Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017084846A1] The invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising at least one appliance closure element (10a; 10b; 10c), which is provided for at least partly covering an access opening, at least one elongated handle unit (12a; 12b; 12c), and at least one opening aid unit (14a; 14b) which is provided for reducing the opening force required to open the appliance closure element (10a; 10b; 10c). In order to increase efficiency, the handle unit (12a; 12b; 12c) is designed to be pivoted relative to the appliance closure element (10a; 10b; 10c) about a handle pivot axis (16a; 16b; 16c) arranged at least substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal extension direction of the handle unit (12a; 12b; 12c) at least in order to trigger the opening aid unit (14a; 14b).
