Claim:
A slide system and a retractable compartment in an appliance, the system comprising: a pair of parallel vertical liner each having a set of mutually opposite ribs, each rib defining at least one recess, the ribs arranged to support a respective frame of the retractable compartment and allow slidable movement to the compartment; a set of slides in the retractable compartment extending along a perpendicular direction relative to a lateral back end of the retractable compartment; and at least one runner disposed to travel along a corresponding slide, the travel of the runner limited by the recess in the ribs, wherein the runner is configured to travel along a channel that extends between two consecutive vertically-spaced ribs arranged to provide an extra-travel distance to the retractable compartment, the system further including a C-guide disposed at the lateral back end of the retractable compartment, the C-guide arranged to prevent a rotational movement of the retractable compartment about the slides through the runner insert by engaging one of the ribs in a pulled-out position.
