3. PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed : -

A DUAL PURPOSE REFRIGERATOR
The invention relates a dual purpose refrigerator wherein the refrigerator having a non-refrigerating area at the bottom for providing multiple utility baskets which are used for storing material or keeping food in warm condition.
Refrigerators having cooling compartments are already known but refrigerator having cooling compartment at the top and heating compartment at the bottom by using compressor coils spirally arrange at the bottom of the baskets below the perforated metal plates so as to use the dicipated heat of the referigerator for warming of the food products and the like wherein the energy saving by utilising the heat that is spent outside.
Summary of the Invention
• Refrigerator with a non-refrigerated drawer at the base to store any food items.
• The invention relates to a new type of refrigerator construction which incorporates non-refrigerated compartment in the form of a drawer situated at the bottom part of the refrigerator,
• The bottom part of the refrigerator has a necessary sliding arrangement for the drawer to be pulled out.
• The drawer is suitably shaped to incorporate an handle.
• One form of the invention comprises of the plastic base which forms an integral part of the refrigerator construction.
• This plastic base comprises of all necessary details commonly known to accept and support a compressor & other related components.
• One of the advantages of this invention is that the lower cost models of this refrigerator need not be equipped with a drawer facia assembly.
• It can be equipped with only a facia assembly.

• The refrigerator consists of a refrigerated compartment at the top and a non-refrigerated compartment at the bottom. The non-refrigeration section comprises a compartment (7) open at the front and having a perforated base (5) (FIGS. 4 and 5). A drawer (6) is slidably engaged in the compartment (7) through the open front thereof for storage of food items to be kept warm.
