What is Defrosting?

It defrosts home-frozen meat or fish with warm air so that they are
slightly frozen and can be easily cut with a knife (center of the food
material: Approximately -8°C). It is possible to cut the meat or fish and
store the remaining parts in freezer again.

It is not a function to completely thaw the food materials.
It may be difficult to cut with a knife depending on the type of food.

In this case, leave it in room temperature for a while or carry out
Defrosting for additional several minutes.

The degree of defrosting may vary depending on where the food
material is placed.
Caution is required when Defrosting several different food materials.

Though it is possible to re-freeze the slightly frozen food materials,
their quality may deteriorate slightly.

Express Cooling

Notes

Do not let children touch the food
materials, containers and the rack
inside the temperature zone
selection compartment during
Express Cooling operation.

The food materials, containers, and parts
inside the container may be hot and cause
accidental burns.

To carry out Express Cooling on high-temperature
liquid food materials, be sure to close the lid or
use a well-closed container.

Neglect may cause the food material to spill and cause burns
when other people pull out the temperature zone selection
compartment case.

We recommend using a plastic wrap or lid on food products with
strong scents. Neglect to do so may cause the scent to be
transmitted to other compartments.

It refreshes the heated food materials.
The temperature zone selection compartment will automatically

switch to "Cooling" when it is completed.

Express Cooling: This mode cools down the heat of the food materials

or dishes immediately after heating to the temperatures warm to touch.

Precautions in setting "Crunchy Freezing" and "Freezing" modes

Do not touch the temperature zone selection compartment with wet hands.

Do not pour water directly into the temperature zone selection
compartment case to make ice.
The temperature zone selection compartment case may become deformed.
Do not store the following materials:
Carbonated beverages …It may cause the liquid inside to spurt and
stain the temperature zone selection compartment.
Cooling materials (materials used to cool by mixing the agents inside
by tapping, etc.) … It may generate rust when the materials inside
(urea, ammonium nitrate, etc.) leaks.

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the
food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Dairy Products & Eggs

Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature
and shelf life of the product.

Eggs should be stored in the egg holder.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap. Then, place in the chilled case.
For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of the shelves.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an airtight container.

Notes

Shelves…Do no place foods sticking out to the front.

Foods may become caught onto the doors, causing them to fall as a result.

Pockets…Do not store food containers that do not reach the pocket bottom (bottles, cans, etc.)

or unstable (tall) containers that may easily collapse (bottles, cans, etc.).
They may fall and cause injury.

About condensation

Condensation may be noticed within the refrigerator when the humidity is high or when doors are frequently
opened. Wipe with a dry cloth.
Since the humidity within the refrigerator is high, condensation may be noticed temporarily on foods stored
in the upper pockets.

Do not allow hard objects to hit the sensor.

Notes

Vegetable compartment is cooled indirectly to maintain high humidity. Thus, cooling may take some time when storing
many vegetables or beverages during the summer.

Crispers may fog or build up condensation when storing many leafy vegetables since the humidity within the vegetable
compartment is high. Wipe off condensation with a dry cloth as condensation build-up at the bottom of crisper will cause soiling.

When storing too much foods

Foods will hit the vegetable crisper lid and the
crisper cannot be pushed in/pulled out.

Notes about PLASMACLUSTER operation

The ionizer inside your refrigerator releases clusters of ions, which are
collective masses of positive and negative ions, into the fridge
compartment. These ion clusters reduce airborne mold fungus.

Replacement of parts is not required.

Cluster ions are generated from water molecules (H20) and
oxygen molecules (O2) within the air.
There are not parts to be replaced periodically.

Health issues

Since cluster ions are structured by ions created from molecules
of water and oxygen commonly existing in the natural
environment, there are no effects on your health.
(Although there is slight generation of ozone, the amount
produced has no effect on your health.)

Notes

Buzzing sound will be heard during operation.

This is the sound of cluster ions being discharged and is not a malfunction.
The sound may become louder, softer or even silent depending on the humidity of the kitchen; however, this is not a malfunction.

There may be a slight odors in the fridge compartment.
This is the smell of ozone generated by the ionizer.
The amount of ozone is minimal, and quickly decomposes in the fridge compartment.

Symptom

Refrigerator does not
cool or cool well

Is the Temperature control on the "Min" side?

Set it back to "Normal" to "Max" Leaving the freezer compartment with "Min"
setting may also cause the fridge compartment temperature to also become high.
In this case, set the fridge compartment setting to "Max"

Is the ambient temperature high?

Move refrigerator away from the heat source and reinstall in a place
away from direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated and cool location.

Reason / Remedy

There can be a flaw where more than one
cluster of plastic filled during part molding
meets together or on a die joint.
This is not a production fault and will not
lead up to a crack.

Is there space around the refrigerator?

Space is required for releasing heat.

Did you store hot food materials? Be sure to store food after cooling it down sufficiently.

Is there excessive storage of foods? Is the intake port/discharge ports blocked?

Space out foods.

Are the doors being frequently opened? Do not open the doors as much as possible.
Are doors half open from bags of food products, etc. being caught in between?
Is the refrigerator hitted by warm air directly in low outside temperature?

If the temperature does not drop even by taking the above measures, pull out the power plug once and reconnect it after 5 minutes to see if it works.

There is noticeable
noise

Is the refrigerator touching the wall?
Is the installation unstable and the refrigerator jolting?

the freezer compartment to Normal.

Is the ambient temperature 5°C or less?
When the ambient temperature is low, foods may freeze even when the temperature setting is at Min.

Are warm foods stored under the temperature sensor of the fridge compartment?

Cooling operation may continue and foods may freeze as the sensor
judges the temperature to not be cold.
