CROSS RAIL

The cross rail contains part of the condenser copper tubing (mullion heater) providing heat to the gasket area
between the PC and FC compartments, preventing sweating of the gasket. Also mounted on the cross rail is
the Reed Sensor, under the plastic cover behind each of the French doors and behind the FC drawer.

DIVIDER PARTITION

This is moulded in two outer pieces and has an inner polystyrene moulded duct assembly that is wax coated.
This provides a barrier between the FC and PC compartments, also allowing return air from the PC to move
back to the FC evaporator. The PC fan motor is housed in the back of the divider. It also houses the low
ambient heater. The divider is fitted into the cabinet as an assembly and cannot be replaced.
