About the ice
The size of the ice depends on various factors, such
as the amount of water in the water tank.
About 10 to 12 ice cubes can be made each time.
If the ice is stored for a long time, the ice
cubes may join together or shrink. (Due to a phenomenon called sublimation.)
If you try to crush ice that has joined
together, be careful not to injure your hands.
About quick ice making
In the following cases, quick ice making is stopped
automatically.
When the ice storage box is full (about 80 to 140 ice cubes)
• When there is no water in the water tank
When about 10 hours have passed in quick ice making mode
(The display changes from to .)
The operation sound gets louder during quick ice
making, because the refrigerator operates at high speed.
It may take more than 24 hours to make ice
immediately after installation, even in quick ice making mode.
When quick ice making is performed, the ice may split
or crack because the freezing is performed quickly.

Rice
Curry
Sauces
TroubleshootingBefore Use Operation Cleaning
Step
Use plastic wrap to cover containers or wrap rice.
Avoid using aluminum foil or paper wrapping, because it interferes with accurate measurement of the food temperature.
When storing food in sealed containers, stuff the food until the container is full.
If there is not much food in a container, the food temperature may not be measured accurately.
What about storage containers?
You can supercool freeze hot food!
For leftover rice, divide it by the amount per serving and wrap them. while still warm and supercool freeze it. It can be preserved for about 2 weeks with soft freezing. It thaws well with no unevenness.
Leftover curry can be put in the versa compartment while still hot for supercool freezing. Even curry containing potatoes can be stored without losing its texture and taste.
Freshly cooked sauces can be poured into a storage container while still hot for supercool freezing. After hardening, the sauce can be diced and put into a storage bag, which takes up less space and lets you take out only the amount that you need each time.
What about hot food?
Do not store food that is hotter than 80°C.
Example: Freshly
cooked rice is
about 70°C
If food is too hot it may deform nearby containers. Also, when food is too hot to hold with your bare hands, be very careful not to burn yourself.
Storing meat and fi sh with soft freezing
take it out just before you use it. You can easily cut the soft frozen food using a kitchen knife.
Blocks of meat
We recommend using blocks of meat of about 100 to 400 grams for supercool freezing. Meat that has been stored in the freezer or was purchased frozen can be transferred to soft freezing.
Depending on the size of the
food, it can be cut 2 to 5 hours after transferring from the freezer compartment.
Thinly sliced meat or bacon
Can be cut without thawing. They will thaw while basting, when you can easily separate them.
If they cannot be separated
immediately after removal, wait for a while and try again.
Ground meat
You can cut out the required amount with a kitchen knife. If you cut the meat into cubes and leave them in room temperature for about 15 to 30 minutes, they will have thawed enough to be kneaded by hand.
16
Potatoes and broccoli
Boiled vegetables to be used in croquettes or salads can be cooled down using supercool freezing.
Cutlets and cod roe
Cutlets can be cooked on a low fl ame without thawing them fi rst. Food with a high salt content, such as cod roe, does not freeze and so can be used immediately.
When performing soft freezing after
Note

