USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

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, 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.

MULTI-FLOW

• Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling

operation. This is especially noticeable when
new food is placed in the refrigerator
compartment.

• If water or foreign substances enter the cool air

vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In
addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may
be lowered because of escaping cool air.

Do not block any of cool air 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 drying out of food, wrap
or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage
Guide section for details.)

SETTING THE CONTROLS

dispenser options, water filter, door alarm, and
locking status messages.
