Vacuum-sealed for Food Freshness
The secret to longer-lasting freshness is reduced oxygen levels. Hitachi’s original vacuum preservation extracts air to maintain approx. 0.8 atm (atmospheric pressure). The meat, fish and dairy products are kept fresh and nutritious, and ready to cook without defrosting.
Stay healthy. A vacuumed environment prevents oxidisation and retains nutrients inside the food.

Quick seasoning is made possible because the compartment removes air from stored food, enabling seasoning to be absorbed at a faster rate. So, with less time required for seasoning and cooking, such as for marinated seasoning or dehydrating the dried items, there’s more time for eating!

Preserves your various type of foods in optimal condition.
Refreshing Technology
Hitachi innovation at its finest and most consistent: the sealed pressure-resistant vacuum realises and maintains the vacuumed environment. A vacuum pump extracts air and reduces oxygen to achieve approx. 0.8 atm (atmospheric pressure) throughout usage.
* Vacuum means the space where the pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure. The pressure in the Vacuum Compartment is about 0.8 atm, which is lower than the atmospheric pressure, hence, Hitachi considers this a vacuum.
An Effortless Door
Automatic LED lights illuminate the door handles when you approach it and the Auto Door technology provides an effortless opening experience like never before. Even when the doors are full, they can still open automatically at the touch of a button.
The refrigerator can sense when a person is close and will automatically illuminate the door handles.
At the touch of a button automatically open the refrigerator or freezer door.
Simply slide your finger across the button and both the refrigerator and freezer doors will automatically open.
No Need to Defrost
Choose the Soft Freeze setting in the Selectable Zone to keep meats and fish fresh. You can cook them instantly and safely without them needing to defrost.
Flexible Storage
The Selectable Zone feature allows you to customise mode settings based on your storage and lifestyle needs.
Running out of space for your drinks and food? You can now have extra storage refrigerator space at 3°C.
Keep your dairy, meat and fresh food in ideal 1°C in the Chill/Meat setting.
Softly frozen foods are easy to slice. Just take the amount that is needed. Cook without the need to defrost the food.
Wish to separate your frozen savoury food from your ice cream and ice? Now you can with an additional storage option of the Freezer setting.
Organised Storage for Vegetables
For long-lasting freshness, each of the cases maintains the moisture of the food at the optimum level of approx. 90%* with indirect cooling. And the completely separate compartments are always full of clean air with no transferred odours thanks to the Triple Power Filter.
* Tested by Hitachi. Differs depending on the amount and type of vegetables.
Optimal Storage
Select based on your storage needs. Ideal for dry food or vegetables.
Energy Saving
VIP is a thin panel with a very fine glass fibre vacuum inside, giving an extremely high heat insulation performance - much higher than that of Urethane, a conventional insulation material. It prevents external heat from escaping to achieve exceptional energy savings. Cooling retention is 15 hours, with the highest heat insulation performance during power cut.

INVERTER X Dual Fan Cooling
Compact but high power inverter compressor capable of providing exceptionally powerful cooling by generating a large volume of chilled air, while adjusting cooling power. Also providing efficient low power cooling with microcomputer control, Eco Thermo Sensor.
It enables independent cooling of the freezer (Approx. -18°C) and refrigerator compartments (Approx. 3°C), something a single fan can't do. Using two fans, it also quickly and effectively circulates the cold air provided by powerful inverter operation.
Even if the ambient temperature reaches as high as 60°C, every corner inside of the refrigerator is still thoroughly cooled.
*Tested by Hitachi. Test conditions: Ambient temperature of 60°C and stable interior conditions without opening or closing the door.
The high heat insulation performance thanks to VIP even during power cut.
*Tested by Hitachi.
Cools under wide voltage fluctuation 130V-300V.*
*Tested by Hitachi. Operating condition may differ depending on situations.
Powerful Deodorisation
Ammonia
Triple Power Filter removes odour components*1 and removes bacteria 99%.*2
*1: Triple Power Filter that catches and removes 7 odour components (Tested by Hitachi. The type of odours : Methyl Mercaptan, Ammonia, Acetaldehyde, Trimethylamine, Propanal, Hexanal and Acetic Acid).
*2: Thus also provides a sterilising effect. Combining the properties of Activated Carbon, Zeolite and Manganese Oxide (catalyst), the filter greatly reduces the percentage of odours present over time. Testing organisation : Boken Quality Evaluation Institute. Testing method : Film adhesion method (JISZ2801). Name of processing component : Filter. Sterilisation method : Application of oxidation catalyst to filter. Subject : Bacteria trapped in filter. Test results : 99% sterilised after 24 hours, achieved using the filter alone. No effect on the environment and food inside the refrigerator.
Methyl Mercaptan
Acetaldehyde
Big yet Easy to Use
