A domestic appliance is provided having a control panel in which a remote control signal passing part is formed on a manipulating member, and the manipulating member is integrated with a display window. The control panel includes a switch to be selectively turned on and off by relative movement of a moving part and a fixed part. The manipulating member is configured to be operated in conjunction with the moving part to selectively turn on and off the switch and is provided with the remote control signal passing part to allow a signal from a remote controller to pass. A signal-receiving unit is placed behind the manipulating member to receive the remote control signal through the manipulating member. The domestic appliance of the present invention is effective in reducing costs and time required for separately forming of a signal-receiving window, and miniaturizing products.
