By silicone spray do you mean WD-40?
YIKES!!!! NO!!!!
Not unless you want an explosion or tremensous fire!!!
DO NOT put any CHEMICAL IN your oven!!! That's ASKING for trouble!!!
Unless someone comes up with another idea, LIVE WITH IT for now!!

Shirley, here's what I do, because I have the same problem. It's a PAIN, but, it works. And believe me, I have been searching and researching on this for a long time and have yet found any solution except for a new oven/stove....hummm, that may not be a bad idea!!
All joking aside, what I do is remove the food to another rack or set it on the oven door to keep by the heat and them remove the pan with the water, replace the food to the oven.
Just promise you will not go spraying anything in your oven...we want you back here, in one piece!
P.S. When you use your self clean cycle, when it is over, go back and check the side racks, if they are part of your oven (grooves in the side walls). If they are removable, remove them, too, before using the self clean cycle. If they are part of your oven, clean them by hand AFTER the self clean cycle, despite using it. You know how the oven feels kind of "gritty" after the cycle, and if you had anything goopy on spill over onto the bottom, you have "ash", which you have to clean out anyway??? There could be a buildup on your side racks as well and not just the oven racks.
