Abstract

A household refrigeration appliance has a heat-insulated body with an inner container, which delimits a coolable interior provided for storing foodstuffs, a refrigeration device for cooling the coolable interior, a door leaf for closing the coolable interior and interior lighting for the at least partial illumination of the coolable interior. The coolable interior is defined by two side walls and one rear wall of which the surfaces facing the coolable interior are formed by the inner container. The interior lighting has an at least semitransparent cover, a planar light guide with a first surface facing the inner container and a second surface facing the cover and at least one lighting device, which couples its light into the planar light guide so that the planar light guide is able to decouple the light from its second surface.
