Abstract
A domestic appliance includes a first display area for displaying first operation settings of the domestic appliance, a first control element for selecting one of the first operation settings, a second display area for displaying second operation settings of the domestic appliance, a second control element for selecting one of the second operation settings. A control facility is provided to allocate a first two-dimensional extent to the first display region and a second two-dimensional extent to the second display region when a user actuates the first operating element and to allocate a third two-dimensional extent to the first display region and a fourth two-dimensional extent to the second display region when the user actuates the second operating element. The third two-dimensional extent is smaller than the first two-dimensional extent and the fourth two-dimensional extent is larger than the second two-dimensional extent.
