A Note About Safety

3
•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.

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.

Coffee 8 g 16 g 24 g 32 g 40 g 48 g 56 g 64 g 72 g 80 g 88 g 96 g
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.

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.
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.
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.
