Proper Food Storage Techniques
Store kimchi in the kimchi container.
•
Fill the container with kimchi only up to the ll line
and make sure the lid is tightly closed before
storing.
•
If the lid is not closed properly, a thin lm 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator
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 refrigerator,
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 refrigerator
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
refrigerator. 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
refrigerator.
After installation, allow the refrigerator to cool
completely before storing food.
•
Food may spoil and cause odors to linger if it is
stored before the refrigerator has been allowed to
reach the set temperature.
NOTE
•
If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.
Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will
stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
•
If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an
extended period, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door
open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
•
Food packaging should be wiped down to prevent
adjacent foods from being contaminated.
CAUTION
•
Do not store glass containers in the freezer.
Contents may expand when frozen, break the
container and cause injury.
