How to replace main oven light Neff U1422

[44t]

Hi,
Has anyone replaced one of these lamps in the main oven? The user booklet suggests turning anticlockwise. I’ve tried this, it turns a few degrees only then neither turns any further nor pulls off. How far should I have to turn before this comes away?
Thanks

Bonded nicely into place with congealed grease. Use force – a tea towel for added grip may do it. I have had to use water pump pliers in the past….

Thanks for the suggestion, I did in fact use some water pliers but it is somewhat disconcerting to use these on a glass cover! I had tried rubber gloves etc.for extra grip but it was unbelievably tight. On removal there was no build up of deposit to cause it to get stuck, it just appeared to be fitted unnecessarily tight. I also checked the fitting in the small oven and this was the same.

Hi
The new lamp holders are coming with a new lense cover c/w metal collar to alleviate this jamming problem 😀
