Setup
The OXO Good Grips Heavy Duty Garlic Press requires no assembly. Before first use, wash the garlic press thoroughly with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry completely.
- Unpack the garlic press from its packaging.
- Inspect the unit for any damage. If damaged, do not use and contact customer support.
- Wash the garlic press before its initial use.
Operating Instructions
Using the garlic press is a simple two-step process:
- Prepare Garlic: Open the garlic press handles. Place one or more peeled garlic cloves into the large-capacity chamber. The press is designed to accommodate multiple cloves simultaneously.
- Press Garlic: Firmly squeeze the handles together. The die-cast zinc construction and soft, non-slip handles provide leverage and absorb pressure, making it easy to mince garlic. The minced garlic will emerge through the perforated plate.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your garlic press.
- Remove Skins and Pulp: After pressing, flip the top handle over. The built-in cleaner, a red grid on the handle, will push out any leftover garlic skins and pulp from the perforated plate. This feature significantly simplifies manual cleaning.
- Washing: The garlic press is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Alternatively, rinse it under running water immediately after use to prevent garlic residue from drying and hardening. Use a small brush if necessary to clear any remaining particles from the holes.

Troubleshooting
- Garlic Not Fully Minced: Ensure cloves are properly positioned within the chamber. Apply firm, steady pressure. For very large cloves, consider pressing them individually.
- Garlic Residue Stuck in Holes: Utilize the built-in cleaner by flipping the handle. If residue persists, use a toothpick or a small brush to dislodge it under running water.
