Program-controlled household appliance and method of operating the appliance

The invention allows a user of a program-controlled household appliance to obtain comprehensive information concerning different working process parameters by having the appliance include a display device for acoustic signals or optical characters and a memory area of the program control device, which is configured for saving set program parameters and measurement and operational values of the actuators and sensors participating in the program that is running. For such a purpose, the display device contains a display element (field), which is activated upon completion of the working process and contains the comment 'Log', indicating the option of issuing information relating to measurement and operational values that have been saved prior to and/or during the last completed working process.
