It may be permanent. I had a similar problem occur with my first self-
cleaning oven (can’t remember the brand). It was caused by a small
spillover of juices from pork and sauerkraut. I concluded that the acid
from the sauerkraut etched the baked enamel finish. While the oven was
perfectly clean, this particular area remained dull. It will definitely
not affect the ovens baking or roasting ability.
