Abstract

A cold-storage appliance includes at least one insulating container (12,14) being movable with respect to a supporting structure for opening and closing and comprising a plurality of walls each defining a respective external surface portion; and a cooling means (34) adapted to cool the interior of the closed container. When the container is moved to a closed position, a seal (36,42) extending around an external surface portion of the container seals that external surface portion against exposure to air moving over the exterior of the container. This helps to control condensation and icing. The appliance may have first and second insulating containers (12,14) being movable with respect to a supporting structure for opening and closing; and a shared cooling means (34) that supplies cold air via the first container (12) to the second container (14) . This enables a single cooling means to cool both containers (12,14) .
