an internal container having a rear wall and side walls;
an air distributor cladding disposed on said rear wall and bounding an air distributor duct, said air distributor cladding having a visible surface covering a majority of a width of said rear wall and side surfaces, said side surfaces, together with said internal container, bounding grooves that run on either side of said air distributor cladding and that are open toward a front side of said internal container, and said air distributor cladding having outlet openings formed on said side surfaces, wherein said air distributor cladding is movably guided on said rear wall between an engaging position, in which said air distributor cladding is fixed in a depth direction of said internal container, and an extraction position, in which said air distributor cladding can be moved in the depth direction; and
an evaporator cover, wherein said air distributor cladding has a lower edge area that engages between said rear wall and said evaporator cover and at least one cut-out or a projection, which extends in the depth direction and interacts with a complementary depression or a complementary projection of said rear wall or said evaporator cover, in order to fix said air distributor cladding in the engaging position.
