The Hitachi dishwasher is designed to provide a powerful and hygienic clean for your dishes, while offering flexibility and convenience. Here's a breakdown of its key features: Superior Cleaning Performance: Hygiene Care: This function tackles tough bacteria and viruses by raising the wash temperature to at least 60°C and adding a 30-minute hot rinse cycle reaching a minimum of 70°C. This high temperature generates a steam mist that effectively eliminates 99.999% of bacteria and viruses* on your dishes, ensuring a hygienically clean wash. (*Tested in Intensive 70 program on microorganisms)Intense Wash Zone: For heavily soiled items like pots, pans, and bottles, the bottom rack features a dedicated Intense Wash zone. This zone utilizes powerful water jets to create a concentrated cleaning area, removing stubborn grime and offering up to 5 times better cleaning performance compared to a standard wash. Flexible and Efficient Washing: 8 Washing Programs: Choose the perfect cycle for your load with a variety of options, including Auto, Intensive (for heavily soiled dishes), Eco (energy-saving for lightly soiled dishes), Glass Care (gentle wash for delicate glassware), Rapid 58 (quick wash and dry in 58 minutes), Mini (ideal for small loads), Steam Shine (improves drying results), and Hygiene Care. Auto Open Door with Automatic Self Dry: During the drying cycle, the dishwasher door automatically opens slightly (around 10 cm) to allow for natural airflow. This circulation of fresh air removes moist hot air from within, promoting efficient drying and preventing trapped moisture that can lead to odors or streaking. Adjustable Upper Basket: Easily adjust the height of the upper rack to accommodate taller dishes or pots on the lower rack, maximizing space utilization. Removable Cutlery Basket: The dishwasher features a removable sliding cutlery basket, offering you the flexibility to arrange it for optimal utensil placement or remove it entirely to create more space for larger dishes. Additional Features: Surround Wash Technology: Powerful spray arms strategically placed within the dishwasher ensure complete cleaning coverage, reaching even those tricky corners and crevices for a thorough wash. Inverter Motor: This advanced motor technology delivers several benefits. It operates quietly, reducing noise levels to a mere 43 dB(A), making it ideal for open-plan kitchens. Additionally, the inverter motor is energy-efficient, helping you save on electricity bills, and its durable design ensures long-lasting performance. Eco-Friendly Construction: Hitachi prioritizes environmental responsibility by using recycled plastic bottles in the dishwasher's chassis. This eco-conscious design allows you to enjoy clean dishes while minimizing your environmental impact.Silent Operation (43 dB(A)): Enjoy a peaceful kitchen environment even while the dishwasher is running. The low noise level ensures minimal disruption during mealtimes or conversations. 1 Year Warranty: Hitachi offers a 1-year manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind, guaranteeing quality and reliable performance.Overall, the Hitachi dishwasher offers a comprehensive cleaning solution for your dishes.
