performance may not be obtained, if room temperature is too low or too high.
3) Do not install where the refrigerator is exposed to direct sunlight or other heat source.
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 30 cm over the top, 10 cm at rear
and 5 cm at both sides for proper air circulation.
6) Ground the refrigerator to prevent electric shock and noise interference. Always ground
this refrigerator when using it in place with high humidity or moisture.
(Please consult with retailers or Hitachi Service Center.)
7) Make the refrigerator stand horizontally by adjusting the leveling legs (adjustor).
■ Without adjusting the legs, door heigh may not be level, or there may be abnormal
vibration or noises depending on floor conditions. Follow the instructions below.

Beginning

1) After transporting : If Refrigerator has been kept horizontal position for more
than 10 minutes for transportation or any other reasons, it should stand
upright for more than 1 hour before plugging it in.
2) Cleaning inside the refrigerator. Wipe the surface gently with soft cloth.
3) 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.
4) The compressor will start running in approximately 30 seconds, if inside is not cold.
5) 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.
6) Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

Food storage

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 plastic wrap or sealed containers prevent the food from drying or transition of smells.
5) Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
