Ventilation

Sufficient ventilation (airflow) over the bottom mounted 

condenser of the refrigerator is necessary for the 

refrigerator to operate correctly.  Cooler air goes into 

one side of the front lower grill and passes over the 

condenser.  The air removes heat from the condenser 

and the warmer air goes out through the other side of 

the front lower grill.  Make sure that the front lower grill 

is not blocked so the air can easily pass through it (See 

Art02325).

If you do not make sure that the ventilation is correct, a 

shortened refrigerator life expectancy, poor refrigeration, 

continuous operation, accelerated battery discharge and a void

warranty will result.

Installation Options

Install a decorative door panel

The decorative door panel must be 0.9 mm or less in thickness.

1.  Remove the door from the refrigerator by 

removing the four screws that attach the door 

hinge to the bottom of the refrigerator (See 

Art02326).

2.  Remove the panel retainer by removing the 

three (3) screws that attach the panel retainer 

(See Art02327).
