●
Foods high in water content may freeze if ambient temperature is low.

The CO
2
sensor may fail to detect carbon dioxide levels properly due to the freshness and amount of food, and temperature
setting is automatically switched to SUBZERO that could cause food to freeze.

Set to AUTO before placing food in the refrigerator.
The Vacuum Compartment performs an automatic switchover to CHILLER or
SUBZERO upon detection of carbon dioxide. The compartment is automatically set
to SUBZERO when vegetables are stored and is set to CHILLER if not.
The following foods should be stored at CH
I
LLER setting.
Manually set the compartment temperature at +1˚C.
※
The AUTO setting switches temperature to -1°C, which could
cause the foods to freeze because of a low level of carbon dioxide.
Meat, fish and processed meat/fish should be stored at
SUBZERO setting. This setting is also suited for thawing. Foods
high in water content may freeze.
The vacuum function is disabled. This setting is recommended
to store food in sealed bags or sealed containers which
requires caution in storing. Foods high in water content may
freeze because this is a regular ice-temperature compartment.
Vienna sausage, sliced cheese etc.
Beef, pork, poultry, ham,
sausages etc.
Horse mackerel, sardine, saury,

The compartment is designed to be at +1°C immediately after AUTO mode is selected until the CO
2
sensor
detects the type of food.
●
Stabilization of the CO
2
sensor requires about 40 minutes when AUTO mode is selected. The sensor does
not detect carbon dioxide if food is stored during the time.
