ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes a gasket which, when the door is closed, is held by magnetic force against the cabinet. A handle assembly mounted on the door includes a finger-actuated lever which can be actuated by a user's finger to displace a slide which initially pushes open the door by a predetermined distance sufficient to separate the gasket from the cabinet. Then the door can be opened by pulling easily on a rigid part of the handle that is fixed to the door.
