Even with this gadget, I still can't remove the glass cover
I've had this Neff oven for about 10 years and the bulb failed after about a year and a half but I've been cooking in the dark ever since because I couldn't get the cover off. Now, having seen all the good comments about this gadget, I sent for one (and also a replacement lens, although mine isn't broken - yet!). The old lens still refuses to unscrew, although it does move about a quarter turn before stopping. I have tried pre-heating the oven to 50C and tapping with a wooden spoon to see if it will loosen. I have given up for now, but hoping someone can help. I seem to be the only one who can't get it to work.

Try when hot give a firm but not too heavy blow to the lamp cover with a wooden or rubber mallet as this may help break any bond created by grease or cleaner residue. Then try and work back and forth until the cover turns and releases. Worst case you may have to replace the lamp holder and cover if required.
