Tips for storing vegetables
It is recommended to store garlic, onions, potatoes,
sweet potatoes and pumpkins (whole) in a cool dark
place (where the room temperature is kept constant
and low and away from direct sunlight).
If you put food in the Vegetable Compartment for a long time, the color may change or the taste
may deteriorate depending on the food. The food may lose vitamin C, become moldy, and rot.
What to do in the following cases
When you are storing a small quantity of vegetables, it may not be possible to maintain high humidity, so please wrap the vegetables in cellophane wrap.
Due to the high humidity in the Vegetable Compartment, depending on the amount and type of vegetables, condensation may form on the
case, the surface of the moisture unit, or the surface of food. If you are concerned about condensation, wrap the food in cellophane wrap.
If the moisture unit is blocked by a food bag or container, a large amount of condensation will occur. Move the food bag or container
blocking the moisture unit to another location.
Food can easily get damaged if water collects in the case so wipe off the dew condensation with a soft cloth.
When storing dry food such as rice or seaweed in the Vegetable Compartment, put it in a closed container (bag) before storing.
Dried food may absorb moisture.
