HOT-LINE
With
the freezer-refrigerator
in operation,
it is possible
that the housing
will
feel warm
at the front
edges, This does
not indicate
trouble.
It is attributable
to the hot-line
design
adopted
for
this
freezer-refrigerator
which
consists
of pip-
ing hot
gas from
the (motor-driven)
compressor
along the
front
edges of the housing
and the center
partition
to pre-
vent
moisture
from
accumulating.
This
has nothing
to do
with
the storage
temperature
inside.
