laundry, proceed as follows:
1. remove the plug from the

it is not, remove excess

3. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel on

washing machine (see figure).
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull
downwards and open the door at the same time.
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
