Cold air from the evaporator in under the fresh food
floor is sent up a channel to the fresh food compart-
ment and circulated as mixed air. It then falls through
the fresh food compartment until it is drawn in the air
return duct at the front of the fresh food floor. The
warmer air and moisture is then drawn past the
evaporator by the evaporator fan and starts the cycle
again.

Air is drawn by the evaporator fan, past the evapora-
tor and circulated into the lower freezer compart-
ment. The warmer air and moisture is then is drawn
by the evaporator fan through the air duct back past
the evaporator to continue the cycle.
