settings/controls and switches
Explanation:
Just a suggestion:
"Stellteile" in German seems to cover anything that can be set, switched, turned on or off. So controls, switches, levers, buttons could be covered by settings:

Place all settings in the neutral position ...

OR
Set all switches and controls in the neutral position
