Abstract: An operator control apparatus for a domestic appliance includes a carrier plate and an operator control element which is rotatably arranged on the carrier plate for setting an operating condition of the domestic appliance. The operator control element includes a front cap having a first transparent region and a second transparent region which is separate from the first transparent region. A light guide extends into the front cap to guide light from a light source such as to illuminate the first transparent region with a first light intensity of the light which is coupled out of the light guide, and to illuminate the second transparent region with a second light intensity of the light which is coupled out of the light guide, with the second light intensity of the light being different from the first light intensity.

Abstract: An operating element for a household appliance includes a base body having a material, which includes a matrix and a filler embedded in the matrix. The filler has a percentage by weight of 5%-30% of the material and is configured to increase a mechanical strength of the material and to increase a chemical resistance of the material.

Abstract: A high-level built-in oven unit having a housing with a heated cooking chamber having a floor opening therein. The chamber has a lowerable trap-door movable between a position closing the floor opening and a lowered position opening the floor opening. The trap-door is movable by a lifting device, which has lifting elements mounted outside of the cooking chamber.

Abstract: A high-level built-in oven unit including a bottom opening in the oven unit. A removable trap-door including lifting elements to open and close the bottom opening of the oven unit. The trap door has a baking tray mounting arrangement detachably mounted thereon.

Abstract: Wall-mounted cookers comprising a housing (38) with a hood and an oven (32) are known. The base of the hood has an opening, which can be closed by a base door (2) that can be lowered. A retaining part (19) of a device that retains a cooking product carrier is mounted on the upper side of the base door (2) facing the oven (32). According to the invention, to facilitate the cleaning of the retaining part (19), the latter (19) is detachably connected to the base door (2).

Abstract: A rotary switch configuration for a household appliance includes a rotary knob seated in a cutout in an appliance panel and firmly connected to an actuating shaft so as to rotate with it but move axially, the actuating shaft transmitting the rotary movement of the rotary knob to a switching shaft of a switching unit mounted behind the appliance panel. Exact and wobble-free guidance of the rotary knob is achieved by the actuating shaft being rotatably mounted on the appliance panel by a bearing device.

Abstract: A household appliance, such as an oven, with a front panel which extends substantially across the width of the front side of the household appliance. Control and/or display elements of the household appliance are assigned to the front panel. The front panel is an extruded metal section. In order to increase the stability of the front panel, the front panel extends, bent essentially uniformly about a vertical axis, over the width of the front panel in the shape of a segment of a cylindrical wall.
