Abstract

An air circulation system in a two compartment refrigeration device is provided wherein a restriction device in the form of movable baffles is located in an air conduit connecting the two compartments. The baffles are held in a factory pre-set position by a detent arrangement and the baffles can be selectively moved relative to one another in a non rotatable fashion, such as linearly by service personnel in order to change the ratio of air flowing into the two compartments.
