Things You'll Need
Spray bottle
Ammonia
Nonabrasive scouring pad
Paper towels
Maytag manufactures a wide range of ovens for home cooks. Whether you use a gas, convection or electric oven, the cooking process often results in food and grease splatters. When food residue comes in contact with the glass oven door, it can burn onto the hot glass and leave a tough film behind. The door's exterior is often exposed to fingerprints and debris from range cooking. While the self-cleaning feature can burn away any stains on the oven's interior, the process takes hours to complete. Clean the glass door with common household products to restore its clarity and appearance.

Scrub the glass with a nonabrasive scouring pad to loosen the softened residue. Rinse the scouring pad, and wipe the glass once again to remove any leftover debris.
Step 4
Spray the glass door once again with ammonia, and wipe the glass clean with paper towels.
Step 5
Close the Maytag oven door, and spray the exterior glass with ammonia.

Tip
Wipe away food splatters from the cooled oven glass after each use to prevent tough stains.
Wear gloves to protect your hands while cleaning with ammonia.
