Abstract

A refrigeration device, in particular a refrigerator and/or freezer, includes a housing with a top, a base, lateral walls and a rear wall as external walls, a door, an interior compartment situated in the housing and surrounded by internal walls and a front frame for thermally decoupling the internal walls from the external walls, the lateral walls being thermally insulated from the other walls by an additional insulation strip. The invention is characterized in that the entry of heat from the exterior into the interior compartment via the lateral walls can be significantly reduced by the thermal decoupling of the lateral walls, thus significantly increasing the efficiency of the refrigeration device.
