I have an Electrolux High Speed Oven. It works great and I love it but for one thing. I did not realize that it would be so difficult to clean and did not clean it right away after each use. I have baked chicken in it several times and I now have carmelized, sticky gunk (from butter and chicken grease--not sure how else to describe it) all over the oven. It looks horrible and does not respond well to a variety of cleaning products. The oven's brochure says not to use oven cleaner. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello - Interior cleaning after convection, mix or broil cooking:
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it-not a soap filled steel pad-for use on stainlessor porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 450 F for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.
Interior cleaning after microwave cooking:
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE CONVECTION MICROWAVE OVEN.

Dear Hiltonjug: Thank you for your suggestion. The oven is not self-cleaning. Ammonia is about the only thing I haven't tried, but I have a bottle in the basement, so I'll give it a go.
