Soft Freezing (Sliceable frozen food)
Items that are not suitable for soft freezing
Items that can not be frozen normally are not suitable for soft freezing either. Form and quality of such items after freezing are not guaranteed.
Example: konyaku (nutrition yam paste), bean curd, milk, eggs, potatoes, etc.
The soft freezer cannot preserve commercial ice cream or frozen foods. Store these items in the freezer compartment.
Soft Freezing
Meat and Fish
Though your meat or fish may seem as frozen as if it were frozen normally, with soft freezing you need not separate food or wait for it to thaw because your meat or fish can be cut with a knife immediately after you remove them from the versa compartment, thereby shortening your cooking time!
Items that have been transferred from freezer to soft freezer or soft freezer to freezer should be used within 1-2 weeks.
Blocks of meat
Meat that has been stored in the freezer or was bought frozen can be transferred to the soft freezer, so you can divide up and remove only the amount that you want to use.
Depending on its size, your meat should be ready to cut within 2-5 hours after it is transferred to the soft freezer.
Thinly sliced meat or bacon
Thinly sliced meat or bacon can be cut immediately. They will thaw while cooking or dipped in basting, during which time you can easily separate them.
They may not be able to be separated immediately after they are removed from the soft freezer.
Ground meat
You can cut and remove the amount you want to use.
Furthermore, if you cut them into small cubes, they will thaw enough in 15-30 minutes for you to loosen with your hands.
Cutlets and cod roe
Cutlets can be cooked on a low flame without taking the time to thaw them. Cod roe and other highly salted foods do not freeze and can be used immediately.
Fruit
The soft freezer is recommended for very sweet fruit. Try soft freezing with various fruit.
Eat fruit frozen without thawing.
(these fruit will not be fresh again after thawing)
The flavor of fruit kept in the soft freezer for more than 1 week may change. It is recommended to eat fruit within 2-3 days to best enjoy its new taste.
Freezing time may vary depending on sugar content of the fruit, so allow 1 day for freezing.
Smoothie
Blend soft-frozen fruit and yogurt and milk in a blender to make an easy healthy drink.
Example: Cut half a peeled apple into bite-size pieces, and a peeled kiwi into 1-cm circular slices. Freeze fruit in the soft freezer. Then blend soft-frozen apple and kiwi, 250cc of milk and honey (if you like) in a mixer until it becomes smooth.
(makes 2 servings)
Watermelon
Make watermelon ice by cutting watermelon into bite-size pieces and freezing in the soft freezer.
Canned fruit
Soft-freeze mikan oranges or pineapple in its syrup to make easy sherbet.
May not freeze depending on the sugar content of the syrup.
Others
Meat sauce
Store left over sauces in an airtight container. You can remove the sauce with a spoon and use it as a universal sauce with gratin or omelets.
Sauces with high liquid content may not be removable with a spoon.
Line the inside of a storage container with plastic wrap, pour sauce into container, remove by holding the wrap and cut the amount you need with a knife.
Spinach
Boil spinach, place it in an airtight container and soft-freeze for later use in miso soup or butter saute.
Fermented soybeans and fried bean curd
Fermented soybeans can be mixed immediately after removal from the versa compartment.
Chilled fermented soybeans can be quite tasty. You can cut the amount of fried bean curd you want to use.
Short notes for users:
Please pay attention to the following when using soft freezing
Since food freezes takes place at approximately -7˚C with soft freezing, it may take up to 24 hours for food to freeze completely.
Open and close compartment doors with as low frequency as possible when you add items to the soft freezer.
The degree of freezing may vary depending on the type of item, cooking method, arrangement of item (folded and layered or location of item), amount, and period of storage.
Items may not freeze or may freeze too much (for cutting with a knife) depending on content of sugar, salt and fat.
Items that have frozen too much can be cut with a knife if they are left in room temperature for 5-15 minutes.
