Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows
cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or inte-
rior air to flow into the storage compartment.
We recommend closing the air supply if it is operated in heating mode or the cool-
ing system for the storage compartment is not being used.
