ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration below, cool air enters through the
refrigerator of the freezer section and moves up. Most of
the air then flows through the freezer section vents and
recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air
enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
•
Do not block any of these vents with food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or
cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide
section for details.)
Note: If you
close the
refrigerator door,
you may see the
freezer door
open and close
again due to
pressure from
internal air flow.
