1. A refrigerator comprising: a main body having an enclosable interior compartment, the compartment including at least one wall having and at least one channel recessed into the wall;at least one shelf mounted in the compartment; anda fixing rail including a base part to be fixedly secured in the channel, the base part including a slot, and an insert that is adapted to be slidably received in the slot,wherein the base part, in cross section or along an end view, has a bottom portion that faces a bottom of the channel, side portions that face sides of the channel, and a top portion that is positioned flush with or slightly below a plane defined by adjacent portions of the wall,wherein the base part further comprises a transition between the top portion and each side portion, the transition including a curved radius that converges with the top portion to form an outwardly extending pointed tip that is positioned flush with or slightly below the plane defined by adjacent portions of the wall,wherein the fixing rail is mounted to the wall and within the channel so that the fixing rail is positioned substantially flush with the plane defined by portions of the wall adjacent to the channel,wherein a side of each channel and the corresponding wall of the compartment form a curved corner such that the curved radius of the transition is flush with the curved corner, andwherein the fixing rail has a plurality of mounting locations for the shelf to allow adjustable mounting of the shelf relative to the wall. 2. The refrigerator according to claim 1, further comprising a compressor to circulate a refrigerant through a plurality of coils mounted on the main body. 3. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the insert has a stop formed at one end thereof that is adapted to rest on an upper shoulder of the base part. 4. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the insert has an L shape. 5. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the base part comprises an extrusion. 6. The refrigerator according to claim 1, further comprising a fastener to secure the base part to the wall, wherein the base part includes an access opening, in communication with the slot, to allow passage of a tool for engagement with the fastener, the insert including a plurality of apertures to allow height-adjustable mounting of the shelf, at least one of the apertures being sized to allow passage of the tool to access the fastener. 7. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the slot includes lateral sides to engage lateral edges of the insert. 8. The refrigerator according to claim 7, wherein each lateral side comprises a protrusion extending generally perpendicular to the wall. 9. The refrigerator according to claim 8, wherein each said protrusion includes an adjacent open space laterally outside the protrusion. 10. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the base part has a generally U-shape, with each interior side of the U-shape having an inwardly oriented projection, each inwardly oriented projection having an end projection to support a face of the insert and an intermediate projection to guide a lateral edge of the insert. 11. The refrigerator according to claim 10, further comprising a space between the end and intermediate projections, and a space between the intermediate projection and the interior side. 12. The refrigerator according to claim 10, wherein the base part further includes a generally rectangular opening positioned along the bottom portion of the U-shape. 13. The refrigerator according to claim 12, further comprising an access opening in communication with the rectangular opening and the slot. 14. The refrigerator according to claim 10, wherein the side portions are generally linear and uninterrupted from the bottom portion to the top portion. 15. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the main body further comprises at least one fixture or component positioned above and/or below the fixing rail, the fixing rail extending behind the fixture or component. 16. The refrigerator according to claim 1, further comprising a drawer with a center section and at least one end cap, wherein the end cap is aligned with the fixing rail. 17. The refrigerator according to claim 16, wherein the end cap and the fixing rail have substantially the same width. 18. A fixing rail comprising: a base part including: two side portions facing one another,a top portion extending from each side portion,a bottom portion extending from each side portion, an interior surface of the bottom portion facing an interior surface of each top portion such that each side portion is positioned between corresponding ones of the top portion and the bottom portion,an inwardly oriented projection attached to and extending from an interior side of each said side portion between each said top portion and said bottom portion,a protrusion extending toward said top portion from each said inwardly oriented projection and each protrusion being inwardly spaced from and parallel to each said side portion, said protrusion having an upper end spaced from the top portion, anda slot defined, at least in part, by a lateral side surface of each of the protrusions that is parallel to each of the side portions; andan insert shaped and dimensioned to be slidably received in the slot between each of the protrusions such that each of the protrusions are separated by the insert, the insert having lateral edges that are parallel, and each lateral edge engages the lateral side surface of a corresponding protrusion that faces the slot,wherein each said inwardly oriented projection further includes an end projection to support a lower face of the insert. 19. The fixing rail according to claim 18, wherein each said end projection is spaced from its relative protrusion. 20. The fixing rail according to claim 18, wherein a height of the protrusion is greater than a height of the end projection. 21. A fixing rail in combination with a refrigerator for mounting a shelf within a recess on a wall of said refrigerator, the fixing rail comprising: a base part having a slot; andan insert slidably received within the slot,wherein the base part comprises a top portion dimensioned and configured to be positioned flush with or slightly below a plane defined by adjacent portions of the wall,wherein the base part, in cross section, has a bottom portion, and side portions extending from the bottom portion and connected to the top portion,wherein the base part further comprises a transition between the top portion and each side portion, the transition including a curved radius that converges with the top portion to form an outwardly extending pointed tip that is positioned flush with or slightly below the plane defined by adjacent portions of the wall, andwherein the curved radius of the transition is shaped and dimensioned to be flush with a curved corner formed between a side of the recess and the wall of the refrigerator. 22. The fixing rail according to claim 21, wherein the base part has a generally U-shape. 23. The fixing rail according to claim 22, wherein side portions of the generally U-shape are generally linear and uninterrupted from a bottom portion of the U-shape to the top portion. 24. The fixing rail according to claim 22, wherein the top portion defines a planar surface extending to each respective outer edge of said top portion.
