Easy Ice

*

The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer
compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available.
The trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.
Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an
extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or
left part of the top drawers.