Adjust the temperature in accordance with degree of freezing.
page
10
When not frozen enough When frozen too much
Adjust soft freezing setting to “H”1-2˚C below “M”
Adjust soft freezing setting to “L”1-2˚C above “M”
Foods that do not freeze easily Foods that freeze easily
Food with high salt content, such as cod roe
Food pre-seasoned with soy sauce or bean paste
Food with high sugar content, such as stewed beans
Food with high sugar content, such as bananas
Food with high water content, such as boiled vegetables

Ice level sensor lever
(Detects the ice storage level)
When storing food items in the ice storage bin, they must not be higher than the top of the bin. (This can cause a malfunction or prevent the door from closing.)
The ice level sensor lever will detect the ice storage automatically, and will stop ice making when it reaches a certain amount. (app. 60 to 100pcs.) In order to detect the ice level correctly, please make the ice flat and put the ice server in the front of the ice storage bin. The automatic ice maker could be damaged if it contacts an object.
Do not poor anything like sugar, juice, tea or soft drinks, in the water tank. (Heat resisting temperature, app. 60°C)
Placing liquid other than water may cause damage to the automatic ice maker or water supply pump.
Do not fill the water tank higher than the full-level mark.
Filling the water tank with a kettle while it is still in the tank holder, or filling it higher than the full-level mark may cause “connected” ice to form.
Making Ice
Select , or on the control panel.
page
11
Initial setting of the ice making compartment at installation is .
Ice shapes
The shape of ice is trapezoid but somewhat flat and uneven
The size of ice made for one time may vary with the water amount in the water tank.
One batch of ice is 5-8 pieces.
If the water tank is filled above the full-level mark, the water channels in the ice tray will freeze, causing 2-3 pieces of ice to stick together and bumpy ice.
Check the amount of water remaining in the water tank.
Open the door to the refrigerator compartment and check the level from above the tank.
If some pieces of ice stored long time, they will be stuck or become smaller. (This phenomenon is called “sublimation”.)
Remove the water tank. Remove the water supply port cap and fill the tank with water.
Up to the full-level mark
Replace the water tank holding it level.
Tipping the tank will cause water spillage.
If the water tank does not fit properly in place, ice will not be made.
In addition, it can cause the water tank to freeze.
Check that there is no foreign material in the tank holder or water supply pipe.
Ice making time
Approximate time for making one set of ice
Quick ice making mode
60-90 minutes
Regular ice making mode
100-120 minutes
Crystal ice making mode
5-8 hours
One batch of ice: 5 to 8 pieces
Clear ice is made slowly to increase the clarity of the ice cube.
The time may vary according to the ambient temperature of the refrigerator or its usage condition and the type of water used. It may take longer time than given above.
It is recommended not to open or close the ice making compartment door, when making clear ice.
The quickly made ice may be cracked or split due to fast freezing.
About Crystal Ice
There may be white sediment (white crystal) or bubbles inside the ice cube.
In cases below, may cause clear ice into such white sediment ice.
• When the mode has been changed from “REG(Regular), “QCK
(Quick)”, “STOP(Stop)” to “CRL(Crystal)”.
(It is set at mode at the time of installation).
• Ice made of water containing much mineral.
(This white sediment is a crystal of mineral ingredients)
• When surrounding temperature, status of use have changed.
• When pieces of ice are stored long time in the ice storage bin.
(Frost will cover the ice. If it is put into water, the frost will dissolve.)
When you want to change the clarity of the ice or the ice making time operation page

Short notes for users:
Ice made of water containing much mineral such as mineral water might cause white sediment (white crystal). When the ice melts into water, it may appear fibrous. This white sediment is a crystal of mineral ingredients, which is not harmful.
The V-LED lamp comes on in the following condition.
• When the door of the refrigerator compartment or ice making compartment is kept open
(However, the lamp goes out when the door is kept open for 5 minutes.)
• Before and after feeding water into the ice tray.
The time required for making ice might be longer according to the frequency of closing and opening the door, the temperature around the refrigerator, and the amount and temperature of the water added to the tank.
