Step 1. Remove The Oven Door

Oven doors have different types of release mechanisms depending on the model. While some require a pin or nail to be inserted through a hole in the hinge which locks the mechanism and allows you to lift the door away from the oven, others have a catch on the hinge that you need to turn.

Step 2. Unscrew All The Screws

After detaching the oven door, put it on a secure flat surface, like a table. Unfasten all the six screw heads using the torque head screw set and an electric drill. The screws are located on the back and bottom part of the door.

Take note also that if the screws are a bit rusty and grimy, clean them. If the screws are damaged, you should replace them.

Step 3. Separate The Two Pieces Of Glass

The Neff oven door frame is comprised of two pieces of glass. So before you can actually replace or fix your oven door handles, you need to separate the inner and outer glass to reach the handle screws that are located on the inside of the outer glass.
