Vienna, Austria - Laundry and Internet

I don't know how I would get by without Internet access. I decided to use the apartment washing machine. How hard could that be? I put my clothes in, my wonderful Purex laundry sheet, closed the lid and pushed a button. The washer then began to clank every 30 seconds. No water flowed. I pushed a few more buttons to change settings but no change. Here are my options:

If you don't read German, you see my problem. I decided to try the Google Translate app on my phone to see if it would help. (Machine continues to make a noise but no washing.)

You can see the screen shot below that the translator made a world of difference in understanding the panel. 


But still no functioning washer and no OFF button. So I pulled the plug, 

made a cup of coffee and Googled the make and model number. I found a downloadable user manual!

I read the instructions and the part that I missed was to close the drum door. Drum door? What drum door? Oh, that drum door!
Locked and loaded, buttons pushed and the machine is now fully functional.

Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.
