Something fell in the over (or was in it already) and caught fire. The fire was quickly put out, but now we have this plastic residue on the bottom of the over. Is there a type of cleaner that can get rid of the melted plastic without ruining the non-stick surface of the oven? What is the best way to get rid of it? It is such a thin layer that scraping is not really an option, but the fumes are still really strong if the oven is turned on.
Thanks in advance!

A few possible options:
Rubbing alcohol.
WD-40.
Household ammonia is good at removing acrylic based residue and I know it removes the protective plastic film that comes on so many metal surfaces.
Hot Iron Cleaner available at hardware or fabric stores.
Citrus based cleaner like De-Solv-It.
Call a local fire restoration company and ask them what they use and if you can get a small bottle of their cleaner for your own use. They may balk at that, but since it's a small job maybe they won't mind.

well, did the plastic drip down into the oven itself.......the wiring and so forth and is it all just on the plate or bottom of the oven? well, scrape it off and wash it well........and it should be okay to use again. I'd run a few small tests first, before cooking some big holiday meal though. Nothing worse than Turkey or Ham that tastes like melted plastic.

Put the oven on a low heat. When the plastic starts smoking (or gets soft) wipe it up with a rough material towel (Terrycloth or denim) Do not use WD-40 in the oven. It is a flammable liquid and will smell worse than the plastic when it gets hot.

I accidentally melted the bread bag to the side of the toaster one time, and after trying everything to scrape it off, I finally tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and it instantly came off. Be careful...you'll need to clean the oven really good if you use it because it contains pharmaldehyde in it (sorry about spelling, lol).

If it's a full size oven it may have a self cleaning setting. Set it and let it do it's cleaning. When it's finished you just brush all the debris out, or vacuum it out once it cools.
Hope this helps :-)

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

I suggest you put ice on it to make it firm and then use a razor blade to scrape it up.
