A domestic appliance H has a program display panel T comprising visual display elements E each corresponding to a particular operating step. When the program is selected using a keyboard or other selector P, the program controller ST activates all the display elements E corresponding to steps in the selected program. As the program runs, the controller ST deactivates the display elements in succession, as the corresponding steps of the program are completed. Consequently the initial display shows what steps form the program, and during operation the display shows what step is currently running and what further steps remain to be performed. The final display element may remain activated when the program ends. <IMAGE>
