Oven with tilting broiler assembly

A method for cleaning an oven, comprising:

• moving a broiler element mounted within an interior cavity of the oven, the interior cavity being defined by an interior liner defining the interior cavity between two generally parallel, spaced-apart side walls, a top wall extending between the two side walls, and a back wall extending downwardly from the top wall, the broiler element being moved from a cooking position, wherein the broiler element extends laterally along the top wall in a direction between the two side walls and longitudinally away from the back wall, to a cleaning position, wherein the broiler element extends laterally along the back wall in the direction between the two side walls and vertically away from the top wall;
• and
• powering the broiler element and the main heating element of the oven at temperatures in the order of about 475° C. for a predefined time so as to carry out a pyrolytic cleaning cycle.
