ENSURING
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
SETTING THE CONTROLS
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections As shown
in the illustrationbelow, air enters at top of freezer and
circulates down From bottom of freezer, air is forced up
to top of refrigerator Air enters refrigerator through top
vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns
to freezer
• Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that
lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and

• If water or foreign subs_nces

of escaping cool air
