Vacuum Compartment
For Meat, Fish, Dairy and Processed Foods
Hitachi’s uniquely designed Vacuum Preservation can achieve approximately 0.8atm capabilities, suppressing oxidation, thus ensuring freshness of food while retaining its nutrients. Furthermore, the airtight structure of the compartment confines moisture inside, thus helping to prevent dehydration of stored food.
Freshness Preservation with New
Platinum Catalyst
Odor components from meat and fish are broken down by the Platinum Catalyst to generate carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide dissolves in water on the surface of food items to make the surface weakly acidic, which suppresses enzyme strength to minimize loss of freshness.
2 Temperature Zones
Selecting the Vacuum Sub Zero mode for items such as meat, fish and processed food, and the Vacuum Chilled mode setting for items such as vegetables and tofu let you store food without freezing them. This helps to prevent deterioration of flavor and texture due to freezing.
Aero-care Vege Compartment
The Power of Platinum for Vegetables and Fruits
Uniquely designed to maintain freshness and nutrients in vegetables, the Aero-care Vege Compartment puts food under the power of a Platinum Catalyst, producing increased carbon dioxide to control respiration of vegetables and limiting the consumption of nutrients in the environment to prevent loss of freshness.
In addition, the improved airtight seal of the compartment increases humidity, with the Humidity Control unit also releasing excess moisture, vegetables remain in optimal condition, further ensuring they retain their freshness and nutrients.
Platinum Catalyst
Odor components that come into contact with the catalyst are broken down into carbon dioxide and water.
Energy Saving
A range of technologies such as Frost Recycling Cooling and Vacuum Insulation Panels, new technologies such as Multi-valve Control have been added to further ensure energy-saving performance.
Hitachi Original Flexible Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP)
Large Capacity and Energy Saving
Using the conventional insulation material of urethane foam together with highly efficient vacuum insulation panels enables both large capacity and energy-saving performance.
Hitachi Original Frost Recycling Cooling Technology with Hybrid Defrost
Effective Use of Frost for Cooling
When the compressor isn’t operating, frost formed in the condenser when it was operating is used to cool the refrigerator and vegetable compartments. Frost results in energy consumption, but this is reduced by defrosting with heaters. Cooling with frost in the condenser is based on the same principle as cooling with ice.
Convenient Eco Intelligent Control
Cuts power consumption by about 10 – 12% compared to that during regular operation.
(Room temperature of 16°C – 32°C)*
Save Mode
LED Lighting (Inside the Refrigerator)
Lighting dims when the door has been left open for 30 seconds, to prompt the user to quickly shut the door.
Controlled Compressor Operation
Lowers the rotation speed of the compressor.
Temperature (in Each Compartment)
Slowly cools the compartment without affecting food preservation.
Door Alarm
The alarm sounds when door has been left open for 30 seconds. In normal mode, alarm only sounds when door has been open for 1 minute.
Indications for Smart Use
Operation Sign
This lights up when operation is comparatively stable. It goes out when there is a heavy load on the refrigerator such as during rapid freezing.
