How to remove washing machine front control panel Candy GOF662-80?

Hi I have a Candy washing machine GOF662-80 and the start button has been pushed into the housing. I am trying to get access to place the switch back in poition.
With help from this site I have removed the top panel and released 2 screws behind soap dispencer. The control panel is now just fixed below the soap dispencer. Any suggestions on how to release the control panel?
many thanks
