Abstract

A household refrigeration appliance has a receiving compartment for food and a planar lighting module for lighting the receiving compartment. The lighting module has a first lighting sub-module with a first plate-shaped light guide and a separate, second lighting sub-module directly adjoining the first sub-module and having a second plate-shaped light guide. The first light guide has a first edge and the second light guide has a first edge. The first edges are arranged facing one another and in a direction at right angles to a plane defined by the lighting module, an offset is formed between the first edges, so that in this direction the first edges are arranged at a distance from one another perpendicular to the plane.
