REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position (1). Close the door as much as you can (2). Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle. Simply remove the door (3) by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b).
Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating, and securing the upper part onto its seating. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: make sure that you lower them down completely. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.
CLICK & CLEAN – CLEANING THE GLASS
After removing the door and resting it on a soft surface with the handle downwards, simultaneously press the two retaining clips (1) and remove the upper edge of the door by pulling it towards you (2).
- Lift and firmly hold the inner glass with both hands, remove it, and place it on a soft surface before cleaning it.
- To correctly reposition the inner glass, make sure that the “R” is visible in the left-hand corner and the clear surface (not printed) is facing up.
- First, insert the long side of the glass indicated by “R” into the support seats, then lower it into position.
Refit the upper edge: a click will indicate the correct positioning. Make sure the seal is secure before refitting the door.
