How can I remove melted-on plastic bag from the top of toaster oven?

I just bought a brand new-looking toaster oven from a thrift store and there was what looks like bread wrappers that had melted on (with printed material) and I've tried scraping w/flat wooden spoon, nylon scrubber, and paint thinner to remove. Nothing touches it -- heat, or even ice. Any better ideas? (It does toast and bake quite well.)

A very fine steel wool pad will do the job. Something like an SOS pad. I have done this more than once and have always been successful.

warm up the oven a bit to soften the plastic, shut off and use a soft scrapper,Then make a mixture with baking soda and water and gently rub until the residue comes of
razor blade carefully
The sure way to getter' done is WD40 and a flat razor blade scraper.
When the toaster oven was cool, I sprinkled baking soda on the area that had discolored from the melted plastic bread bag and rubbed it in to the residue. I then dabbed my finger in white vinegar and just swirled it around over the baking soda and the residue immediately started to form a paste and the residue came right off.
