The inner pane B (with side decors) must be arranged with the decorated surface to the inner side of the door. The slight roughness of the printing must not be discernible when you stroke your fingers over the visible surface.

Contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further. It is not possible to reverse the oven door.
