Abstract: There is described a filter assembly (2) comprising a filter housing (15) and a removable filter cartridge (16) arranged and/or arrangeable within the filter housing (15). The filter assembly (2) comprises an expelling device configured to exert an expelling force onto the filter cartridge (16) when being arranged within the filter housing (15) for at least partially directing the filter cartridge (16) out of the filter housing (15) and a control device controllable into a locking configuration for blocking the filter cartridge (16) within the filter housing (15) and/or for counter-acting against the expelling force and an unlocking configuration for allowing the expelling force to at least partially expel the filter cartridge (16) from the filter housing (15). The control device comprises at least a first interaction element (20) and a second interaction element (21) interacting and/or being configured to interact with one another with the control device being controlled into the locking configuration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, in particular a refrigerator or a fridge-freezer (2). The refrigeration appliance comprises a housing (4), a refrigerating compartment (6) formed within the housing (4), a slidably and releasably supported first drawer (20a) having a first vertical extension, a second slidably and releasably supported second drawer (20b) having a second vertical extension being greater than the first vertical extension of the first drawer (20a), and a first, a second and a third drawer support position (72a, 72b, 74a, 74b, 76a, 76b), wherein in vertical direction the first drawer support position (72a, 72b) is higher than the second drawer support position (74a, 74b) and the second drawer support position (74a, 74b) is higher than the third drawer support position (76a, 76b).

Abstract: A refrigerator has a temperature-controlled drawer within a fresh food compartment that includes: a temperature sensor within the temperature-controlled drawer and/or the fresh food compartment; a display coupled to the drawer, wherein the display receives an output from the temperature sensor, determines what food type would be best suited for the temperature based on said temperature sensor output, and indicates what type of food it has determined is best for storage therein; at least one light within said drawer, wherein the at least one light changes to a first color, based on the food type indicated by the display, and turns off and on depending on whether the fresh food compartment door is closed or open, respectively.

Abstract: A refrigerator including a controller for controlling a cooling system of the refrigerator. The controller configured to have at least two modes, wherein in a first mode the controller controls the cooling system to achieve a desired temperature within a fresh food compartment without respect to a temperature in a temperature-controlled drawer, and in a second mode the controller controls the cooling system to achieve a desired temperature within the temperature-controlled drawer without respect to the temperature in the fresh food compartment.

Abstract: A refrigerator is proposed comprising a fluid mixing apparatus (100) for adding a gas, contained in a storage bottle (125) provided with a valve device (130), to a liquid within a mixing chamber (105); the mixing between the gas and the liquid within the mixing chamber forms a composite solution of mixed gas and liquid and gas being not mixed with the liquid. The pressure value of said non-mixed gas is indicative of the amount of mixed gas within the composite solution. The fluid mixing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a pressure detector (199) configured to detect the pressure value of the non-mixed gas within the mixing chamber; and control means (145, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195, 197) for controlling, as a function of the detected pressure value, the opening or closing of said valve device in order to automatically adjust the gas flow from the storage bottle to the mixing chamber.
