Abstract: There is described a food cooling appliance (1) having an outer casing (2) extending along a vertical reference axis (A); a food cooling chamber (3) housed inside the outer casing (2) and of a given length (L1) measured along the reference axis; at least one food-supporting shelf (5) positioned firmly, m but in easily removable manner, inside the cooling chamber; a primary inductor (8) extending in a direction parallel to the reference axis, and of a length (L2) substantially equal or less than the length of the cooling chamber; one or more light-emitting units (18) located along an outer peripheral edge of the shelf and coplanar with the shelf; and at least on secondary inductor (9) housed in the shelf to supply the light-emitting diodes (18) with electric current.

Abstract: There is described a food refrigeration appliance (1) having a casing (2); a food refrigeration chamber (3) housed inside the casing (2); a food-supporting shelf (5) located inside the refrigeration chamber (3); and a lighting system (7), in turn having a number of spot light sources (7a) fixed stably to the shelf (5), and a power line (8) for electrically powering the spot light sources (7a); the lighting system (7) having a number of straight tracks (14) made of electrically conducting material and fixed stably to the shelf (5) to define an electric circuit (9) connecting the spot light sources (7a) to the power line (8).

Abstract: Household appliance comprising: a user interface, a logic unit adapted to control the user interface and the other electrical components of the household appliance, and to perform, via the user interface, a demonstration mode, a main power supply circuit connectable to the supply mains and adapted to energize the user interface, the logic unit and the other electrical components of the household appliance, a secondary power supply circuit connectable to a battery and adapted to energize exclusively the user interface and the logic unit. The logic unit is configured to detect if the main power supply circuit is connected to the supply mains and if the secondary power supply circuit is connected to the battery, and to enable the performing of the demonstration mode, via the user interface, when it detects that the main circuit is unconnected to the supply mains and the secondary power supply circuit is connected to the battery.
