  • the inner container per side of the inner container several support ribs or support elements are networked in the depth direction, so that a shelf on each side are assigned a plurality of support areas. It is preferably provided to arrange the at least one illumination means in, on or between the bearing ribs, the front, d. H. towards the open side of the inner container, are arranged.
  • the lighting unit is arranged flush with the at least one support element, protruding or set back.
  • a particularly attractive arrangement results if the at least one illumination unit terminates with the adjacent support element (s), ie a flush arrangement with the support element (s) is provided.
  • the outer contour of the lighting unit at least partially coincides with the contour of the support elements, so that they integrated as inconspicuous as possible in the visual appearance of the device.
  • the lighting unit has the same color or at least a similar color, as the support elements on which or this is arranged so that it does not optically or hardly significant.
  • the illumination unit has a first contact element and the body of the device in the region of the support element has a second contact element, which are electrically connected to each other. It is preferably provided that the body of the device has a plurality of such second contact elements, so that the lighting unit can be positioned at different positions of the cooled interior.
  • the second contact elements i. H. the body-side contact elements arranged so that they are optically for a user who stands in front of the device and in the cooled interior views or hardly noticeable.
  • the plurality of second contact elements are connected to a common voltage supply rail or line and / or that the second contact elements are connected in such a way that it bears against this low voltage.
  • the supply voltage for the lighting units is low voltage, so that a risk of injury when in contact with the second contact elements is excluded from the outset.
  • the lighting unit is fixed by positive locking and / or frictional connection and / or material connection and preferably by a clamping or latching connection.
  • the lighting unit can basically be fixed. However, it is preferred if the lighting unit is detachably arranged. It is conceivable that it is arranged such that it can be assembled and disassembled by a user of the device as far as possible without tools.
  • the lighting unit can also have its own power supply.
  • the lighting unit has a lettering, a graphic or other style element which is or is backlit by the lighting means of the lighting unit or by a light guide, is coupled into the light from the light source.
  • the lighting unit has thus preferably integrated by means of light guide or backlight lettering or a style element such as a trim.
  • the light which is emitted by the at least one lighting unit, when opening the door of the device is not suddenly turned on, although such a configuration of the invention is mitumutzt, but is highly dimmed.
  • the high dimming of the light can be made for example by means of a map. This can apply accordingly for dimming when closing the door.
  • the above-mentioned arrangement of the at least one lighting unit as far as possible in the direction of the front edge of the inner container or in the region of the front edge of the inner container has the advantage that a light curtain is generated in the direction of the device and no dazzling effect for the user occurs.
  • the present invention makes it possible to set targeted lighting accents in the cooled interior.
  • the lighting unit can be formed for example by a single spot, which makes it possible to set variable light accents in the interior.
  • the illumination means have a contact which is electrically connected to a mating contact in the region of the ribs or support elements, so that it is preferably possible for the illumination unit in any rib or in any Lock support element.
  • the lighting unit in the rib area of the inner container in the interior of the interior one or both sides arranged or can be arranged there.
