Abstract:
1. A refrigerator and/or freezer for equipping a kitchen, said refrigerator and/or freezer comprising: an air flap which is mounted in the refrigerator and/or freezer so as to be pivotable about a first axis of rotation between an open position and a closing position and which, in the open position, unblocks an air-passage aperture for the passage of air and, in the closing position, blocks said air-passage aperture, at least substantially, against the passage of air; and a motorized flap-actuating mechanism for displacing the air flap in a pivoting manner; wherein the flap-actuating mechanism comprises a movably disposed flap-actuating element having a flap-engaging section which can be moved, as a result of movement of said flap-actuating element, from outside the pivoting space of the air flap in a position of disengagement from the air flap into said pivoting space in order, in doing so, to strike with a motional impetus against the air flap to come into a lifting engagement with the air flap and displace the air flap out of one of the two flap positions towards the other.
