The support system includes a vertical rail provided with a plurality of snap-in recesses and a supporting arm that has a plurality of projections each of which engages with one of the snap-in recesses. The rail includes a profiled element that is immobilized on a wall via an at least one fastener and a strip is provided that can be vertically displaced in the profiled element between a position in which the at least one fastener is accessible through an opening on one side of the profiled element that faces away from the wall and another position in which the at least one fastener is concealed behind the strip. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-13. (canceled) ### Claim 14 A domestic appliance, in particular, a cabinet-type household appliance, the domestic appliance comprising: at least two walls, the walls delimiting an interior; and a height-adjustable support system mounted in the interior, the support system including a vertical rail, a plurality of locating steps on the vertical rail, and at least one supporting arm having at least one projection, the at least one projection of the at least one supporting arm being engageable in one of the locating steps on the vertical rail, the rail including a profiled element and a strip, the profiled element being fastenable to a first one of the walls by at least one fastener which may be configured as a at least one fastener and the profiled element having a side that faces away from the wall on which an opening is formed, and the strip being vertically displaceable in the profiled element between a position in which the at least one fastener is accessible through the opening formed on the side of the profiled element that faces away from the wall and a position in which the at least one fastener is substantially concealed behind the strip. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the at least one fastener is configured as a screw or as a stud. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the snap-in recesses have breakthroughs in each case and the at least one fastener is accessible through one of the breakthroughs. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the snap-in recesses are formed in the strip. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the snap-in recesses are formed in an arm of the profile element and the strip is arranged between the wall holding the rail and the arm. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein an opening is provided on a side of the profiled element that faces the first wall and, when the at least one fastener is loosened, the profiled element on the first wall can be displaced between a position in which a head of the at least one fastener passes through a wide entry section of the opening and a position in which the head is caught in a narrow section of the opening. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the snap-in recesses are arranged on a floor surface of an undercut slot of the vertical rail open to the interior and the support arm includes at least one projection held in the undercut slot. ### Claim 21 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the vertical rail is attached to a door of the domestic appliance. ### Claim 22 (depends on 14) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14, wherein the vertical rail is fastened in a carcass of the domestic appliance. ### Claim 23 (depends on 20) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 20 and further comprising a second vertical rail and two supporting arms that are connected to a rigid unit, and at least one of the rails has a vertical groove that is open toward the interior and into which a guide projection of one of the supporting arms extends. ### Claim 24 (depends on 10) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 10, wherein the guide projection has a vertical extent of at least 5 cm. ### Claim 25 (depends on 23) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 23, wherein the support arms support a door compartment and the guide projection has a vertical extent which corresponds to the height of the door compartment. ### Claim 26 (depends on 23) The domestic appliance as claimed in claim 23, wherein the projection engaging into the snap-in recesses forms at least a part of the guide projection.
