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.
