Can someone remind me how the front metal panel (housing stove knobs
and indicator light panel) comes off?

I have removed all screws, bottom of panel can be pulled out a bit
with some difficulty but it does not want to pop off the stove top
stainless steel panel. I looks like it locks into that panel but I am
afraid to pull out to hard less I bend something.

And another request, someone, sometime, on list, posted a paint
colour that closely matches the brown of this panel. Anyone know?

thanks
