Problems solved by technology

An unfavorable situation should be considered at the user interface: the current operating state of the domestic appliance is only insufficiently signaled or represented
That is, the current operating state is usually output in text form, so that a total of only insufficient information presentation is possible
Since the user is only insufficiently informed of the current state of the respective home appliance, misoperation of the home appliance cannot be completely ruled out
