5. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein said door has an inner liner facing said flank part, and said at least two bosses are integrated on said inner liner.

6. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein each of said bosses are compliant to a shape of a respective one of said at least two storage compartments.

7. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein each of said bosses has dimensions substantially close to dimensions of an inlet opening of a respective one of said at least two storage compartment.

8. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein said door includes a decorative panel covering said at least two storage compartments.

9. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein said door includes at least two pull-out brackets connected to side walls of said body.

10. The cooling device according to claim 9 , wherein said door includes one or more further pull-out brackets connected to said insulation wall.

11. The cooling device according to claim 9 , further comprising respective seals disposed on a base of said channel for each of said bosses.

12. The cooling device according to claim 9 , wherein said bosses overlap said insulation wall in a depth direction of the cooling device.
