Cautions during use
Do not put Kimchi directly in the drawer basket.
If you put the Kimchi directly in the drawer basket without putting it in its
container, the cool air is not circulated properly to make the Kimchi turn
sour faster.
When storing Kimchi or other food, always put them in the Kimchi
container provided.
• Always put Kimchi in the Kimchi container.
When putting Kimchi in the Kimchi container, make sure the juice does not overflow
over the indicated line. Close the container lid tightly.
If the lid is not completely sealed, it will make the Kimchi be exposed to
the air causing white mold to form on the surface when kept for a long time.
This will make the Kimchi turn sour faster. Putting a plastic wrap or outer
cabbage leaves on the surface of the Kimchi also helps to prevent this from happening
Fill the Kimchi container only up to 80% and close the lid tightly so that it is not open.
Cool down hot food before putting it into the appliance
I
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
I 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.
V
After storing the Kimchi for 3-4 days, check if there is any spill.
As part of the initial fermenting process, the juice can overflow, in which case you cannot store the
Kimchi for a long period of time.
Be sure to use enough salt when preparing Kimchi.
The amount of salt significantly affects the fermenting speed. A small amount of Kimchi intended
for immediate consumption can be prepared with little salt. But large quantities of Kimchi to be
stored for longer periods must contain more salt.
