The present invention relates to a control panel for an apparatus, in particular for a domestic appliance. The control panel () comprises at least one front panel () including at least one cut-out (). The control panel () comprises at least one inner panel () including a peripheral rabbet (). Said peripheral rabbet () encloses at least partially the circumference of the inner panel (), so that a smaller flat front portion and a bigger flat rear portion of said inner panel () are formed. The control panel () comprises at least one support frame () including at least one recess () at its front side. The support frame () is connected or connectable to the rear side of the front panel (). The inner panel () is arranged or arrangeable between the front panel () and the support frame (), so that the flat front portion of the inner panel () is received or receivable by the cut-out () of the front panel (), while the flat rear portion of the inner panel () is received or receivable by the recess () of the support frame (). Further, the present invention relates to a method for assembling a control panel for an apparatus, in particular for a domestic appliance.
