Zusammenfassung:A method of applying a touch film (140) to a rigid surface having a compound curvature includes applying a transparent pressure sensitive adhesive to a facing surface of a touch film (140), placing the facing surface against the rigid surface, and rolling a roller (142) over the touch film (140) with enough pressure to activate the pressure sensitive adhesive and adhere the touch film (140) to the rigid surface. The roller (142) has an exterior layer (152) of low durometer material to conform to the compound curvature of the rigid surface and to minimize damage to components on the touch film (140). Further, an appliance comprising a door (24) with a touch film (140) on an interior surface is disclosed.
