If you use a generic brand of oven cleaner...that will remove it. Leave it on for a while then take off with a Scotchbrite pad.

Yes it must be a non caustic cleaner otherwise you may pit the alloy.

I have just cleaned my OS 50SX with Heavy Duty Jackeroo Barbecue cleaner from K Mart @ $4 and there is no sign of it affecting the Alloy DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER
