Power-saving VE insulation for boiling plenty of water and keeping it warm with VE insulation

VE is an abbreviation of vacuum electric. The power-saving VE insulation is an economical method of keeping water warm using electric heating and the high-vacuum, double-walled bottle. The high-vacuum, double-walled bottle (VE bottle structure/stainless steel) container has a reliable structure that allows the hot water inside to be kept warm even after the product is unplugged. The hot water is kept at about at least 90°C*1 even when 2 hours have elapsed after the product is unplugged! *2

*1 For PIP-G300.
*2 The hot water in the product gets cold as time passes after it is unplugged.

Double savings in time and energy Energy-saving course (70, 80, 90, 98)

It boils water at the set temperature, saving time and electricity.

Energy-saving boiling:

When the water temperature reaches the set keep-warm temperature, boiling will stop. For example, the water temperature at the end of boiling in the case of the 90°C setting is about 90°C (in the case of keeping warm with vacuum insulation, the water is heated to approximately 98°C and then the heater will be automatically turned off).

Energy-saving heat retention:

When there is no key operation for 2 hours or more, the temperature will be kept 5°C lower than the set temperature (energy-saving keep warm temperature is 95°C when the set temperature is 98°C).

For example,

80:
For ordinary green tea (sencha) Temperature to bring out delicate flavors. For ordinary green tea (sencha), you can bring out the soft aroma and umami component adequately while suppressing the astringency.

90:
For coffee This is most suitable temperature for manual brewing.
The temperature at which the unique bitterness, acidity, and sweetness of coffee can be extracted in the most balanced way.

A diverse range of power-saving menu settings

(1) Keeping warm with vacuum insulation course

The boiled water is kept warm by the insulation of the high-vacuum, double-walled bottle (VE bottle structure/stainless steel) without using electricity (the hot water in the product gets cold as time passes).

(2) Power-saving timer

The power-saving timer can be configured according to the situation, such as when the device is not in use, when going out, and before going to bed. The heater is automatically turned off but the water is kept warm with vacuum insulation. The timer can be set at five levels of 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 hours, and the water will be boiled and then kept warm 1 hour before the timer runs out.

(3) Selection of keep-warm temperatures

The temperature can be set at the desired level (98, 90, 80, 70). The lower the selected temperature is, the more money you can save on electricity.
You can choose the optimum temperature for the purpose of use, such as preparations before starting cooking or making some coffee, tea or formula milk.

“Steamless” feature that is safe and eliminates worries about where to put the product

The steam-catcher structure* that allows steam to turn into water droplets and return into the water boiler, preventing steam from being let out. The structure eliminates the risk of getting scalded by accidental exposure to hot steam and eliminates worries about where to put the product.

*Steam may be emitted from the spout if water is boiled when the main body is warm, such as when boiling water multiple times in succession.
*Vapor volume is reduced, but this does not mean that no vapor is produced.

*Mechanism of the steam-catcher structure

[1] The steamless feature sensor to detect boiling water is incorporated.
The generation of steam when water boils is detected immediately to minimize further creating steam needlessly.

[2] The steam generated during boiling enters from the draw-in entrance and is caught in the steam catcher incorporated into the lid.

[3] The steam is cooled while passing through the cooling passage in the steam catcher.

[4] The cooled steam condenses and turns into water droplets, and then returns into the inner container through the passage.

Slow dispensing

The dispensing speed can be switched between two levels.

Easy-to-operate lever-type electric-powered dispensing

Easy dispensing with easy-to-press lever.

Easy-to-read, big-letter operation panel

Big, easy-to-read letters for easy operation.

Water level gauge with a wide window and red ball

The gauge allows you to easily see the remaining water volume.

Indication of minutes till boil

You can check the estimated minutes till boiling at a glance.

Safe functions

“Prevention of empty burning”

The water boiler detects when it boils dry and shuts off automatically.

“Electric-powered dispensing with auto-lock function”

The water boiler is automatically locked a while after dispensing.

“Tilt lock function”*

Hot water spillage is minimized if the kettle is tilted.

“Lock function”*

Hot water spillage is minimized if the kettle tips over.

“Child lock”

All keys can be locked so that small children cannot operate them.

*Notes
“For electric-powered dispensing” Even when the operation keys are in the locked state (dispensing function is disabled), tilting or tipping over the main body may cause hot water to come out from the spout, which can cause scalding.
