Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fiber-optic device for illuminating inner space of home appliances, making service (maintenance or the like) and cleaning of kitchen and home appliances, preferably, industrial baking device and refrigeration device easy. SOLUTION: A fiber-optic device (11) includes a plurality of optical transmission fibers having light-incident ends (14) and light-irradiating ends (15), and the light-incident ends (14) are allocated to at least one light source (12) disposed away from an effective area of an inner space (2) of the appliance. A plurality of glass fibers of the fiber-optic device are grouped into a plurality of flexible fiber bundles (13) with each small bending radius so as to introduce the fiber bundles (13) to a plurality of inside walls (3) from the light sources (12) respectively, and a plurality of point-like lighting positions (21) distributed to uniformly illuminate the inner space (2) by the light-irradiating ends (15) of the plurality of the fiber bundles (13) are formed on the plurality of the inside walls (3).
