NEW ICE DISPENSER CONCEPT MAKES CLEAN ICE FROM WATER

Enjoy clean ice and water anytime from a clean water supply system

Just pour water into the tank and is passes it through a 3-layer filter before ice is automatically made for you. The large capacity tank holds a big 4 litres, and you can remove it for easy cleaning.

No Plumbing Required

Because the unit does not need to be connected to a tap, no troublesome plumbing is required, and you can install it anywhere.

Advanced Hybrid Technology - MINUS ZERO Cooling

Preserves More Moisture and Nutrition

The ice cold MINUS-ZER Panel provides uniform radiation cooling inside the refrigerator, avoiding the direct flow of chilled air onto food. As a result, moisture and nutritional value are retained in food items.

More Energy Saving

The high efficiency of MINUS-ZERO Cooling cuts energy consumption, so you save on electricity. Energy-saving is further assured by Hitachi's new Parallel Aerodynamic Evaporator and highly efficient compressor.

Outstanding Convenience

The clear blue LED display offers a stylish appearance that adds a modern touch to your kitchen.

Easy One-Touch Selection

Whether it's ice cubes, crushed ice or ice-cold water you want, it's yours at a touch of a button.

Bright Xenon Lamps

All compartments are brightly lit with the kind of xenon lamps used for car headlights. In addition to a long operating life, these lamps help to save energy.

Clean Air and Odourless Transfer

The completely seperate compartment is always full of clean air that has passed through a Nano Titanium filter. There is also no transfer of odours from other compartments.

Optimum Humidity of Approx. 90%

Efficient, indirect cooling in each of the covered cases maintains high humidity at the optimum level of approx. 90% to assure long-lasting freshness.

Extremely Large Capacity

Large Capacity, Counter Depth Fit

Thanks to unique low-floor design and compact evaporator, this space-saving refrigerator offeres amazingly large storage capacity with a depth of 600mm, the same as a kitchen cabinet, making it an ideal match for modern kitchen interiors.

Extra Storage Space

The ice bank on the door allows storage of items right up tothe top of the freezer compartment. Now you can enjoy a large 18 litres of extra storage space.

MINUS-ZERO Cooling

Ice-cold Zero Degree Panel Keeps Food Fresh

An advanced hybrid technolgy that refrigerates with the ice cold zero degrees celcius MINUS-ZERO Panel and the Cool Jet Wrap

MINUS-ZERO Panel:Made of high thermal conductivity aluminium, whose temperature is the same as a large block of ice, it provides uniform radiation cooling inside the refrigerator.

Cool Jet Wrap:A circulation system that cools every corner of the refrigerator to wrap everything in chilled air.

Real Nanotechnology Protects Food from Bacteria, Mold and Odours

Nano Titanium eliminates Escherichia coli and Sraphylococcus aureus that cause food poisoning. It also resolves the smell of rotten vegetables due to Methyl-mercaptan,the smell of fresh fish due to Trimethyl Amine, Ammonia and other odours.

Cools all the compartments uniformly and efficiently

MINU-ZERO Cooling provides uniform temperature distribution, minimising temperature fluctuations and avoiding the direct flow of chilled air onto food. This prevents partial drying and freezing of food to retain it's freshness and flavour.

Preserves more moisture and nutrition

MINU-ZERO Cooling preserves the nutrition and fresh taste of food for a healthier lifestyle.

More energy saving

The high efficiency of MINUS-ZERO Cooling cuts energy consumption by up to 15%, so you save on electricity.

What is Nano Titanium

Nano Titanium is a cutting-edge technology that uses a TiO2 catalyst to provide a powerful anti-bacterial and deoderizing effect.

Nano Titanium particles are incredibly small (5nm). If you imagined the earths diameter is 1 meter, then 5nm would be the size of a golf ball compared to the Earth.

The filter is packed with these minute particles to firmly catch and resolve bacteria, which are, approximately 1000 larger, and mold and odours.

How does the Triple Clean System work?

The Triple Clean System is a circulation-type cleaning system designed to maintain optimal conditions through a synergy of three functions. Chilled air containing minus ions is circulated to all corners of the compartments. Bacteria, mold and odours are then carried by the chilled air to the Nano Titanium filter where they are resolved.

Minus Ions : They suppress the reproduction of airborne bacteria.

Big, Super-Moisture Vegetable Compartment

Assures vegetable freshness by maintaining optimum moisture in an indirectly-cooled compartment with gaskets.
* Researched by Hitachi

The 2-Way Humidity Controller lets you customise humidity to best suit the items stored. It assures vegetables retain moisture while items such as herbs remain dry.

Bigger storage capacity

With 15% more capacity than conventional vegetable compartments, you can store even more fruits and vegetables.

The moveable seperator enables well-organised storage of items by type so there's no worry of missing small vegetables and fruits.
