Don't even bother with anything you can buy from a retailer. We've used https://www.ovenu.co.uk/ and they've been great. We have pyrolytic ovens now and an induction hob, so no longer need their services.
Oven Pride works well. Leave it in the bag for 24 - 48 hours.
I've also had good results with Mr Muscle Oven cleaner, but spray it on and pop it in a bag for 24 - 48 hours too - just to stop it drying out.
Quick wipe-over with a sponge under some running water and it'll be clean (but might slightly discolour the silver-colour).

It's not acid, it's alkali (sodium hydroxide) - exactly the opposite. IE 'caustic' (see above).used this on a property that students had been using !! came up a treat with a little bit of elbow grease, word of warning it will make the cast ali bits go a darker colour as the acid reacts with it slightly (no damage done) however the actual oven/glass/enamel/wire shelves etc looked like new

Way back in the day when we used to live in military married quarters and a horrible little man in white gloves used to come and inspect when you marched out, we used to use caustic soda. Took the cooker to bits, put all the bits in the bath, filled with a fairly concentrated solution and left for a day or two.We got wise after doing that a couple of times and purchased our own cooker. We had to take the service one out on march in, wrap it in plastic and store it and then reinstate it when we marched out. How we used to laugh!
Every 18. months we get someone in to do it. Something like this:

The oven and hob look like new, much better than I could ever get it.
