Cleaned my oven overnight Fri with Oven Pride.the one with the bag you put racks in...absolutely brilliant....Oven like new and so easy,but...how do I get inside the glass front.The inner glass is open at the bottom and I have a streak down it on the inside.Other than tying something to some bendy wire and trying to clean it that way?or...does anyone know of a tool or some other way of getting it absolutely showroom condition.
Pity I now have to go and get the Sunday roast in!!

Hi Brenda

Mine has the same sort of glass door........if you check the instructions that came with the cooker it should tell you how to separate the 2 doors for cleaning. It's been a long time since I did mine......but I remember it being easy to separate and reassemble. LOL

Brenda ,
i have a Hotpoint oven and the door just unclips so i can take it off then the inside glass just slips off so that i can clean it .
But if yours doesn't come off i dont know what you would do .

Mine is exactly the same..... a grease run, right in the centre. I know the door comes off and the inner glass slides out for cleaning. My son has shown me how to do this loads of times. Can I get my head around it?... can I heck!!. Waiting for son to come and visit so her can show me yet again.

It's a bit like C&P - I can't do that either despite numerous people showing me how. Must write it down.

I blame it on my age, as usual. lol

Our inner door just lifts straight out. You pull it upwards out of the grooves it sits in.

Thanks ladies....Have just looked at instructions and it does show how to remove.I tentatively tried but then I was afraid I might not get it back,and as OH can't do anything I think I'll wait till my grandsons come as don't want to be without my oven if I can't do it!...It is an AEG about 6 years old.

The oven cleaning job must have to be the worst job !!!!.I HATE IT !!!

For anyone interested....this Oven Pride cleaner is fab!
No scrubbing,use it on a cold oven,shelves in a bag overnight with the liquid and the dirt/grease just floats away...and no smells...thoroughly recommend it.

O.h.'s father praised the cleaning stuff so o.h. bought some, it's still in the cupboard! I do all the cooking but can't clean oven as I can't bend down that far and reach into the cavity without doing my shoulders a mischief.

O.h.'s Dad did his cooking pans in the bag too, silly idiot, it took all the nonstick surface off.

My cooker at home has a Yorkshire pud batter run inside the door and one screw had rusted in so I couldn't open it, must try some coca cola ont the screw one day and hope it releases the thread, otherwise will have a coke run to go with the Yorkie pud one!

I put my oven rack/shelf in the dish washer.I put it flat then just use a sponge/scourer to remove the grease that is, by the soft.

Our inner glass slides out.

Brenda, where do you buy the Oven Pride Cleaner? Sounds good.

Ann,
I bought mine in Morrisons,but my friend who recommended it bought her's in the Coop.In fact I think all stores have it.It's in an orange box about £3 50,although after I bought mine I saw it in Aldis at a pound less.My oven is shining inside and also the racks.

We've used Lakeland's oven cleaner for the past few years, having found it was one of the few that actually worked.

However, will give Oven Pride a go next time - half the price too.
