Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1374753A1] A built-in domestic appliance has a door provided with a vertically mobile decorative panel applied to the door through pegs integral with the rear side of the panel which engage vertical guides (A) formed in the door, and is provided as well with a supporting mechanism which controls the sliding of the panel through supporting means suitable to engage a further peg integral with the rear side of the panel and with actuator means to automatically disengage said peg so as to cause the lowering by gravity of the panel. In this way the panel can be lowered automatically without requiring an intervention by the user, and at the top of the door there may be formed a grid (G) for discharging air coming from the tank through a duct (D) under the action of a fan (DF), which is activated only upon checking by a proper sensor of the lowered position of the panel. <IMAGE>
