Abstract: A method of cooling a vending machine in which the products are stored behind a closable opening at the front side of the vending machine, said opening being opened for a direct removal of the product at the activation of the vending machine, said method implying that a flow of cold air (36, 37, and 42) is directed substantially between the products adjacent the delivery area and the opening. The vending machine comprises a plurality of drums (3) rotatably journalled about a vertical axis, as well as a front window adapted to be opened for a direct access to at least one removal opening (8). The flow of air in question is provided by means of a vertical outlet slot (22) directed substantially tangentially towards the front side of the drums (3) and a horizontal downward outlet slot (26).
