Storing food in the Vegetable Compartment for an extended period of time causes discoloration or reduces flavor, depending on the type of food. It may
also reduce the amount of vitamin C, cause mold on food, or start corrosion.
Foods susceptible to low-temperature damage
● Vegetables: Eggplant, string beans, sweet potato, okra, etc.
● The Tall Storage Compartment has a slightly higher temperature than other spaces.
Notice
● Water accumulated in a case is likely to damage food. Wipe it off with a soft cloth.
Request
● Before putting dried foods, such as rice or dried laver seaweed, in the Vegetable Compartment, put them in a sealed container (bag).
Failing to do so may cause them to absorb water.
● If the Vegetable Compartment has few vegetables, a high humidity cannot be retained. Cover them with plastic wrap before storing
them.
