REFRIGERATOR USE
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator section through the top vent. On Style 2 models, this air is also evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment through six vents on the back wall. Air then returns to the freezer as shown.

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed 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 avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
