Method for actuating an operating device, wherein at least one correction value is determined, operating device and domestic appliance

A method for actuating an operating device for a household appliance, said method comprising:

• setting by an operating element of the operating device a first function of the household appliance by actuating the operating element with a first actuation type from a first resting position into a first operating position;
• setting a setting parameter of a second function of the household appliance by actuating the operating element with a second actuation type which is different from the first actuation type, from a second resting position of the operating element into at least one of a plurality of intermediate positions of the operating element, thereby setting a value;
• actuating the first function of the household appliance in response to a sensing of a first capacitance value of the operating device by a capacitive sensing apparatus of the operating device;
• establishing a correction value equal to the sensed first capacitance value;
• and
• sensing a second capacitance value with the capacitive sensing apparatus and determining the setting parameter of the second function based on the sensed second capacitance value and the correction value.
