Removal of facia Zanussi FL828?

How do I remove the facia? I have undone the clips along the top edge, and managed to lever out the two leftmost clips on the bottom edge, but somehow the facia does not seem to want to come off and I don't want to break anything.

Like walking down memory lane trying to mend this machine.lol
Think the control knob has to come off.there is a pin hole in the knob you CAREFULLY press down whilst turning it anti clockwise.IT MIGHT BREAK.undo 7mm nut in centre of knob then remove everything just leaving the time shaft present.take screws out inside soap draw.lever plastic tabs along top edge and sides then using a screwdriver to lever the plastic clips up along the bottom edge through the metal control mounting panel.Some tabs may break.if you are doing this to get the soap draw out I personally would use a large screwdriver and lever/break the bottom tab off that but it's up to you!!!.if your trying to change top conveyor (bit with holes in above soap draw you don't need to take the container out to replace it.just break the plastic tabs around the sides and lift top off
