特長 FEATURES

保存蔬菜的營養素及水嫩

■ 蔬果睡眠保鮮

Keeping freshness and preserving nutrients of vegetables

Aero-care Vege. Compartment

Adopted [Photocatalyst Preservation] function keeps freshness and preserves nutrients by making use of the photocatalyst at the back of the lower case of Vegetable Compartment. Thanks to the effects of carbon dioxide, it will restrict consumption of vegetables' nutrients and keep them fresh.

Keeping meat and fish fresh by [Photocatalyst Preservation] function, etc.

Vacuum Compartment

Interior view of a refrigerated kitchen appliance with open storage compartments filled with packaged goods (no visible text or labels)

Approx. 0.8 hPa of [Vacuum Preservation] keeps freshness and preserves nutrients by restricting oxidation. [Photocatalyst Preservation] technology used for the Vegetable Compartment and newly adopted [Antioxidant Fresh Cassette] maintain freshness. ※ Vacuum means the space where the pressure is lower than the atmosphere pressure. The pressure in the Vacuum compartment is about 0.8 hPa which is lower than the atmosphere pressure, so Hitachi calls such state as vacuum.

By using [Frost Recycle Cooling] and vacuum insulation, etc.

Energy saving & large capacity

Power consumption is reduced more thanks to various energy-saving technologies including "Frost Recycle Cooling" and others. In addition, [Energy Saving] mode is available for saving energy further. We have devised ways of increasing the rated internal capacity by enlarging shelves, pockets and slide cases as much as possible to store more foods while using vacuum insulation to reduce the wall thickness.

[三重抗菌除臭]

[Triple Power Deodorizing Effect]

A combination of 3 types of deodorizing materials deodorize various odorous substances in the refrigerator including 4 major odors such as sulfur, nitrogen, aldehyde and oxidization odors. Activities of bacteria collected by the filter are also restricted.

Deodorant filter has the effect of sterile filtration.

- Testing laboratory: Boken Quality Evaluation Institute, a general incorporate foundation - Test method: Film contacting method (JIS Z 2801) - Name of the part used for treatment: Filter - Sterilization method: applying oxidation catalyst to the filter - Target: bacteria collected by the filter - Test result: sterilization effect of 99% after 24 hours by using a filter only. This does not always effect on the entire refrigerator or foods.
