How do I open the fron tof a Bosch Exxcel 1200 washing machine?

Remove the soap drawer , you will then find a small torx screw on the panel face (covered by the drawer when in place). Then open the door and remove the clamp band wire from the door seal outer edge and undo the seal from the front panel. Remove the bottom kick strip ( one screw behind the filter door cover slide the panel to the right).This will then expose two screws at the bottom of the front panel remove these , pull the front panel outwards at the bottom at the same time pulling downwards, the front panel will then open to the righthand side to the extent of the wiring attatched to the door interlock.
