FAQs

Q: Why is my kimchi freezing?
A: Kimchi's storage temperature is around 32°F (0C°). The exact freezing point of kimchi varies
depending on the type of kimchi, seasoning, and the amount of salt. If kimchi is freezing, change the
storage temperature.
• If the storage temperature is (H), change it to (M) or (L).
• If the storage temperature is (M), change it to (L).
• L=Low Cooling (cold)
M=Medium Cooling (colder)
H=High Cooling (coldest)
Q: Why is my kimchi fermenting too quickly?
A: Storing kimchi at the Fast Chill setting will speed up the fermentation process.
To avoid this, cancel the Fast Chill setting and select Storage.
If the storage temperature is too high, kimchi will turn sour quickly. To avoid this, change the storage
temperature. The storage temperature settings change in the order of (L) → (M) → (H). Kimchi may
ferment at different speeds depending on the type of kimchi, seasoning, and temperature at which it is
made. Cover kimchi containers with plastic wrap or tightly-fitting lids before storing them to keep
kimchi fresh longer.
Q: Why is my kimchi wilted or mushy?
A: Adding too little salt will result in kimchi that looks okay at first but wilts and turns mushy as it
ferments. Adding salty seafood can also cause kimchi to ferment more quickly and become mushy.
Q: Why is my kimchi turning dark?
A: If you store kimchi for a long time, contact with the air will cause it to oxidize and become dark.
Cover the inside of the kimchi container with plastic wrap to prevent kimchi from becoming dark.
Q: There is white mold on the surface of the Kimchi and the cabbage has dried out. What did I do
wrong?
A: If the lid of the kimchi container is not completely closed, the kimchi will come into contact with air,
resulting in white yeast forming on the surface of the kimchi or cabbage drying out. Cover containers
with plastic wrap before storing to prevent yeast from forming on kimchi.
Q: Is it normal for ice to form on the lid of the kimchi container?
A: When kimchi is stored at the best temperature for long-term storage, it is normal for some frost to form
on the lid of the container.
