Remove top oven trim of OBI B10 Whirlpool oven

I need to clean the double glass of the oven without removing the door. In some models the top door trim can be removed by unscrewing the screws or through small clicks on the sides. My Whirlpool OBI B10 model no. 000 947 44 has neither. I don't know whether the top oven trim can be just pulled or not. There are two little things on the sides. Pls see the pictures, I cannot describe the issue very well. Thanks!

    I have no idea about the trim, but
    How to remove the oven door:
    1.Open the oven door fully (see fig. 1).
    2.Lift the two catches and push them forwards as far as they go (see fig. 2).
    3.Remove the door by closing it partially and pulling it upwards (see fig. 3).

    To remount the door:
    1.Insert the hinges into their grooves and lower the door fully.
    2.Lower the two catches.
    3.Close the oven door fully.

    Just take the door off and place the glass surfaces (may be 3) in the dishwasher.

    The door removal takes seconds.

    I might give up and remove the door...
    Thanks to both of you.

    Hi again
    Removed the door. It's not possible just to pull down the inner glass or lift it. Does the "thing" at the bottom of the door (see picture 4) need to be unscrewed? It's not a screw though, tried different tools to remove it but maybe be that is not the right solution. Thanks again

    Have a look along the plastic retaining strip on the top edge to see if there's any recesses to allow them to be levered out. If they come off then the glass should just lift out.

    That would have been my first solution (see thread). But, as it wasn't clear if the trim could just be removed, I removed the whole door. In many other models there are screws but in mine there is that things you can see in the last picture.

    I am progressing...
    Can anybody tell me if what I called the ''thing'' in picture 4 is an Oven Door Glass Support Bracket ?
    If so I might have to remove them to remove the inner glass. 
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
