how to fit a door seal on Hotpoint wf860p washing machine?

Hole in my door seal. I have a new seal but no instructions on how to fit it. Can you help please?

Open the door, look for a clip, which holds the two ends of a wire retainer on the outside of the seal. Remove this wire retainer, then remove the lid of the UN-PLUGGED machine, and at the inside front, around the area of the drum, you will note another larger retainer strip held in place and tensioned, by a bolt clip. Loosen the bolt with a spanner or socket, just enough to release the seal from the drum. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO HOW THE SEAL IS ATTACHED AS YOU REMOVE IT THROUGH THE DOOR. This will avoid confusion when refitting a new one.
