A domestic appliance for installation in a furniture frame. The appliance includes an essentially rectangular body and a vertical cover section fixed to a front vertical edge of the body and extending laterally beyond the vertical edge onto the furniture frame. A leg of the section adjacent to a lateral wall of the body has a hole for a fixing screw and a head of the fixing screw is accommodated at least partially in a depression surrounding the hole. A floor of a depression surrounding the hole is level, and a shaft of the fixing screw maintains clearance as it passes through the hole.

1. A domestic appliance for installation in a furniture frame, the appliance comprising: an essentially rectangular body; anda pair of vertical cover sections, each said cover section being fixed in a height adjustable manner to a front vertical edge of the body and dimensioned to extend laterally beyond the vertical edge adjacent the furniture frame, wherein a leg of a section adjacent to a lateral wall of the body has a hole for a fixing screw and a head of the fixing screw is adapted to be accommodated at least partially in a depression surrounding the hole whilst a shaft of the screw extends through the hole, wherein a floor of the depression surrounding the hole is level and contained in a plane that is offset from a plane containing an outer surface of the leg adjacent the depression, and the shaft of the fixing screw is adapted to maintain clearance as it passes through the hole so that the heights of the cover sections are adjustable relative to the body and one another before being fixed to the respective front vertical edge of the body,wherein the floor of the depression surrounding the hole is connected to the leg only at upper and lower edges thereof 2. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the head of the fixing screw is completely accommodated in the depression. 3. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the hole extends vertically. 4. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the hole has a wide section through which the head of the fixing screw passes, and a narrow section through which the head does not pass. 5. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein, on the leg of the section adjacent to the lateral wall, a surface runs downward of the body and backward onto the lateral wall of the body between the depression and a rearward edge. 6. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the cover section comprises a rib adjacent to a front surface of the body. 7. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the cover section is thermally insulated from a metallic support structure of the body by a plastic profile element. 8. The domestic appliance of claim 7, wherein each said depression is provided on an outer surface of the cover section and is associated with a projection on the opposite inner surface of the same, and a groove in the plastic profile element accommodating said projection. 9. The domestic appliance of claim 8, wherein the cover section comprises an extruded cover section and wherein the recesses and projections comprise stamped recesses and projections. 10. The domestic appliance of claim 7, wherein the plastic profile element comprises an extruded plastic profile element. 11. The domestic appliance of claim 7, wherein the plastic profile element comprises a base plate and ribs protruding from the base plate toward the support structure or toward the cover section. 12. The domestic appliance of claim 7, wherein the plastic profile element is a component of the body. 13. The domestic appliance of claim 12, wherein the plastic profile element has a groove into which a fixed outer shell of the body is inserted. 14. The domestic appliance of claim 12, wherein a hook of the plastic profile element encompasses the support structure. 15. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein a rear vertical edge of the leg includes a sloping surface to facilitate insertion of the domestic appliance in the furniture frame. 16. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the fixing screw extends from the head towards the lateral wall. 17. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the hole comprises an elongated vertical dimension that is longer than a diameter of the shaft and longer than a horizontal width of the hole, and the fixing screw is fasted at an intermediate position of the vertical dimension so that the pair of vertical cover sections are vertically aligned with one another. 18. The domestic appliance of claim 1, wherein the floor of the depression surrounding the hole is offset from the plane containing the outer surface of the leg toward the essentially rectangular body. 19. A domestic appliance for installation in a furniture frame, the appliance comprising: an essentially rectangular body;a fixing screw mounted in a side wall of the rectangular body; anda pair of vertical cover sections, each said cover section being fixed in a height adjustable manner to a front vertical edge of the body and dimensioned to extend laterally beyond the vertical edge adjacent the furniture frame,wherein a leg of a section adjacent to a lateral wall of the body has a hole for the fixing screw and a head of the fixing screw is accommodated at least partially in a depression surrounding the hole whilst a shaft of the screw extends through the hole,wherein a floor of the depression surrounding the hole is level and contained in a plane that is offset from a plane containing an outer surface of the leg adjacent the depression, and the shaft of the fixing screw is adapted to maintain clearance as it passes through the hole so that the heights of the cover sections are adjustable relative to the body and one another before being fixed to the respective front vertical edge of the body,wherein the thickness of the leg at the plane containing the hole is offset to protrude from an inner surface of the leg and is mated within a corresponding vertical groove of the body that is configured to allow the vertical cover section to adjust up and down but restrict movement forward and back. 20. The domestic appliance according to claim 19, wherein the floor of the depression surrounding the hole is connected to the leg only at upper and lower edges thereof.
