Simon, Hotpoint provide panels. A few years back they were done inhouse, but this may have changed now and there could be quite a wait for the panel. (I've just bought a Hotpoint cooker, so that's why I'm saying this.) You can't always fit the Braille onto the panel very well and I had a big discussion when our washer panel was being made as the engineer said something like "We just use dots because most people don't read Braille and you can't fit everything on". I eventually got a slightly modified panel! <SMILE> Hope this may help. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of simon.dowling Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 10:01 AM To: access Subject: [access-uk] washing machines. hi list, I am in the market for a new machine as mine gave up the ghost today.
