Subject:Re: got the wrong vitro frigo

The original 3-way fridge needed ventilation from top to bottom because of
the design. The Vitrifrigo cooling unit radiator is small and placed
perfectly so that the airflow from the side cabinet vent and the upper slots
behind the sink/stove are more than adequate.

>I might be wrong here but the old fridge had a vent at the bottom. This was
to draw cool air from the floor up thru the back and out the vent on the
side and top. By putting the drawer in their, this kind of eliminates the
air flow. Nice job on the drawer but it will probably cause the fridge to
run a tad more than without it. You could vent the drawer some how I
guess.Since I installed my vitro I wouldn't even think of going back. These
things work great.
