I need a copy of the manual in English?

John, I do not think there is any "owners" manual. The device is very easy to use. Simply prep the cabbage by slicing thin and thoroughly mixing with 2 or 3 tablespoons of salt per five pound of cabbage in a large bowl. Then "massage or knead" the cabbage for about ten minutes until it begins to yield water. Put into e-Jen and prep another five pounds. Do this until you have as much as you want (I usually do 15 pounds). Press the inner insert down as far as you can, leaving the "blow hole" open. When you can't press any further, close the blow hole, put top on and leave in a cool place I put mine on the concrete floor of the garage) for at least four weeks. You can test every once in a while to see if it has fermented to your taste. If not, close again and wait another week.

How does this prevent mold from building up? How is the plug used?

to prevent mold build up you fill the container up with kimchi until it is roughly an inch from the top then place the plastic insert with the plug open into the container and press down until Kimchi juice is about to come through the plug. At that point you plug it up and place it in the fridge. This creates a good airtight seal. It is also helpful to place an extra layer of clear plastic wrap before the lid to help eliminate odor escaping.That

Has anyone made sauerkraut with this? Any problems?

Did not have problems. Got perfect sauerkraut. Liked the container - easy to clean, easy to close, no smell in the fridge etc.

Can you use these for pickles ?

Yes, you can make fermented pickles and you can make a myriad of other fermented vegetables as well. My latest project was fermented onions and before that, I made kimchi.
