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). When A) the first or second drawer (20a, 20b) is supported at the first drawer support position (72b) the upper levels of the first and second drawers (20a, 20b) are at the same vertical position within the refrigerating compartment (6), and when the first drawer (20a) is supported at the third drawer support position (76b) or when the second drawer (20b) is supported at the second drawer support position (74b) the lower levels of the first and second drawers (20a, 20b) are at the same vertical position within the refrigerating compartment (6), or when B) the first or second drawer (20a, 20b) is supported at the third drawer support position (76a) the upper levels of the first and second drawers (20a, 20b) are at the same vertical position within the refrigerating compartment (6), and when the first drawer (20a) is supported at the second drawer support position (74a) or when the second drawer (20b) is supported at the first drawer support position (72a) the lower levels of the first and second drawers (20a, 20b) are at the same vertical position within the refrigerating compartment (6).
