Abstract

A refrigerator and/or freezer is provided with a glass door having a metal frame in which a glazing is inserted, the metal frame forming an outer skin of the door, which with a front-side portion and a narrow-side portion covers the front and circumferential sides of the glazing and forms the visible sides of the door, a circumferential glazing holder being connected with the outer skin. The outer skin is composed of a circumferentially integral one-piece metal casing, which on the visible sides of the door is formed without a seam, and the glazing holder is foamed into a circumferential foam body with which the metal casing is circumferentially foam-backed on its rear side.
