Why is there one glass shelf above the bottom drawer in my freezer?

    I think it is to stop your veg drying out.

    But you don’t  put fresh veg in the freezer …

    I think it might be to regulate air flow / temperature in some way, but why?
    It's above the smaller drawer that must have the workings behind it .

    So you can see what is in the drawer?  And allow a bit more ambient light in the the back of the drawer?

    At a guess, freezers have soild draw bases and are packed full of food so a light would be pointless.
    My chest freezers all have lights so I may well be wrong!
