AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure the proper refrigerator and
freezer compartment temperatures, air must
be able to flow between the two sections.
Air enters the bottom of the freezer compart-
ment and moves up through the evaporator.
Some of the cooled air from the evaporator is
directed back into the freezer, and the rest
goes into the refrigerator through the motor-
ized air door. The refrigerator air then returns to
the freezer through the bottom air return (see
the illustration below).
It is important not to block any of the vents with
food items. If the vents are blocked, airflow will
be restricted, and the temperature manage-
ment system will not function properly.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between
both sections, any odors formed in one sec-
tion will transfer to the other. Keep both sec-
tions clean, and wrap or cover foods tightly to
prevent odors from occurring.
