Frequently Asked Questions - TE-T56U SHARP

How to make boiling tea with the <b>HOT</b> mode?

Fill the water tank with cold water to the desired level. Add powdered tea to the container (for 2 cups, 2 teaspoons). Select HOT by pressing MODE once, then press START. Boiled water is automatically poured into the container and mixed. Use the dispensing lever to pour the tea.

How to prepare a <b>latte</b>?

Open the container lid. Pour milk (preferably whole) up to the desired latte line. Add powdered tea (for 1 cup, 3-4 teaspoons). Close the lid, insert the container into the main unit. Select LATTE (3 presses on MODE) and press START. Never use the water tank for latte.

How to make <b>iced tea</b>?

Open the container lid. Pour cold water up to the desired iced tea line. Add powdered tea (for 1 cup, 1 teaspoon). Close the lid, insert the container. Select LATTE (3 presses on MODE) and press START. Do not use the water tank.

How to <b>grind tea leaves</b> with the mortar?

Remove the mortar from the main unit. Set the dial to FINE (for drinking) or COARSE (for cooking). Add tea leaves to the mortar (see quantity table). Replace the mortar, select the quantity with the GRIND button, then press START. Tap the lid after grinding to collect the powder.

What to do if the tea mortar <b>stops suddenly</b> and all indicators flash?

This indicates that the upper unit and lower mortar are stuck together. Disassemble the mortar (page F-5), clean powder residue with the provided brush, then reassemble. If the problem persists, let it cool before reuse.

How to <b>clean and descale</b> the machine?

Clean removable parts (tank, container, mortar) with a soft sponge and mild soap (not dishwasher). For descaling: fill water tank to MAX, add 1 tablespoon of citric acid, run the HOT mode, then rinse several times with clean water.

How to <b>disable the beeps</b>?

Ensure the machine is plugged in. Hold down the START button until you hear a beep. Safety alarms remain active. To reactivate the sound, perform the same operation.

What types of tea can be used?

Japanese tea, Chinese tea, and black tea are suitable. Avoid teas containing ingredients other than leaves (rice, barley, etc.) and pre-powdered teas. Long leaves should be broken into small pieces before grinding.

Why doesn't the water <b>boil fast enough</b> or drain completely?

This is a sign of scale. Perform descaling with citric acid as described in the manual (page F-20). Scale builds up with frequent use, especially with hard water.

What to do if the <b>dispensing lever</b> does not work or leaks?

Check that the rubber gasket at the bottom of the container is properly in place and clean. Clean it by holding the lever down under running water. Make sure the lever is unlocked before dispensing. If the leak persists, contact an authorized technician.

2. Do not remove the rubber seal and the lid cover by force.

Rotary Blade

Removal

Carefully pull out the rotary blade. (It may be firmly attached to the container)

Installation

Carefully push the rotary blade onto the projection that is at the bottom of the container.

Projection

NOTE:

To prevent misplacement or accidental swallowing, do not forget to reinstall the rotary blade after cleaning.

Tea Mortar

After Use

Disassemble the Tea Mortar. (See page E-5) Remove the remaining powdered tea using the supplied cleaning brush. After cleaning, re-assemble the parts. (See page E-21)

NOTE:

Never separate the upper mortar unit and lower mortar with force.

Monthly Maintenance

Disassemble the Tea Mortar. (See page E-5) Remove the remaining powdered tea using the supplied cleaning brush. Then wash in a mild soap or detergent solution with a soft sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

In the following cases, carry out maintenance before a month has passed:

• The upper mortar unit and lower mortar seem to be clogged, and powdered tea is not coming out smoothly.
• When you wish to grind a different type or flavor of tea leaf.
• All quantity lamps are flashing and the appliance stops grinding. (upper mortar unit and lower mortar may be stuck together)
• An unusual sound is being produced during grinding.
  The Tea Mortar is extremely dirty.
• You will not use the appliance for a long period of time.

When the Upper Mortar unit and Lower Mortar are stuck together

Removing them by force may cause damage to the appliance. Immerse them in warm water and wait until they can be taken apart easily. (standing time: 2 to 3 min.)

After they are separated, remove the powdered tea using the supplied cleaning brush, then wash and dry thoroughly. After drying, re-assemble the parts. (See page E-21)

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.

Air Filter

Monthly Maintenance

Remove the air filter panel from the back of the main unit. Wash in warm or cold water, and wipe dry. Reinstall on the main unit immediately.

Removal

Push the tab to the right.

Installation

Insert the 2 tabs of the air filter panel into the corresponding slits on main unit. Press the air filter until it snaps into place.

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.
9. When 4 beeps sound, remove the container and discard the hot water.
10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 two or three times. After use, disconnect the plug from the outlet.

WARNING:

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

NOTES:

1. Frequency of descending will vary depending on the hardness of the water. If you use hard water (high in mineral content), regular descending is recommended.
2. Pure citric acid is available at numerous drugstores.

Assembling the Tea Mortar

Position the "才元 [front]" side of the spatula face-up and insert it into the tea case. Make sure to align the holes of the spatula with the protrusions of the tea case.
Insert the lower mortar into the tea case. (2-a) Align the holes on the bottom of the lower mortar with the protrusions, rotating the lower mortar slowly until it fits securely. (2-b)

Place the upper mortar unit onto the lower mortar. Align "▼" of the upper mortar unit with the white line "I" of the tea case.

NOTE:

There are three on the upper mortar unit. Match any of them with the white line " | " of the tea case.

Insert the dial into the tea case so that the ridge of the dial align with the white line on the tea case. Then press the dial into the tea case and turn the dial clockwise.

NOTES:

1. If you cannot insert the dial, then steps ① to ③ have not been carried out properly. Re-assemble the Tea Mortar from step ① while paying attention to the following:

2. Spatula: Make sure that "才元 [front]" is face-up.

3. Lower Mortar: Make sure to align the holes on the bottom with the protrusions of the tea case.

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

5. 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.)

Set the lid.
