How can I dismantle and fix my Russell Hobbs 9206-40?

How can I dismantle and fix my Russell Hobbs 9206-40? It is working but I have to hold the slide down for some time before it will stay down. The result is a cremated breakfast!

I've found the 4 small Phillips headed screws and undone them but have not yet found a way to remove the plastic slider handle of control knob. Can anyone please advise on how I should proceed with this repair?

Just pull on it! It will come off.
