Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a switching and/or adjusting panel (1) for an appliance, especially for a domestic appliance, for switching and/or adjusting of an operation parameter of the appliance, wherein the panel (1) has a panel cover element (2) which extends in a transverse direction (T) and wherein the panel (1) has at least two functional elements (3, 4, 5). To facilitate the assembly of such a panel and to allow an easy substitution of functional elements, the invention is characterized in that the panel cover element (2) has a hook element (6) in a top region (7) forming an undercut (8) in a direction (N) perpendicular to a front surface (9) of the panel cover element (2) and that the panel cover element (2) has a plurality of snap elements (10) in a bottom region (11) forming an undercut (12) in a direction (N) perpendicular to the front surface (8) of the panel cover element (2), wherein the functional elements (3, 4, 5) have a first section (13) extending in the direction (N) perpendicular to the front surface (9) of the panel cover element (2) when being in the mounted state, which abut against the undercut (8) of the hook element (6) and wherein the functional elements (3, 4, 5) have a second section (14) extending in the direction (N) perpendicular to the front surface (9) of the panel cover element (2) when being in the mounted state, which abut against the undercut (12) of the snap elements (10).
