cups mode.

Zeroing and More

To Zero Scale or Switch Grounds Container
If you prefer to use your own container and/or grinder without the steel plate, you will need to set the scale to zero with the container on the scale. Once finished, the Grinder will now read the new container and will display a "0 g" or "0 ". If you change the container again, repeat the steps above with the new container.

Place container on the base

Press & hold button until 3 second countdown starts

Release button when countdown reaches 0

Notes

• Grinder will default to last mode used.
• When in Cups Mode or Grams Mode, make sure to place the stainless steel plate, container, and lid on the base. Otherwise, the Grinder will not work properly.
• Do not touch the container or shake the Grinder while grinding, as it will affect the reading on the scale.
• You cannot adjust the number of cups or grams while grinding, but you can stop the grinding process at any time by pushing the OXO button, and then adjust the amount.
• Grinder will go into sleep mode after 20 seconds of no activity.

Caring for Your Grinder

Let the Grinder Cool

Allow Grinder to cool for at least 2 minutes after each use. Do not operate this appliance for longer than 4 minutes at a time to prevent overheating. Allow the appliance to cool down 10-15 minutes after long operation. If the motor overheats, the Grinder will stop working and the display will show a 30 minute countdown. Wait until the countdown has ended before using the Grinder again.

Clear Chute Between Uses

If you don't grind regularly, make sure to clear the ground coffee from the chute before each use.

Use Fresh Beans

Old/dry beans will create static which can result in dust sticking to walls of Grinder. Do not store beans in the bean hopper for an extended period of time. We recommend grinding only coffee in this Grinder.

Hand wash hopper, grounds container and steel plate. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning Your Grinder

Always unplug your Grinder before cleaning it. Any service or maintenance other than cleaning or descaling should be performed by an authorized service representative.

4. Clean burrs and grounds chute
   Use a small bristle brush. Ensure burrs are clear of beans. Never use water or other liquids to clean the inside of the Grinder/burrs.
   Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals or spray cleaner chemicals to clean. These may damage the surface of the appliance. Do not put any part of your Grinder in the dishwasher.
