Operating Instructions
Adjusting Grind Size
The OXO Good Grips Pepper Grinder offers five adjustable grind settings. To change the coarseness, locate the sliding tab near the top of the grinder. Slide the tab to align with your desired grind size, indicated by the dots on the grinder. A smaller dot corresponds to a finer grind, while a larger dot indicates a coarser grind.

Grinding Pepper
Once the desired grind size is set, hold the grinder firmly and twist the top section. The ceramic grinding mechanism will crush the peppercorns, dispensing freshly ground pepper from the top. This top-dispensing design ensures that no residual pepper is left on your table or countertop after use.
