How can I fix the broken handle on my Indesit WD12S?

Hi, i have a similar model WE12 with a broken handle, which i haven't replaced yet !
To get into the washer, i used a normal metal food knife to lever the door open. if yours is the same as mine, then there should be a vertical slot to the right of the lever mechanism, which you can get a knife down. you can lever this open ( you may need to pull the door towards you as well )
