Please arrange it as shown below
● The floor should be sturdy and flat.
Lay a board with 1cm thickness on the floor if the refrigerator is installed on the carpet, tatami mat, flooring or PVC sheet flooring which
may be hollow or discolor.
● Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat.
● Do not place it in damp areas, and ensure good air ventilation.
This will reduce adverse effects to refrigerating power and keep electricity cost down. This will also
prevent the refrigerator from discoloring and rusting.
● The place should be separated from other equipments.
To prevent disturbance (noise / scattered image) to TV and others attributable to the refrigerator.
※ To cool efficiently, allow enough space around the refrigerator for radiating heat.
※
The actual size of the center part of the side of the refrigerator
’
s main body is slightly larger than the
nominal size. Therefore, please allow enough space around when installing the refrigerator.
※
The back of the refrigerator can be placed very close to the wall.
If you care about vibrating sound or dew condensation on the rear or discoloration of or dirt on a wall due to high humidity,
install the refrigerator so as t
o form
a gap of 2 cm or more
.
Fix the refrigerator
The adjustable mounts, which are located in the front bottom corners of the refrigerator, can be adjusted by turning
them to level the refrigerator. (Make sure to use a supplied tool and 2 cushions)
Adjusting the refrigerator adjustable mount to keep it level
● Installing the refrigerator on an unlevel floor or sinking of its leg(s) due to a floor which is not strong enough to support the weight of food
may cause a difference in level between the right and left doors.
This does not affect the refrigerator function. Adjust the refrigerator adjustable mount to keep it level according to the procedure listed
below if you want to correct it.
Correcting any left/right lean and lifting slightly the front side of the refrigerator until the door can cl
ose easily and completely.
BEFORE USE
Preparation before use
To remove leg cover, hold both
ends of it and pull it towards you
by applying some force.
With the supplied tool, turn an adjustable mount on the side
so that the refrigerator is lower to make the Refrigerator
Compartment door level.
The height of the door can be adjusted 1mm every one turn of the adjustable mount.
Insert the fork of the leg cover into the
mounting holes to attach the cover.
Depending on the material or strength of a floor
on which the refrigerator is installed or the weight
of food put in it, a door may sag in several days
(about five days) after the installation.
If this happens, adjust the parallelism between the
doors again.
Place pads under the adjustable
mounts.
Place pads under the adjustable mounts
evenly so that they can be leveled.
Lower both adjustable mounts
(left and right) by turning them
to secure the refrigerator.
Clamp the supplied tool adjusting to
the shape of the adjustable mounts.
● Always wipe the adjustable mounts and floor clean before placing pads. Adherents may scratch the floor if they remain.
● Be careful not to scratch the floor with the supplied tool when turning the adjustable mount.
● Excessively turning an adjustable mount may cause it to detach.

● If you wish to install the refrigerator in a hot spring area exposed to sulfide gas, you may need to apply anti-rust
treatment to the piping. Contact your dealer in advance. Failure caused by sulfide gas will not be covered under
guarantee.
● After inserting the power plug into a wall outlet, you will hear noise from the refrigerator, which is preparing for
operation. You may also hear a louder no
ise from the compressor or fan until the inside is cooled down enough.
● It may give off a smell of plastics in the beginning when you start to use. Keep the room well-
ventilated. Such smell will disappear gradually.
● Do not peel off the seal on the back or plastics at the lower part of the side.
● When a magnet or suction cup is attached on the side of the body or the surface of a door, it may
leav
e a mark.
● When you attach a paper sheet on the door surface in a high ambient temperature, dew may
form on the door surface, or the paper may absorb moisture.
Notice
Cooling inside the refrigerator starts.
●
It may take more than 4 hours
to cool well the inside of the refrigerator, depending on conditions such as the ambient
temperature or storage state of foods. It may
take 24 hours or more in summer, etc.
Do not put ice cream, uncooled foods or perishable foods in it until the inside of the refrigerator is cooled well.

It is recommended that you should cool it down to a temperature that allows you to hold it with your hand.
Notice
Notice
Just by placing a food item in the Delicious Freezing Space, the sensor detects it and
automatically toggles to the cooling operation. It can freeze food more quickly, boosted by
the effect of the aluminum tray.
Wrap a food item with food plastic film or put it in a freezing bag and then place it on the aluminum tray.
Dividing a food item into small lumps and flattening them allows the cen
ter of each lump to be frozen
quickly and facilitates the taking-out of the frozen food.
You can enable or disable the Delicious Freezing function. The function is enabled when shipped from the factory.
When you want to freeze a lot of food that you have bought at a time quickly, enhance the ability to cool the Freezer Compartment.

Stored foods
●
In the Upper space, Lower space, or Tall Storage Compartment, the state of preservation may vary due to the amount, variety, or
freshness of stored vegetables.
●
Since the Vegetable Compartment is highly humid, dew may be condensed on the surface of the case and the Moisture Unit and Cover.
●
The Tall Storage Compartment may have temperature slightly higher than that of other spaces.
Notice
Upper space
Unfi nished vegetables, small vegetables, fruits, etc.
Tall Storage Compartment
Tall vegetables, 2L PET bottle, etc.
Lower space
Leaf vegetables (spinach, Japanese Mustard Spinach etc.), large vegetables (cabbage, lettuce), etc.
● Since the Vegetable Compartment is highly humid, dew may be condensed on the Upper and Lower Cases and the surface of
vegetables, depending on the volume or type of vegetables, but it is normal. Water pool, if any, is likely to damage food, so wipe it
off with a soft cloth.
●
If the moisture unit is blocked by a bag or container of foods, dew is formed easily. Move out the bag or container of foods from there
.
● If you feel uneasy about dew condensation, wrap the foods.
● When storing dried foods such as rice, laver and others in the Vegetable Compartment, put them in a sealed container (bag) and
then place them in the Vegetable Compartment. Dried foods may absorb the moisture.
● When the Vegetable Compartment contains a small quantity of vegetables, high humidity cannot be maintained. Wrap a veg
etable
with plastic food wrap before storing it in the refrigerator.

Severe warning signs for Disposal
● Instead of CFCs, hydrocarbons are used in the coolants and insulation materials used in this refrigerator.
Hydrocarbons do not damage the ozone layer, and they are environmental-friendly materials, having an
exceptionally small affect on global warming.
●
Hydrocarbons are flammable. The coolants are sealed in the coolant circuitry, and with normal operation
they will not leak, but should the circuitry be damaged, refrain from using flames or other electrical products,
and open windows for ventilation. After that, please contact the dealer or Hitachi customer service centre.
●
本冰箱所使用冷媒及其他斷熱材料皆無使用氟氯化碳、而是使用碳氫化合物。碳氫化合物不會破壞地球臭氧層、
對地球溫室效應的影響非常小、屬於環保物質。
●
碳氫化合物為可燃型物質。
冷媒密封於冷媒迴路管中、在一般的使用情況下應該不會發生外洩。
但萬一有冷媒管線損壞的情況發生、請遠離火源及避免使用電器用品、將門窗打開以利空氣流通。
之後、請
立即與經銷商或日立技術中心聯絡。
