Abstract:
An appliance, appliance panel and a method of assembling an appliance panel are provided in which the appliance panel has an interior side and an exterior side. An overlay panel is positioned on the exterior side of the appliance panel. A fastening device is secured to the overlay panel and extends through the appliance panel at a defined area. A removable and replaceable functional member is attached to the appliance panel and overlies the fastening device at the defined area to prevent the fastening device from being visible during normal use of the appliance.
