G'day,
I'm in a rented house that's been in continuous occupancy (not by me!) for half a decade. I've been cleaning the electic oven, which is a Kleenmaid, built into the bench. Cleaning the oven itself has been no problem, but I've noticed that there seems to be an extra kind of 'catchment area' beneath the main body of the oven; it's covered by a little metallic grill, and doesn't slide open - it seems to be fixed there. When you have the oven door half open, you can see in there, and there's a centimetre deep of unspeakable horror. There's oven grease, dead maggots and insects, etc. I tried as I might, but I couldn't find a way to get in there to clean beneath the oven. Is this the kind of thing that requires dismantling the oven with a screwdriver? I hope somebody can help.
Cheers, Jamie in Australia
