Frequently Asked Questions - R-SF58AMJ HITACHI

How do I set the temperature on my Hitachi R-SF58AMJ freezer?

Use the temperature control panel located on the front or inside the freezer. Typically, you can adjust the temperature using a dial or digital settings, aiming for -18°C for optimal freezing.

What does the 'Fast Freeze' function do?

The Fast Freeze function speeds up the freezing process by running the compressor continuously for a limited time. Activate it when adding large amounts of unfrozen food to preserve quality.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost when the frost layer reaches about 5-10 mm. Regular defrosting maintains efficiency. The manual recommends checking every 3-6 months depending on usage.

What should I do if the freezer is not cold enough?

Check that the door is closing properly and the gasket is clean. Ensure the temperature setting is correct. If the problem persists, the condenser coils may need cleaning or the compressor may require servicing.

How do I clean the condenser coils?

Unplug the freezer and remove the lower grille. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from the coils. For heavy dirt, use a soft brush. Reinstall the grille and plug back in.

Can I install the freezer in an unheated garage?

The freezer is designed for climate classes SN-T, which means it can operate in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C. Avoid placing it in areas where temperatures drop below 10°C, as this may affect performance.

How do I replace the interior light?

The interior light is an LED type, which is not user-replaceable. If it fails, contact an authorized service center for replacement.

What does the alarm sound mean?

The alarm sounds when the door is left open for too long, or when the internal temperature rises significantly. Close the door firmly and check if the temperature returns to normal. If the alarm persists, there may be a malfunction.

How do I lock the freezer door?

Use the key provided with the freezer. Insert it into the lock near the handle and turn to lock or unlock. Keep the key in a safe place away from children.

Is the freezer energy efficient?

The Hitachi R-SF58AMJ has an estimated annual energy consumption of 350 kWh, which is typical for a large upright freezer. To save energy, keep the door closed, avoid overfilling, and ensure good ventilation around the appliance.

更省電 More Energy Saving

1. 霜循環冷卻

● 以霜來冷卻達到省電功能

● Energy saving by effectively utilizing frost

In the past, frost adhered to the radiator was melted by a heater and discharged as defrosted water because it lowers cooling efficiency.

Frost Recycle Cooling utilizes the cold of frost. The compressor operation is stopped and Refrigerator Compartment /Vegetable Compartment are cooled by utilizing the cold of frost.

● Each compartment is independently cooled effectively

A sensor and a flap are installed in each compartment of Refrigerator Compartment, Freezer Compartment and Vegetable Compartment, and the temperature of each compartment is controlled independently.

● Prevents food from drying out, utilizing the moisture of frost (Refrigerator Compartment/Vegetable Compartment)

In addition to the cold of frost, the moisture of frost on the radiator helps the food from drying out.

2. ["eco" operation indicator lamp]

● This indicator lamp will be illuminated to indicate the energy-saving operation when the compressor is stopped during the Frost Recycle Cooling or while the compressor operates at low speed.

When "eco" indicator lamp is not illuminated

When too many foods are stored inside or the door are opened or closed too frequently or the door is left open for a long time, the compressor will operate on high speed. So, “eco” operation indicator lamp will not be illuminated.

→ Please open or close the door quickly or minimize the number of times of opening and closing the door. "eco" operation indicator lamp will not be also illuminated on during the quick freezing/cooling operation because the inside of the refrigerator is cooled quickly. 📋 Pg. 58

	Refrigerator comes in contact with the wall or furniture, etc.	Allow clearance around the refrigerator and install it.
	Leg cover comes off	Install it fi rmly.Pg.36
	●You may feel that the operation sound is large because the compressor operates in high-speed under the following conditions: the refrigerator does not cool fully on the occasion such as using it for the first time, opening/closing the door frequently, the surrounding temperature is high.→The sound becomes small after cooling fully.
Operation sound lasts long	●It is because the compressor operates in low-speed for conserving energy.
Operation sound sometimes becomes larger	●It is because the system changes the operating power of the refrigerator according to the temperature change.
When other sound such as shown in the right table is generated by the refrigerator	●The following sounds are generated when the refrigerator is operating normally, so they do not indicate any trouble.
	Type of sound	Source of sound
	Sound like water fl owing (trickling)Sound like collision (tapping)Sound like water boiling (bubbling up)Sound like meat roasting (sizzling)	These sounds are caused when the refrigerant to cool the refrigerator fl ows or water fl ows/evaporates to remove frost.
	Sound like squeaking (cracking)	This sound is caused because the parts squeaks when the refrigerator temperature changes.
	Sound like something is caught (clacking)Sound like roaring (honking)Sound caused immediately after closing the door (booming)	These sounds are caused when the electric parts to control the refrigerator temperature operates.
	Sounds caused by the Automatic ice maker (zooming)(rattling)(clunking)	These sounds are caused when ice separates from the ice tray of the Automatic ice maker or ice is supplied to the ice tray. These sounds also occur every 2 hours if the water supply container is empty.If you turn off the “停止” lamp, ice making stops and the sound does not occur.Pg.47
	Sound occurred sometimes (clacking)	This sound is caused when the refrigerator starts the operation to cool.

It smells strange

Ice smells	● Do the water supply container and/or water fi lter become dirty? or Does ice become old?→ Wash them once a week to prevent "slime" and/or "fur" Pg.51● Chlorine may strongly smell because chlorine in tap water is condensed.
It smells in the refrigerator	● Is any food which strongly smells stored without any wrapping?→ The deodorizing function cannot completely remove all smells.Seal that kind of food with plastic fi lm etc. to store it.
It smells like plastic	● This smell occurs because a lot of plastic parts are used in the refrigerator, but the smell decreases gradually while cooling. Keep the room ventilated.

Door is not in a horizontal state

Door is not in a horizontal state	● Installation place may not be horizontal.Left side or right side of the door may be slightly lower when the left or right leg is sunk in the floor surface because of the soft floor material and the addition of food weight.→This does not affect the refrigerator performance. Adjust the refrigerator adjustable mount to keep it level if you want to correct it. Pg.36→Lay the firm board which has more than 1cm thickness on the floor if the refrigerator itself inclines.
More force is required to open the door immediately after closing the door.	● It is because air entered the Refrigerator Compartment is rapidly cooled and the pressure in the Refrigerator Compartment temporarily lowers.
Another door opens after closing one door.	● Another door may open for a moment by the wind pressure because cool air path connects each compartment.

Others

You feel electricity a little when touching the main body of the refrigerator	●The refrigerator may be charged with static electricity, but there is no problem with the safety.→It is recommended to ground if you want to remove it. Pg.37
Radio and/or television are disturbed by noises	●It is caused by the electromagnetic radiation slightly generated from this refrigerator.→Install the refrigerator on a place far away from the television, radio and interphone etc.→It is recommended to connect the power plug to the power outlet separated from the antenna terminal and ground the refrigerator. Pg.37
There are thin lines like scratches on the plastic parts	●Those lines are caused by the liquid resin flowing when plastic is molded.They are especially conspicuous for the transparent parts, but there is no problem with the strength and they can never lead to any cracks.
There are waving and/or distortions on the door surface, the side and the top surface of the refrigerator.	●Slight waving and/or distortions are generated in the manufacturing process of the refrigerator.They may be conspicuous according to the position of the light source and/or the brightness etc., but there is no problem with the performance.
The Control Panel for operation is not illuminated	●The displayed character will disappear about 2 minutes after the operation finishes. However, “急冷” (Quick Cooling) or “eco” operation indicator lamp will not be turned off. Push either button to turn it on.
