Hi all, I have a 9 month old "Leisure" double electric oven. I was using the top smaller oven and thought the only element was at the top, and put a ready meal plastic tray on the bottom of the oven thinking it would be cooler than being on the metal rack in the middle of the oven. Result was it stuck to the bottom, I have tried scrapping it while it is hot but it does not shift it very well. Has anyone any advice please? Would oven cleaning spray touch it? Mick.

Call the manufacturer for a recommendation on how to deal with this problem.

Uhm, I don't think using a spray-on oven-cleaner is a good idea? Those tend to be very caustic, I think, and the potential (?) reaction between the caustic oven cleaner and the plastic might be very unwelcomed (not that I know)??? Perhaps it's akin to mixing bleach with ammonia? As has been suggested, contact the manufacturer of the oven and ask, and/or check their website and its related FAQs? As a suggestion for the future, instead of storing plastic containers in the oven(s), store things like cast iron pans and other non-flammable items that won't melt without truly intense heat.

If it's Styrofoam, Acetone (nail polish remover) might do it but I would probably not use nail polish as it has other stuff in it. You could however use NPR as a test, if it dissolves the plastic, then get some straight Acetone. PLEASE be careful and don't let acetone pool up anywhere in there, the stuff is extremely flammable. If some is spilled however, it should evaporate in minutes, just wait over night to light the oven after using it. Acetone also smells horrible, keep a window open and make sure there is air moving through the area. If you use straight Acetone instead of NPR, the smell should dissipate overnight when you are done.

Where did the OP say they were "storing" plastic containers in the oven? I read the post three times, I didn't get the notion they were "storing" anything. I gathered it was used like a drip pan or something similar.
I agree with you and Barb, check with the oven manufacturer before attempting to clean up the melted mess.

LOL! I suspect you're right. Aside from burnt plastic I also smell a Troll ;)

If it's the "Ready Meal" brand then it's basically an MRE on a plastic dish. Comes with a chemical heater. Don't know what plastic they use but a call to the manufacturer should yield an answer.

I administer maintenance contracts for the USMC, and have experienced some quite good home appliance repair with selected contractors over the years. As advised here, I would first call the manufacturer for cleaning/removal information, then I'd call a local appliance repair person to come clean out for me. I say call someone else to come clean out only because of my various arthritic concerns, as cleaning on my own could be too painful.
Funny story on my own oven burn problem.... I used to work with a Master Guns WM that knew she could get over on me by simply stating something along the line of "Miss Jeanine, you are the only one we can trust to do this well, so...." Just as I was to leave for the day before a pre-planned, between Christmas and New Year's all-hands feast, she plopped two huge hams on my desk to be dressed and roasted that night. I was already perparing something else for the feast that was to take up all my oven space for most of the evening. After midnight I dressed and placed the damnhams into the oven, only on 250, to heat-blend in their coating of JamLady's Apricot Pineapple, with my brown sugar and mustard glaze, and then went to bed expecting merely a four hour snooze. The smoke alarm woke me up an hour before my alarm would have. The pans I had used for the hams were the "tin foil" sort one buys at the grocers. Both of the pans had somehow developed wee holes in their bottoms, letting the ham/glaze juices spill out and burn over the entire oven bottom.
I called in my favorite, best appliance tech to come that day to clean out the oven for me, suspecting that the bottom plate really had to be removed to clean, He came while I was at work, he stood by while using the oven's very high temp lock-clean process, after which he did remove the bottom liner so as to properly clean off all of the burn dust from it, as well as from below the liner where some had drifted to. Everything was put back to right with the oven back together correctly, and all was good. Hah! I came home to an all but invisible soot covering everything in my kitchen and dining room, but for the foot prints he left behind. His shop vac apparently had leaked a good deal of the soot out that he'd so carefully vacuumed up, and he was too hurried on to a next appointment to do anything but leave me a tell-note that he'd be back by after I got home to then help me with whole house cleaning. ...Picky

Perhaps I have missed something but wouldn't physically removing as much plastic as possible and then using self-cleaning do what is needed.
