Abstract

A domestic refrigeration appliance apparatus has an appliance body, which partially defines a refrigeration chamber, and at least one storage unit which is arranged within the refrigeration chamber and which defines at least one storage chamber for storing food. The storage chamber is open in the direction of an upper face of the storage unit. A closing unit at least substantially closes the storage unit in the direction of the upper face in at least one storage state. In order to provide a generic apparatus with improved properties in respect of ease of operation, the domestic refrigeration appliance apparatus has one suspension unit, which supports the closing unit such it is able to oscillate relative to the appliance carcass in at least one operating state.
