When the coils are cold take a good look. Some of the coils will swing up out of the way for cleaning. Others will unplug and slide out for cleaning. Once they are gone take off the burner drip pan (chrome or aluminum under them) and soak in in hot water and dishwasher detergent. Then scrub them with a non abrasive brush. If the drip pans don't get clean you can get aluminum foil covers that fit over them or if they are really uncleanable replace them.
As far as what is under the hole when you take out those drip pans, some ovens have the oven top swing up so you can try cleaning that with a sponge and detergent. Other stoves have tops that don't cooperate and you can try just cleaning the part you can reach.
Try whichever cleaner you like. It can be natural if that is what you have in mind - as long as it removes as much dirt as you want removed. If you clean the parts using dishwasher detergent there is one "Sun and Earth" that claims to be 100% natural (as part of their whole line of cleaners with that claim).

go to the store and buy a oven cleaner, sometime the coil pull out some don`t, just spray, leave on for as long as it says then wipe out, that is it, don`t be afraid,just follow the istructions, sometimes the oven will have a self cleaner installed, right in the oven its self,close the oven door and push oven clean to on.

I vacuum the oven....not too concerned with the blackness because only I see it. Once in a while I set it to "self clean" but I only let it go through half of the cycle, or about 2 hours.

you can actually pull the coils off and clean under them. they also sell these metal things that you can put under the coil and just replace them when they get dirty.

I do a small manual cleaning first to get off and large crusty areas and then I put it on self clean. It does a great job . when it cools down I wipe it down with a damp cloth and it is "good to go" :-)
