Proper food storage

Keep Kimchi in the Kimchi container
When using the Kimchi container, fill it up to the line so that the juice does not
get spilled over and before sure to close the lid tightly to reduce any exposure
to air. This will help prevent Kimchi from turning sour and forming molds on the
surface. Also you can prevent this by covering the surface of the Kimchi by
using the outer cabbage leaves or clean vinyl wrap.
Store vegetables and fruits in the designated container.
Because some vegetables and fruits can be damaged by the coldness, store them
in the designated container. Because washed vegetables can turn bad faster, do
not wash the vegetables before storing. Do not store tropical fruits (banana,
pineapple etc.) which can go bad at low temperature.
Cool down hot food before putting it into the appliance
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 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.

If you use the Plusroom as a freezer or a refrigerator, you can use similar containers or smaller bottle-type
containers.

Set the proper temperature for food storage.
If you select Fresh, Standard and Mature function for the Kimchi storage, it will turn sour fast. When
setting the storage temperature to "Max", it can make some types of Kimchi to freeze. Therefore you
check it frequently depending on the type of Kimchi. If you store other types of food with Kimchi in
one compartment, there are cases when the other type of food freezes.
