Abstract

The invention relates to a household appliance (1), in particular a kitchen range with at least one control and/or display circuit board (2) that is set in an appropriate mounting recess (3), said control and/or display board (2), when installed, being tightly pressed against another component (4) (specifically against the bottom surface of a glass-ceramic stovetop or of a control panel. To ensure good tolerance compensation in cost-effective fashion and, thus, secure pressure contact between the control and display board and the said other component, the invention proposes the placement of the control and/or display board (2) in a socket (5) in the mounting recess (3), which socket (5) is provided with several spring elements (6) so configured and arranged as to press against the control and/or display board (2) on its side facing away from the said other component (4).
