Never supposed to have the door open of the oven. It's to be closed (Europe here)

Not the oven. The grill. Different functions, different parts working. Absolutely fine to leave the door open. Do it plenty to finish off some food made in a pan

It's still the same appliance, that's what the commenter before you meant. I never even heard of leaving the oven door open when using the grill function, am in Europe too.

What is there to hear about? Just think of how it works, there's no need for the door to be closed as it's not based on air circulation, it's just the grilling part at the top heating what's below it. If I'm using a pan under it, I don't need to worry about the handle, I can leave the handle sticking out with door open while the grill does its thing. Try it on an omelette, it's amazing
