Abstract: A domestic appliance includes at least one electrically actuated device-type-specific device component executing an operating function characteristic of the type of domestic appliance, a control apparatus actuating the component, and an input electrically connected to the control apparatus and having a display, at least one programmable input and at least one switch electrically contacted to switch a main function of the appliance being characteristic of different types of appliances. The input apparatus has a programmable controller storing at least two programs differently configured to actuate a corresponding number of different types of appliances. The programs are each configured for device-type-specific communication between the at least one programmable input and the control apparatus and to activate only that program corresponding to the type of appliance connected to the input apparatus based on the type of appliance having the control apparatus thereof connected to the input apparatus.

Abstract: A domestic appliance includes an interior that can be illuminated by a light source and is surrounded by walls and a door, wherein the interior is illuminated by the light source from the direction of the door, in particular wherein the door has at least one glass area, light from the light source is coupled into the glass area from the direction of an edge, with the result that the light is at least partially guided in the glass area, and the glass area has elements through which some of the light which is guided in the glass area is conducted into the interior. This manner of illumination prevents articles in the interior from having a silhouetted appearance.
