Abstract
The invention relates to an operating and display device () for a domestic appliance, comprising operating means for setting at least one parameter of an operating process of the domestic appliance, a light conductor part () for conducting light, a plurality of function symbols (), which each symbolize a respective selectable value of the parameter, and a lighting device () for backlighting the function symbols (), by means of which lighting device the function symbol () associated with the presently selected value of the parameter can be optically distinguished from the other function symbols (), wherein the operating means are designed as touch-sensitive operating means and have a touch-sensitive actuation surface (), which is arranged such as to overlap with the function symbols () and thus the value of the parameter associated with one of the function symbols () can be selected by touching the actuation surface () in an overlap area () that overlaps with one of the function symbols ().
