INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

Please make reading this Operation Manual your first step prior to using your tea maker. This important booklet explains exactly how the appliance works and what you need to know to operate it successfully.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical power input requirement should be a protected 15amp 120Vac 60 Hz electrical outlet. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Extension Cord

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If a long extension cord is used, its designated electrical rating must be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should also be positioned so that it does not hang over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Additional Important Safeguards

1. Do not touch the plug with wet hands when inserting or removing from the outlet. Plug securely into the electric wall socket and remove by gripping the plug. Never pull on just the cord when unplugging from the wall.

2. Put fresh cold water in the water reservoir. Do not put hot water or any other liquids like milk, in the water reservoir, except as instructed in the operation manual to clean the appliance. With regular use, hard water may clog your tea maker. Carry out descaling is recommended. See page E-20.

3. The appliance should not be left unattended during operation.

4. Do not place anything on the top of appliance during operation.

5. Do not attempt to move the appliance when it contains hot liquids. Allow the appliance to cool completely before moving. Remove the Tea Mortar and tea container before moving.

6. Do not operate the appliance if the water reservoir is cracked and/or leaking water. Contact a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Do not try to adjust or repair the appliance yourself.

8. To prevent burns when the water is boiling: a. Do not touch the tea container. b. Do not put your hands and face directly next to the steam outlet.

9. Do not place or use the appliance under direct sunlight.

10. Do not place or use the appliance anywhere water may splash onto it.

11. Do not insert any objects in the air intake openings.

12. Accessible parts (e.g.: tea container, hot water supply port) will become hot during use. Do not touch them during or immediately after operation.

Changes or modifications to the appliance not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the appliance. NOTE: This appliance has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This appliance generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this appliance does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the appliance off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

・

Increase the separation between the appliance

・

and receiver.

Points to Remember

Tea Leaves



●

A Japanese tea, Chinese tea, and black tea are ﬁt for use. The following items may cause mechanical failure:

 ・Tea made of anything other than tea leaves (e.g.: barley tea, black bean tea)

・Tea that includes anything other than tea leaves (e.g.: brown rice tea)

Long tea leaves that cannot be ground by the Tea Mortar. (They can be used if cut into short pieces)

・・

Tea leaves already ground into powdered form.

For more information, please refer to the attached menu book.

IMPORTANT: Air dry the Tea Mortar (8 hours or more) even after removing moisture with a dry cloth. If any moisture remains, powdered tea may become clogged on the surface of upper and lower tea mortars. This will reduce the amount of powdered tea produced.

Special note for cleaning the Tea Mortar: When drying, do not use electric dish dryers or microwave ovens, etc. Such devices may cause damage to components.

Descaling

(Boiling time : Approx. 5 min)

After frequent use, mineral content from water may build up in the pipe or other parts of the appliance. This is called "scale". If scale becomes an issue, water will begin taking longer to boil or remain in the water reservoir. Remove any scale build-up with the following method:

1. Fill the water reservoir to the MAX mark with fresh cold water. Do not ﬁll past the MAX mark.

2. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of pure citric acid crystals in the water. Stir well. Set the lid and insert into the main unit.

3. Insert the empty container into the main unit. Plug in.

4. Press the MODE button once, and then press the START button.

5. When 4 beeps sound, remove the container and discard the hot water.

6. Fill the water reservoir to the MAX mark with fresh cold water, and set the lid. Insert the water reservoir into the main unit.

7. Insert the empty container into the main unit.

8. Press the MODE button once, and then press the START button.

Repeat steps 6 to 9 two or three times. After use, disconnect

The container and its lid will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, remove while using potholders.

NOTES:

1. Frequency of descaling will vary depending on the hardness of the water. If you use hard water (high in mineral content), regular descaling is recommended.

2. Pure citric acid is available at numerous drugstores.

NOTES:

1. If you cannot insert the dial, then steps  to  have not been carried out properly.

Re-assemble the Tea Mortar from step  while paying attention to the following:

●

Spatula: Make sure that “オモテ[front]” is face-up.

●

Lower Mortar: Make sure to align the holes on the bottom with the protrusions of

the tea case.

●

Upper Mortar unit: Make sure it is in the correct position.

2. We recommended setting the dial to “COARSE” when you store the Tea Mortar. (This prevents the upper mortar unit and lower mortar from sticking together.)
