  • Publication number: 20220235995
    Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes an inner space, an evaporator assembly extending at a wall of the inner space, a retaining device including a base plate extending between the wall and the evaporator assembly, and protrusions protruding from the wall on a first and a second edge of the base plate. At least the protrusion protruding on the first edge includes an elastic clip that can be deflected out of a position in which it engages with a first outer section of the evaporator assembly into a position in which it releases the outer section. A method for mounting an evaporator assembly on a wall of an inner space of a refrigeration appliance is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11137196
    Abstract: A household refrigerator has a receiving space for food which is delimited by walls of an inner container. A covering plate that is separate from the inner container is arranged in the receiving space in front of a wall of the inner container. A functional unit of the household refrigerator is arranged in the receiving space in front of the wall and in one spatial direction of the household refrigerator the covering plate ends next to the functional unit. The functional unit is covered, at least in certain sections, by a cover that is separate from the covering plate.

  • Patent number: 10969158
    Abstract: A household refrigerator has a receiving space for food, a back panel delimiting the receiving space at the back, a no-frost unit, and an air channel arranged behind the back panel and connected to the no-frost unit and has an outlet opening by which cold air from the no-frost unit can be introduced into the receiving space. A suction opening is provided by way of which air can be sucked out of the receiving space by the no-frost unit. The outlet opening and the suction opening are arranged at different levels. A baffle plate is arranged vertically between the outlet opening and the suction opening. The plate is arranged on the back panel and extends forwards in the direction of a loading opening, so cold air blown into the receiving space via the outlet opening flows around a leading edge of the baffle plate that faces the loading opening.

  • Patent number: 10260799
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration device has an internal space for receiving foodstuffs, which is bounded by walls of an internal container, and a storage container for foodstuffs that is arranged in the internal space and can be closed with a lid. The refrigerator further has a mounting device with which the lid is mounted in the internal space such that it can be raised and lowered for opening and closing the food storage container. A control element is provided by which the lid can be actuated, wherein the control element for actuating the lid can be actuated along an actuation path and the lid can be positioned, in dependence on a position of the control element, in a first closed position and at least in a second fully open position. The control element itself has a display unit for displaying symbolic information depending on the position of the lid.

  • Patent number: 10203151
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance with a housing in which a receiving chamber for foodstuffs is formed, is delimited by walls of an interior container, and is formed with an additional compartment for foodstuffs in the receiving chamber comprising delimiting walls by way of which a receiving volume of the additional compartment is delimited. Delimiting walls can be separated and joined non-destructively, thus enabling the additional compartment to be reversibly assembled and disassembled in the receiving chamber.

  • Publication number: 20180164029
    Abstract: A household refrigeration appliance has a receiving space for foodstuffs which is delimited by walls of an inner container, and a cover plate which is separate from the inner container and is arranged in the receiving space forward of a wall of the inner container. The cover plate is connected to a rail system of the household refrigeration appliance. A functionally first connection type is embodied at a first connection point and a second connection type that is functionally different from the first connection type is embodied at a second connection point at a different location from the first connection point. We also describe a method for installing a cover plate in a household refrigeration appliance.
