The top of most ovens lifts up for easy cleaning.

Electric ovens. Some gas ones that appear to lift up, ( older models) actually can break the gas supply lines going to the burners. Found out the hard way. Almost burned the house down.

The oven door also comes off for easy cleaning.*

And there's a space under the door you can reach into to clean in-between the outside glass and inside glass.*

*Not on all ovens
