A secondary push button of decorative appearance is positioned in an opening in the control panel to be offset from the centerline of the first push button. The secondary push button has a flange extension on one side thereof behind the control panel to serve as a fulcrum means for an improved motion of the secondary button. A spacer spring is attached to the mounting plate to bear against the inner end of the secondary button.
