Changing bulb in AEG DCE73110M top oven. HOW ???

[Brian Lacey]

Simple task, just put a replacement bulb into the top oven on our AEG DCE73110M unit.
Handbook says to just prise the cover off by using something like a spoon and fitting it into the indentation on the lower edge.
Problem !
As the photo shows, ours does not have an indentation on the lower edge, it is flush all round.
So .... how do I remove the cover ?
Thanks

That lens, looks identical to our two, but a Stoves, and one at either side. If the same, the lens springs into place. If it seems immovable, tap it with a bit of wood, to free it, then use a flat screwdriver under the lip.

Lamp is probably an SBC. Make sure the replacement states it is 240v - the EU ones intended for 230v do not survive long, and that it is an oven lamp too. If the old lamp breaks whilst trying to unscrew it, use a wine cork to unscrew the base.

Thanks, now sorted, just needed to be "firm" to remove the shelf support and then the spoon thing did work.
Can see what we are cooking now !!
