    Abstract: An appliance console is provided, wherein the console is quickly and easily mounted on the appliance without the use of mounting hardware or tools. The appliance console includes a pair of first and second downwardly extending feet adapted to be received in slots in the top cover of the appliance. In mounting the console to the top cover of the cabinet, the first feet are inserted into the corresponding slots in the top cover of the cabinet and the console is moved laterally such that the first feet are received into a first edge of the slots. When the console is obstructed by the first edge, force is exerted upon the console to create a slight flex. The second feet are inserted into corresponding slots in the top cover and the console released so that the second feet engage a second edge of the corresponding slots.
