         9 . A refrigeration device, comprising:
 a water tank with at least one wall surface and a bottom surface; and   a flat heating system arranged on the water tank, wherein the flat heating system extends at least partially over the bottom surface.   
     
     
         10 . The refrigeration device of  claim 9 , wherein the flat heating system completely covers the bottom surface. 
     
     
         11 . The refrigeration device of  claim 9 , wherein the water tank is embedded in a housing wall of the refrigeration device, and wherein the flat heating system extends over the wall surface. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigeration device of  claim 11 , further comprising a housing, wherein the wall surface of the water tank faces an exterior of the housing. 
     
     
         13 . The refrigeration device of  claim 11 , wherein a hollow space borders a second wall surface of the water tank, the hollow space communicating with a cooled interior of the refrigeration device. 
     
     
         14 . The refrigeration device of  claim 13 , wherein the hollow space is an air duct into which cold air that is forcibly circulated in the interior flows. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigeration device of  claim 9 , wherein the water tank supports clamping projections to which the flat heating system is fastened. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigeration device of  claim 12 , wherein the flat heating system is flexible, and wherein an area of the water tank is convex between two of the clamping projections.
