Abstract
A holding device for an operator control on a front cover of an electrical appliance is designed for attachment to the front cover and has a feedthrough for a rotating shaft of a rotary encoder of the operator control. The holding device is embodied in an annular fashion around the feedthrough and has a front cover attachment part as well as a lighting ring part which is fitted onto the front of the front cover attachment part. The lighting ring part essentially covers the front cover attachment part toward the front, wherein the two parts have a circular-ring-like intermediate space between them, in which intermediate space at least one component carrier, which has a plurality of LEDs on the side toward the front cover attachment part, is arranged.