When placing food inside
Supercool freeze together at the same time.
If more food is added afterward, the
supercool freezing may not work.
If hot food and cold food below
room temperature are placed inside at the same time, priority is given to cooling the hot food.
The HIKARI sensor (infrared sensor) monitors the food condition from the top of the versa compartment. Arrange the food to make it easy for the sensor to measure the temperature.
Step
Where should the food be placed?
Lay out the food for supercool freezing fl at and on top in the versa compartment.
When food is hidden behind
its temperature cannot be measured accurately.
Delicious fruit and desert recipes Others
We recommend that hot food be separated from the frozen food and placed at the front.
The hot food may touch
and thaw the frozen food.
Sweet fruits are recommended. You can enjoy a wide range of supercool frozen fruits.
Mix supercool frozen fruit with yoghurt and milk in a blender to make a simple, healthy drink. It is also easy to make healthy low­sugar jam or ice cream.
Watermelon
Make watermelon ice by cutting watermelon into bite-size pieces and supercool freezing them. You can try with lots of different fruits.
Frozen yoghurt
Sugared yoghurt can be supercool frozen while still in its cup. After one night, it becomes a fi ne, smooth ice cream.
Smoothie
Cut half a peeled apple into large bite-size
pieces, and a peeled kiwi into circular slices with a thickness of 1 cm. Supercool freeze them.
Put the supercool frozen apple and kiwi into a blender
with 250 cc of milk and some honey (if you like), and blend until smooth (makes 2 servings).
Jam
Put 1 pack of strawberries (about 300 grams) into a container
and mash them thoroughly. Mix in 60 to 100 grams of sugar (depending on the
sweetness of the strawberries) and supercool freeze the mixture.
Leave for one night and it turns
into a tasty strawberry jam.
Easy to make from even a small amount
of fruit. Try next time you have some leftover fruit! Do not store in a glass container.
It may break.
Note
(apple and kiwi smoothie)
(strawberry jam)
When fruit is thawed it does not return to its original
condition. Eat frozen fruit without thawing it.
The freezing time varies depending on the sugar content.
Leave for one night after supercool freezing.
If fruit is stored for more than a week with soft freezing,
its taste may change. To enjoy the fresh texture, we recommend eating within 2 to 3 days.
Natto
Natto can be mixed immediately after removal from the compartment.
Fried bean curd
You can cut out the required amount.

Note
Even after supercool freezing has fi nished and turns off,

When placing more food inside additionally, refrain from
opening the doors often.
Supercool freezing may not be possible or the degree of
freezing or freezer burn may vary depending on the food type, cooking method, storage arrangement (stacking, storage location), the amount of food, and the storage time.
Depending on how much sugar, salt or fat that the food
contains, freezing may not be possible or the food may harden when frozen (cannot be cut immediately with a kitchen knife).
If the food has frozen hard, leave it for about 5 to 15 minutes
at room temperature and you should be able to cut it with a kitchen knife.

Do not open the doors more than necessary, and close them as soon as possible
If doors are opened frequently or are kept open for a long time, cold air escapes from the refrigerator and more power is consumed.
Even when a door is open only slightly, it can cause frost
or condensation, reduce the cooling performance, or generate water drips.
Arrange the food carefully
If too much food is packed inside the refrigerator or the air outlets are blocked, the fl ow of cold air is impaired, which inhibits the cooling of the food inside.

• Vegetables stay alive even after harvest. Being bathed in light, their nutrients are boosted up.
• There is almost no vegetable, fruit, drink or seasoning that cannot be preserved or stored being exposed to light.
• The vegetable nutrients are increased even with a weak light, so packaging does not need to be removed (except when the packaging completely blocks off the light).
• The vegetable nutrients are not increased forever. The preservation also depends on the freshness at the time of purchase. Eat vegetables when they are as fresh as possible.
• Because the vegetable compartment has a high humidity, fogging or condensation may form on the roof of the vegetable compartment or the bottom of the cases. Condensation forming on the bottom may make the case dirty, so wipe it off with a dry cloth.

Do not store food higher than the ice storage box (because it may
cause an ajar door, malfunction or damage).
When using the regular or quick ice making setting, do not put
anything other than ice. The level of the ice storage is checked automatically by the sensor
lever, and ice making is stopped when the ice reaches a certain level (about 80 to 140 ice cubes). To ensure that the ice storage level is detected correctly, make sure that the ice is fl at and that the ice server is kept in its storage position in the front right of the ice storage box.

(Detects the ice storage level.)
Do not pour anything other than cold water into the water tank, such as warm water, juice, tea or other liquids (the tank can resist heat up to 60°C).
Pouring anything other than cold water into the tank may damage the automatic ice maker or water supply pump.
Do not pour water directly into the ice tray to make ice.
Unfrozen water in the ice tray may fall into the ice storage box, and the ice may join not forming cubes.
When ice is made using water with a high mineral content, such as mineral water, white deposits (white crystals) may form in the ice.
