1. Install on a rigid and level floor.

2. Please use this refrigerator between the room temperature of 10°C to 43°C.

    Sufficient performance may not be obtained, if the room temp

erature is too low or too high. 

3. Do not install where the refrigerator is exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources.

4. Install in an atmosphere which is dry or has air ventilation

.

5. The refrigerator requires enough air ventilation space around the cabinet to have efficient cooling performance.

    Space of at least 5 cm over the top, 5 cm at rear and 1 cm at both sides for proper air circulation is needed.

6. Ground the refrigerator to prevent electric shock and noise interference. Always ground this refrigerator 

    when using it in places with high humidity or moisture. (Please consult with retailers or Hitachi Service Center.)

7. Adjusting the adjustable legs to keep the left/right refrige

rator door level.

■ Without adjusting the legs, door height may not be level, 

        or there may be abnormal vibration or noises depending 

        on floor conditions. Follow the instructions below.

(1) Turn the adjustable legs until they touch the floor firmly.

Beginning

1. Cleaning inside the refrigerator. Wipe the surface gently with soft cloth.

2. Connect the refrigerator to an exclusive wall power outlet.

    The refrigerator can be connected to an outlet soon after i

t is installed. 

    Surely use with the rated voltage and exclusive power outlet.

3. The compressor will start running in approximately 30 seconds, 

     if inside is not cold.

4. Allow enough duration for sufficient cooling before storing food.

    It may take about 4 hours to fully cool down and could even take 

    about 24 hours when the ambient temperature is high.

● Above temperatures are the approximate values in the conditions of outside temperature 32°C, the temperature setting of the refrigerator compartment “Mid”,  

    freezer compartment “Mid”, doors being closed and without f

ood storage.

● Door pocket temperatures may be little higher than above temp

eratures.

● The specification of your purchased model may be different fro

m one of the above illustration. 

1. Keep enough space between food. Several food placed 

    too close together may obstruct the flow of cold air.

2. Make food cool enough before putting it in the refrigerator. 

Putting warm food in the refrigerator raises the inside temperature and wastes electricity.

3. Do not block the cold air vent. This will adversely affect the cold air flow and may not keep

the temperature inside even. Moreover, it could result in food near the vent freezing.

4. Using food wrap or sealed containers prevent the food from drying or transition of smells.
