Proper Food Storage Techniques
Store kimchi in the kimchi container.
• Fill the container with kimchi only up to the fill
line and make sure the lid is tightly closed
before storing.
• If the lid is not closed properly, a thin film of
yeast can form on the surface of the kimchi or
the kimchi may ferment too quickly. Cover the
surface of the kimchi with plastic wrap or a
layer of cabbage leaves before storing it to
prevent yeast from forming.
Store vegetables or fruit in the designated
container.
• Some vegetables and fruits are damaged by
cold air.
• Vegetables which are damp from being washed
tend to spoil more quickly. For best results,
don't wash vegetables before storing them.
• Do not refrigerate tropical fruits like bananas or
pineapples, which are damaged by cold
temperatures.
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature
before refrigerating it.
• Placing hot food directly into the fridge can
raise the temperature of surrounding food
items, leading to spoilage and higher utility
bills.
Long-Term Storage of Kimchi
• Place newly prepared kimchi into the fridge
and select the Storage setting.
• Depending on the type and saltiness of the
kimchi, select the Low, Medium, or High
setting.
• For best long-term storage, make sure the
vegetables are completely submerged in the
sauce and cover the kimchi with plastic wrap.
Storing Purchased Kimchi
• If kimchi will be consumed within a short time,
select the Fast Chill setting. If kimchi will be
stored for a long time, select the Storage
setting.

Before storing vegetable oils in the fridge,
read the storage instructions on the
container.
• Vegetable oil bottles can become messy with
use.
• Place oil bottles in disposable or left over
plastic containers to avoid having to clean
fridge shelves.
Select the appropriate temperature for the
food being stored.
• Storing kimchi at the Fermentation setting may
cause it to spoil.
• Some types of kimchi may freeze if stored at
the High setting. Check on kimchi often when
using the High setting.
• Storing other food along with kimchi in a
storage container may result in the other food
freezing.
Using the Different Containers
• For best results when using the Refrigeration
setting, store containers which are similar in
size, smaller containers, or bottles.
※ Storing kimchi in the provided kimchi
container in
the designated position makes the most
delicious
kimchi.
※ Do not store kimchi in glass bottles. The
kimchi will expand when frozen and the bottle
may break, causing a risk of injury.
※ Do not place containers near the air outlet in
the fridge. The food may freeze.
Fermenting Kimchi
• Avoid opening the compartment door while
kimchi is fermenting.
• Allowing the warmer outside air in during
fermentation can affect the taste of the kimchi.
Getting Rid of Food Odors
• Cover open food containers with plastic wrap
before storing to prevent transfer of odors
inside the fridge.
After installation, allow the fridge to cool
completely before storing food.
• Food may spoil and cause odors to linger if it is
stored before the fridge has been allowed to
reach the set temperature.
