Abstract: The present invention relates to a control panel for an apparatus, in particular for a domestic appliance. The control panel (10) comprises at least one front panel (12) including at least one cut-out (14). The control panel (10) comprises at least one inner panel (16) including a peripheral rabbet (18). Said peripheral rabbet (18) encloses at least partially the circumference of the inner panel (16), so that a smaller flat front portion and a bigger flat rear portion of said inner panel (16) are formed. The control panel (10) comprises at least one support frame (20) including at least one recess (22) at its front side. The support frame (20) is connected or connectable to the rear side of the front panel (12).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a switching element (10) for a control device, in particular of a domestic appliance. The switching element (10) comprises a rotatable and shiftable rim element (14) being rotatable around and shiftable along the same axis. The switching element (10) comprises a stator element (20). The rim element (14) is rotatably and shiftably coupled to the stator element (20). The switching element (10) comprises a micro switch (16) including a stationary part and a movable part (30). The stationary part of the micro switch (16) is coupled to the stator element (20), while the movable part (30) of the micro switch (16) is rotatable around and shiftable along the same axis and coupled to the rim element (14). The micro switch (16) includes an encoder for indicating a rotation left or right and a shifting of the movable part (30) of said micro switch (16). The switching element (10) comprises at least one sensor antenna (18) forming a part of a capacitive touch sensor.
