Proper food storage Using method Set the proper temperature for food storage. If you select Fresh, Standard and Mature function for the Kimchi storage, it will turn sour fast. When setting the storage temperature to "Max", it can make some types of Kimchi to freeze. Therefore you check it frequently depending on the type of Kimchi. If you store other types of food with Kimchi in one compartment, there are cases when the other type of food freezes. Keep Kimchi in the Kimchi container When using the Kimchi container, fill it up to the line so that the juice does not get spilled over and before sure to close the lid tightly to reduce any exposure to air. This will help prevent Kimchi from turning sour and forming molds on the surface. Also you can prevent this by covering the surface of the Kimchi by using the outer cabbage leaves or clean plastic wrap. Indication line Store vegetables and fruits in the designated container. Because some vegetables and fruits can be damaged by the coldness, store them in the designated container. Because washed vegetables can turn bad faster, do not wash the vegetables before storing. Do not store tropical fruits (banana, pineapple etc.) which can go bad at low temperature. Cool down hot food before putting it into the appliance If you put hot food into the appliance, it will raise the temperature and accelerate the seasoning of the Kimchi, and also increase the electricity consumption. To store the Kimchi for a long period of time Put the Kimchi in the Kimchi container right after making it and use the storage function to store. Depending on the type of Kimchi and saltiness, Set the storing temperature among "Min", "Mid" and "Max". When storing the Kimchi for a long time, keep the Kimchi submerged. 35
