Lost the handbook and need some help with Zanussi TC-418w Tumble dryer?

We have been given the TC-418 from a friend but there is no handbook. The problem is very basic, we find the timer select confusing having two points, '0' on the timer to select the start for each of the two programs. That part is easy, but when operating they do not stop at the '0' at the end of the cycle. Is this a fault or is that how it is?
Also I have replaced the door open/on-off switch and still find that it is difficult to stop and open the door. It requires pressing the button in as far as it will go and then pulling on the door at the same time!!
Are there any mods that can be made to correct this?
I look forward to a response.
Thanks, Alan
