vegetables. It retains the right level of moisture
and prevents drying out.

of location. It can carry different bottles and/or
cans, and it may also be used as a table bottle
support.
•Interior of the door is fitted with trays and shelves
for storage of cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt and
other small packages, cans, jars, etc. Closed
side pan can be used to store cosmetics, certain
drugs, and other sundries that need cooling.
Bottom part of the door is fitted with the bottle
rack and further below is the tube holder for
convenient storage of tubes without overturning.
