VACUUM COMPARTMENT
● Seals the Vacuum Compartment, and lowers the air pressure inside the case into the vacuum state (under low-
oxygen conditions) by using the vacuum pump. Vitamin Case helps to suppress oxidization of foods.
● The natural nutrients and good fl avor in the foods are preserved in a longer period than before due to
suppression of oxidization.
● The vacuum effect will not change even if foods are wrapped.
Note: The word vacuum used here means the space where the air pressure inside is lower than the atmospheric pressure. The air pressure
in the Vacuum Compartment is approximately 0.8 atm. which is lower than the atmospheric pressure, so we call such state as vacuum.
Notice
● Sound or vibration occurs when the vacuum pump starts to run in order to lower the air pressure inside the Vacuum Compartment. Such
operating sound or vibration is not abnormal.
● The vacuum pump operates after the door of the Vacuum Compartment is locked and the door of the Refrigerator Compartment is closed.
It takes about 3 minutes to achieve the vacuum state after the vacuum pump starts the operation. If the door is opened before 3 minutes
pass, no hissing sound may be generated. Check the vacuum state after 3 minutes and more.
Caution
● The Vitamin Case needs no replacement on regular basis. Do not remove it.
■ Display "Vacuum Compartment Subzero" or "Vacuum Compartment Chiller" on the Control Panel for
operation to use this function.
※ It is also available as a normal Ice Compartment (-1˚C) by selecting "OFF".
To be used as a guide under the conditions that the ambient temperature is 30˚C and is stable.
