Abstract
A household appliance, in particular an electrically operated household appliance, can be controlled using voice signals. In order to avoid malfunction, e.g. as a result of voice signals coming from a radio set and not from a user, a control program is configured in such a way that successive voice signals can only form a control command when the successive voice signals are input within a given time period.
