➔ To store ripened kimchi, use a storage function such as [Kimchi].
If the kimchi is to be consumed soon, set [Kimchi] to [H] and if the kimchi is to be consumed at a later stage, set [Kimchi] to [M].
For kimchi that is not as salty, such as water kimchi or radish kimchi, set the cooling to [L].
For kimchi of medium saltiness such as cabbage kimchi or mustard kimchi, set the cooling to [M].
For very salty kimchi, such as over fermented kimchi, set the cooling to [H].
➔To accelerate the ripening of freshly made kimchi, select [Fermentation].
Fermentation mode senses the external temperature and automatically applies the best fermentation settings so you can enjoy good kimchi throughout all seasons.
