Abstract (en)
In a built-in domestic appliance with a door (S) hinged along its bottom side and provided with a top front decorative panel (P) applied to the door (S) and with a bottom front decorative panel acting as a plinth (Z) and arranged flush with the top panel (P), the plinth (Z) is applied to the appliance through a mounting system including a parallelogram hinge connecting the plinth (Z) to a support which is in turn carried by a bracket secured to the appliance base, as well as means for driving the hinge so as to incline the plinth (Z) forward upon opening of the door (S). In this way it is possible to use any mounting system for the top panel (P) applied to the door (S), which can even be of the type where the control panel (U) is permanently visible, so that no difficulty results in the installation inside the furniture nor in the lowering of the top panel with the door closed even if the plinth (Z) is flush with the panel (P), which can even be shorter than the door (S) so as to be able to use as plinth (Z) a bottom panel of standard height. <IMAGE>
