Hitachi Made in Japan Refrigerator

 

Refrigerator R-X730GS

Lunar New Year is the time that everyone gathers and celebrate this joyous occasion. With the latest Made in Japan Refrigerator R-X730GS, one need not worry about the finding space to store the large amount groceries. This eco-friendly sophisticated refrigerator is the largest refrigerator in the industry, designed to perfection with dimension of 880 x 738 (D) x 1833 (H) mm and a gross capacity of 788L. Most importantly, it keeps your groceries fresher for a longer period, just what you need for the Lunar New Year!

With Hitachi’s continual efforts in pioneering green initiatives, its refrigerator is power packed with uniquely designed preservation technology and intelligent energy saving features. Since September 2015, all Hitachi refrigerators have been certified CFC-free.

Freshness Redefined

• Aero-care Vege Compartment

Upon storing newly bought vegetables, one would always put a mental reminder note to use the vegetables before it perishes. Especially when most groceries must be purchased prior to the Lunar New Year as most markets will be closed during the period. With the Aero-care Vege Compartment uniquely designed to maintain freshness and nutrients in vegetables, there is no need to worry about cooking your vegetables as soon as you purchase them.

The compartment keeps vegetables fresh under the power of a Platinum Catalyst which produces an increase of carbon dioxide to control the respiration of vegetables and limiting the  consumption  of  nutrients  in  the  environment  to  prevent  the  loss  of  freshness. Furthermore, the improved airtight seal of the compartment increases humidity, with the Humidity Control Unit by releasing excess moisture to keep vegetables in optimal condition.

• Vacuum Compartment with Platinum Catalyst

Hitachi Original Vacuum Preservation with a new Platinum Power Catalyst is a technology that keeps your meat, fish and dairy products fresh and nutritious. Odor components that come into contact with the catalyst is broken down into water and a greater amount of carbon dioxide than the conventional photo-catalyst.

The uniquely designed Vacuum Preservation can achieve approximately 0.8atm capabilities with the use of Hitachi Original Mini Vacuum Pump to extract air and reduce oxygen, suppressing oxidation. This ensures the freshness of food for a longer period while retaining its  nutrients,  texture  and  taste.  Furthermore,  the  airtight  structure  of  the  compartment confines moisture inside, thus helping to prevent dehydration of stored food. Storing of open items and dishes is now easier as there is no need for troublesome wrapping.

The ability to choose between 2 Temperature Zones is given. Vacuum Sub Zero Mode at the temperature of -1 °C setting, recommended for meat, fish and their processed equivalents. While other food with more moisture contents like vegetables and tofu can be placed in the Vacuum Chiller Mode at +1 °C setting to prevent deterioration of flavour and texture due to freezing.

Apart from keeping your food fresh, the vacuum compartment also removes air from stored food, allowing food seasoning to be absorbed at a faster rate. This refrigerator does not only relieve your freezing woes, it also makes cooking preparation a whole lot faster!

• Delicious Freezing

A refrigerator that is bigger and better than before, with features that retain all the natural goodness of your food, even freezing is done deliciously.

The Freezer Compartment consist of three tiers with regular freezing at the lowest level and the Delicious Freezing at the top. The R-X730GS has a freezing tray that is 2.3 times bigger than the previous model, making it easier to view, access, and spreading out food items to freeze more efficiently without the need of piling them up.

Due to the high thermal conductivity of the metal, food placed on the Delicious Freezing Aluminum Tray chills faster as heat is drawn away. By quickly going past the maximum ice crystal formation zone where the moisture in food items freezes, the growth of ice crystals will be inhibited. Freezer burn can be impeded, and cellular damage can be curbed to keep food tasting delicious. Ice crystals are kept small to prevent drip loss in food upon thawing, allowing to lock in colour, texture, flavour and the nutritional value of fresh cooked products. With the intelligent Temperature Sensor, it detects the temperature of hot food on the tray, and will automatically switch the setting to freeze it very quickly.

Energy Saving

Keeping groceries fresh and delicious is essential, likewise for saving energy during operation. The R-X730GS is installed with a  range  of  technologies  such  as  multi-valve  control,  frost recycling cooling, vacuum insulation panels, along with other Hitachi  original  technologies  to  further  ensure  energy-saving performance.

• Hitachi Original Flexible Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP)

The Vacuum Insulation Panel is a thin panel with extremely high heat insulation performance. It is specially moulded to fit the inner wall structure, enhancing cooling efficiency and maximizes space. The vacuum layer of the VIP prevents heat transfers and heat loss, keeping the inside temperature low for a long time.

• High-Efficiency Inverter Compressor

A compact  but  high-powered  High-Efficiency  Inverter  Compressor  finely  adjusts  cooling power from high to low. It is capable of providing exceptionally powerful cooling by generating large volume of chilled air, while also providing efficient low cooling. Depending on conditions inside and outside the refrigerator, it provides optimum cooling power at all times.

• Hitachi Original Frost Recycling Cooling Technology with Hybrid Defrost

Energy saving does not compromise in the overall performance of the refrigerator. Hitachi Original Frost Recycling Cooling Technology effectively lowers your annual energy consumption.

In conventional cooling systems, frost formed on the evaporator simply melts and is discarded. However, in Frost Recycling Cooling with Hybrid Defrost,  chilled  air  generated  by  the  frost  is recycled to cool the refrigerator compartments even when the compressor is not running. With this advanced technology, energy consumption is reduced.

HFC-Free Polyurethane Insulation / HFC-Free Refrigerant (R600a)

Besides being energy saving, the refrigerator is also eco-friendly. Taking the environment into consideration,  environment-friendly  HFC-Free  Polyurethane  Insulation  /  HFC-Free Refrigerant (R600a) features have minimal effects on global warming as HFC-free insulation foaming gas is used as a foaming agent instead of HFC-alternative R134a.

• Convenient Eco Intelligent Control

With the Energy Saving Mode “Save Mode”, power consumption is reduced by 10 – 12% as compared to regular operation. With the “Save Mode” turned on, several energy saving features is enabled to aid in operation of the refrigerator using minimal energy. It even prompts the user if the refrigerator’s door is left open for too long. Being a smart refrigerator, it indicates when the operation of the refrigerator is running in a stable condition with an “eco” sign. The sign goes out when there is a heavy load on the refrigerator such as during rapid freezing.

Designed To Perfection

The auto drawers/doors are easy to open with a touch, even when they are fully loaded. Storing and retrieving food items is made easy with the full open design of the drawers. The drawers open fully, allowing the user to view all food items and not overlook and forget about them.
