A panel and defrost plenum includes a manifold section, an air feed section and a branch section. The manifold section includes a first air distribution door, a second air distribution door and an optional third air distribution door. The manifold section also includes at least one actuator to displace the first air distribution door, the second air distribution door and the optional third air distribution door if present, between multiple operating positions. The air feed section is located upstream of the manifold section and functions to deliver an airstream past a package restriction to the manifold section. The branch section is downstream from the manifold section. A related method of routing an airstream past a package restriction is also disclosed.
