Abstract

The present invention relates to a door ( 10 ) for a cold storage device such as a refrigerator or freezer. The door comprises a frame ( 12 ) and a pane ( 14 ) fitted to the frame. The door is characterized by at least one light emitting diode (LED) ( 16 ) arranged such that heat generated by the LED(s) during operation of the LED(s) is conducted to the pane to reduce moisture-forming on the pane. The present invention also relates to a cold storage device ( 24 ), such as a refrigerator or freezer, comprising such a door.

1 . A door for a cold storage device, comprising:
 a frame,   a pane fitted to the frame, and   at least one light emitting diode (LED) arranged relative to the frame such that heat generated by the at least one LED during operation thereof is conducted to the pane to reduce moisture forming thereon.   
     
     
         2 . A door according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one LED is adapted to illuminate the interior of the cold storage device.
