Abstract

A refrigerating appliance contains an inner chamber that is surrounded by a heat-insulating housing and a door, and can be divided into an upper region and a lower region by a partition wall. The refrigerating appliance also contains a plate-type evaporator that is supported on a wall of the inner chamber. The evaporator extends over at least part of the wall pertaining to the lower region, and the cooling performance of the evaporator, in its part pertaining to the upper or lower region, is such that the temperature reached in the upper region of the inner chamber is lower than that reached in the lower region.
