The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator with an improved lighting structure.

The refrigerator includes a main body in which a storage compartment is formed, a light source provided on an inner surface of the storage compartment to provide light, and a lighting cover provided to cover the light source, wherein the lighting cover includes a first opening formed to irradiate light in a direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the storage compartment, and a second opening formed to be inclined with respect to the inner surface so that light is irradiated to the front of the storage compartment.

A domestic appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, has a lamp for illuminating a recessed handle of a door. The recessed handle has a recess. The door has a light-guide element in the recess and the door also has a light source for illumination into the light-guide body at least on a front end of the light-guide body.

An operating device for a domestic appliance includes an operating element having a rotary ring to set operating conditions of the domestic appliance according to a rotary movement, and an electronic display area enclosed by the rotary ring. An optical light strip in a form of a circumferential ring is arranged adjacent to and separate from the rotary ring to indicate visually a length of a rotary path travelled by the rotary ring in a rotary movement.

Provided is a top plate for a cooking device including a glass sheet (2) and a light-shielding film (3) formed on a lower surface (2c) of the glass sheet (2) through sputtering. The light-shielding film (3) contains an oxide, a nitride, or an oxynitride of a transition metal of Group 6 to Group 11 on the periodic table. In this manner, a color close to grey can be achieved as a color of the light-shielding film (3) while insulating properties of the light-shielding film (3) are secured.

Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes an end cap, a liner coupled to the end cap, and a compartment formed between the end cap and the liner. The example pellet grill further includes a lighting module having a light source. The light source is positioned within the compartment. The light source is configured to project light through an opening formed in the liner and into an interior of a cooking chamber of the pellet grill.

A laundry treating apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus includes control panel body that defines an opening with a circular perimeter and a diameter. The laundry treating apparatus further includes at least one light source. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a rotary knob that is configured to manipulate a rotary switch and that has an outer circumferential surface that is spaced apart from the circular perimeter of the opening to define a clearance between the rotary knob and the control panel body. The laundry treating apparatus includes further a knob decorative member that is located between the rotary knob and the circular perimeter of the opening. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a window that includes a light transmission portion through which light emitted from the at least one light source passes.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator with an improved lighting structure. The refrigerator includes a main body in which a storage compartment is formed, a light source provided on an inner surface of the storage compartment to provide light, and a lighting cover provided to cover the light source, wherein the lighting cover includes a first opening formed to irradiate light in a direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the storage compartment, and a second opening formed to be inclined with respect to the inner surface so that light is irradiated to the front of the storage compartment.

A lighted display assembly for an appliance includes interchangeable display screens. Multiple light sources flash, turn on and turn off to indicate a status of the appliance by illuminating a selected one of the display screens. A display grid extends continuously between the light sources and the selected display screen and defines light passages that are each uniquely associated with one or more corresponding light sources. Light emitted by each light source is confined to a discrete area of the display screen by the corresponding light passage. The discrete areas of the interchangeable display screens may include any of a variety of markings, for example, markings in a different language. The assemblies may be tailored to the needs of a particular customer by selecting an appropriate display screen.

A vacuum accessory tool is provided. The vacuum accessory tool includes a body, a turbine, a generator, and a light source. The body defines a suction inlet, a fluid outlet, and a fluid flow path extending from the suction inlet to the fluid outlet. The turbine is rotatably mounted to the body in fluid communication with the fluid flow path to be rotated by fluid passing through the fluid flow path. The generator is coupled to the turbine such that rotation of the turbine rotates the shaft to generate power. The light source is electrically coupled to the generator and configured to receive the power generated by the generator to power the light source by the fluid passing through the fluid flow path.

A heating unit includes a housing defining a thermal cavity and has a first longitudinal edge and an opposing second longitudinal edge, a reflector assembly disposed within the thermal cavity, a heating element, and a lighting element. The housing defines a vent positioned at least one of laterally between a central longitudinal plane of the housing and the first longitudinal edge and laterally between the central longitudinal plane and the opposing second longitudinal edge. The reflector assembly is coupled to an interior surface of the housing. A spacer is positioned between the reflector assembly and the interior surface forming an air gap therebetween. The heating element extends within the central longitudinal plane and is at least partially surrounded by the reflector assembly. The lighting element is positioned along at least one of the first longitudinal edge and the opposing second longitudinal edge such that the vent is positioned laterally between the lighting element and the heating element.
