Abstract

A food-receiving container for a household refrigeration appliance includes a receiving bin and a separate dividing wall for insertion from above into the bin to divide the bin. A positioning device, which positions the wall during installation and in a final position, includes a first positioning unit of the bin and a second positioning unit of the wall. The positioning units engage for positioning the wall to the bin. The positioning units automatically establish different holding states of the wall and bin at different insertion height positions, depending on the insertion height position of the wall into the bin. The insertion height positions differ in a number of holding states and a number of spatial directions in which they act. The position of the wall in the bin is fixed in three spatial directions in the final pushed-in position. A method for installing a wall is also provided.
