How to clean a glass oven door?

I have an electric stove with a glass window in the door. I find that I have streaks and cooked on debris between the panes of the glass. Does anyone know how to clean this?

    You can remove the oven door and then unscrew it (take it apart), clean it, and then put it back together. This happened to ours and, since it was still under warranty, someone came out and used this process. My husband watched and then the next time it happened, he was able to do it himself. This is definitely a major design flaw in nearly every oven -- the food/liquid seeps in through the upper vents in the door.

    If you Google this question, you will find a youtube video that gives instructions for this job. Mine did this, too, and no, I haven't yet been brave enough to undertake the task. Looks like a messy job. They say it can be done without taking the door apart.

    If you want to clean between the glass between your oven doors, but don't want to take the door apart, you can try feeding a wire through the narrow holes on the underside of the door. For easier access to these holes, it helps to remove the drawer underneath your oven. After removing the drawer, unbend a wire hanger and straighten out one end. Wrap a couple of paper towels around the wire and secure them with a rubber band.Spray a bit of vinegar and soap ( 1:1 ) mixture onto the paper towel. Then carefully insert your “cleaning tool” through the narrow holes in the oven door and use it to wipe any brown stains on the inside of the glass. If you can’t find any access holes on the bottom of your oven door that would allow you to clean between the glass, don’t worry! You can still clean between the glass, but you might need a screwdriver to do it. Consult the owner’s manual for your oven to find out how to open up the glass panes so you can clean between them. (If you can’t find the manual, you can probably find a digital copy online by typing the make and model of your oven into Google.)
