Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for F33 on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the oven off to interrupt the Self Clean program.
Let the oven cool and do not force the door.
If the lock still will not release, book a visit.

What not to do
F33 is not a lock that simply has not released yet because the cavity is still hot. It is the release failing.
