Abstract

The present invention relates to a refrigerating appliance equipped with compartments cooled by cold air produced by an evaporator and conveyed into the compartments through a distribution duct communicating therewith and housing at least one flow regulator capable of intercepting the cold air flow in order to cool one or more compartments.
When the refrigerating appliance is a freezer, according to an advantageous variant an electric resistance may be provided in at least one compartment, so that such compartment can be converted into a compartment operating at a different temperature as necessary.
