User Suggested Solutions

Use a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the dirty glass, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Disassemble the oven door to access the glass. Carefully remove any screws and clips, clean the glass with a suitable cleaner, and reassemble the door. Ensure all parts are secured properly.
Inspect and replace the door seal if it appears damaged or worn. This will prevent future buildup of grease and steam on the glass.
