Abstract
A refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, includes an ice maker that ejects finished ice cubes in a downward direction and a drawer disposed below the ice maker, which can be moved between a pushed in and a pulled out position. An ice storage container can be positioned in two non-overlapping positions in the drawer, only one of which is below an ejection region of the ice maker in the pushed in position.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A refrigeration appliance or domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising:
an ice maker ejecting finished ice cubes in a downward direction into an ejection region; a drawer disposed below said ice maker and being movable between a pushed in position and a pulled out position; and an ice storage container configured to be positioned in two non-overlapping positions in said drawer, only one of said two non-overlapping positions being below said ejection region of said ice maker in said pushed in position of said drawer.
2 . The refrigeration appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said drawer is movable in a movement direction, and said two non-overlapping positions of said ice storage container are adjacent one another perpendicular to said movement direction of said drawer.
3 . The refrigeration appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said drawer has a base plate, and said ice storage container is displaceable between said two non-overlapping positions on said base plate.
