Abstract

A refrigeration appliance includes a body having a cooling chamber which can be closed at a door opening by a door attached to the body. The refrigeration appliance has a light and storage shelves in the cooling chamber which are spaced apart from the door opening by a spacing leaving a clear space between the door opening and the storage shelves. A drawer disposed underneath the storage shelves projects into the clear space when pushed in and the drawer has side walls and a front edge. The light is a spotlight for emitting light within a cone of light so that the center of the front edge of the drawer is located within the cone of light and the side walls of the drawer are located outside the cone of light.
