The invention relates to a method for mounting a panel () of an appliance, especially of a domestic appliance, comprising the steps: a) Arranging of a panel element (); b) Applying a first adhesive () and a second adhesive () onto a surface of the panel element (); c) Pressing a transparent pane element () against the surface of the panel element () in a mounting position so that the first and the second adhesive () have contact with the panel element () as well as with the pane element (); d) Activating the adhesion of the second adhesive () to bond the pane element () with the panel element (); e) Applying a third adhesive () and a fourth adhesive () onto a surface of the pane element (); f) Pressing a frame element () against the surface of the pane element () in a mounting position so that the third and fourth adhesive () have contact with the pane element () as well as with the frame element (); g) Activating the adhesion of the fourth adhesive () to bond the frame element () with the pane element (). By this method even skewed parts, especially skewed frame element, can be mounted in their perfect position.

Method for mounting a panel of an appliance, especially of a domestic appliance

Push button switch assembly for insertion in a control panel of a domestic appliance, the push button switch assembly comprising at least one push button having a push button cap and a separately formed actuating element, in particular an actuating pin, which extends between the push button cap and an electric switching element of the domestic appliance and upon actuating of the push button cap cooperates therewith and acts on the electric switching element to effect a switching operation, and a frame receiving and guiding the at least one push button cap, wherein at least one spring leg is arranged at the actuating element, which counteracts the actuating of the push button cap.

Push button switch assembly

Push button switch assembly, in particular for insertion in a control panel of a domestic appliance, the push button switch assembly comprising at least one push button and a frame for receiving the at least one push button, wherein the push button has a push button cap, whose top wall or rather upper side is to be manipulated by a user, and an actuating element, in particular an actuating pin, for actuating a switch, especially a micro switch, of a circuit board arranged underneath the push button switch assembly upon actuation of the push button cap, wherein the push button cap is provided with spring legs resting on a frame bottom and counteracting the actuation of the push button cap, characterized in that at least two spring legs are provided, which are formed in a rotationally symmetric or in an axially symmetric arrangement at the push button cap.
