Default hotpoint 6115 oven door hinges

Most downward opening doors seem to use the same system whereby you release a couple of "safety-catches" by flipping a small pivoting piece of metal backwards, part open the door and then lift the bottom edge of the door. With a bit of a shoogle and a pull it should come out.

Are these your hinges? https://parts.hotpoint.co.uk/product...44027?n=SN5000

To expand a little on the method, you open the door fully and then look
for something each side which flips into a position that locks the hinge
"open". When this is done, if you start to close the door then the
vertical bit of hinge inside disengages from the cooker frame and, as
Tim says, the whole door plus hinge jiggles out.

Another tip, if your hinges don't pull the door fully closed it is
because the springs have lost some of their tension, rather than buildup
of cooked grease. They need to be replaced (not particularly expensive).
