Standard house paint remover works well too (acetone?).  As with most of
this stuff use the proper gloves (and change glove set with this stuff.

One thing I should mention about oven cleaner is some metal mixtures
react
with a chemical(s) in the oven cleaner if left soaking too long.  I
ended up
with some GW terminators that took on a black surface after soaking for
a
day or two.  This "crust" was annoying thing to scrap off (harder to
scrape
than the metal it had adhered to and I ended up just priming over it
even
thought the texture was a little rough.
