Storing Deep-Frozen Foods; Thawing; Ice Cubes; Defrosting - JUNO JKI 1333 Operating Instructions Manual

Storing deep-frozen foods

(Only for model JKI 1333)
The compartment marked
ture of –18 C and is therefore suitable for storing ice-
creams and deep-frozen food.
For best use of the compartment
points should be noted: ensure that the deep-frozen
products have been correctly stored by the shopkeep-
er; keep transport times from the shop to your home
to a minimum; do not exceed the storage period
specified by the manufacturer; when the freezer has
not been used for some time; run it for at least two
hours with the thermostat dial set to the lowest tem-
perature before placing food inside and then reset to
normal operation; do not open the door if there is a
power failure. If the
failure does not last long, the food will not be affected;
otherwise, you are advised to consume it soon after.

Thawing

(Only for model JKI 1333)
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Ice cubes

(Only for model JKI 1333)
The appliance is provided with an ice cube tray.
This tray must be filled with drinking water and placed
in the compartment.
Never use metal tools to detach the tray.

Defrosting

The refrigerating compartment evaporator is automat-
ically defrosted every time the compressor stops. The
water drains out through a channel (Fig. 12) and is col-
lected in a container at the back above the compres-
sor where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrosting
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigeration
compartment channel (Fig. 12) to prevent the wa-
ter overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the discharge hole.

(Only for model JKI 1333)
In the compartment, the frost must be removed
whenever a thick layer accumulates (approx. 4 mm).
Do not use metal tools to remove the frost – they can
cause serious damage.
It is not necessary to switch the appliance off or take
the food out of the compartment during this opera-
tion.
If a thick layer of ice forms, the appliance must be
completely defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
set the thermostat dial to the «O» position or unplug
the appliance;
wrap the deep-frozen food in several sheets of news-
paper and put in a cool place;
leave the door open and, if you wish to speed up de-
frosting times, place a bowl of very hot water inside
the compartment (with a sheet of cardboard
underneath);
soak up the water that collects on the bottom with a
sponge and dry the walls thoroughly;
reset the thermostat dial to the required position or
plug the appliance in again. After running for two or
three hours, it will be ready to store deep-frozen foods
again.
