WARNING
ŶThis appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved.
ŶChildren shall not play with the appliance.
ŶCleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision
ŶChildren aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload
refrigerating appliances.
ŶOpening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
ŶClean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible
drainage systems.
ŶStore raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
ŶTwo-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food,
storing or making icecream and making ice cubes.
ŶOne-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing
of fresh food.
ŶIf the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and
Ŷ
similar applications such as
ƔStaff kitchen areas in shop, offices and other working environments.
ƔFarm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential
type environments.
ƔBed and breakfast type environments.
ƔCatering and similar non-retail applications.

Installation
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 temperature 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 refrigerator door level.
ŶWithout 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.
Before Use
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 it 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.
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.
