After a long period, grease can get caught and cooked between the double windows. You can usually remove them with a screwdriver to clean them. Beware it may void a warranty if that is an issue though.
Caked on grease is best removed by letting the glass soak in detergent (like dawn) if it comes all the way out. If not, you can wipe it down with a detergent on a sponge. Then pat it dry with paper towel and use a solution of white vinegar and water to make it shiny and get the baked bits off. If your warranty won't allow you to remove the double glass, you can at least get it cleaner by using this method on the inside and outside. This won't solve what is jammed between the double window, but will probably make it so you can see inside.

I was offered a new display GE profile Gas cooktop grill that was in the appliance store approx 10 yrs. It's just the grill and downdraft fan to mount next to an existing range. They said $150 and I can have it. It's a discontinued model. Is it worth buying?

These stoves [4 of them, 2 with burners and 2 with grills] at my Church here in Santa Ana, CA are over 50 years old and have been refurbished once in that time. I was requested to figure out why 2 of the ovens would not light. One came on without a problem but the second one would light but not stay on. Having had thermocouple problems with my home, I figured the first thing to try was the replacement of the thermocouple. In looking at the thermocouple location, I noted that it was under the right side below the oven. I also noted in looking for a way to get to the thermocouple that the only entry seemed to be from the top [the bottom of the oven]. In attempting to remove the oven bottom I removed 2 screws near the front and was not able to see any other screws that would hold the plate in place [ I did look for such connections on the back of the oven wiht no success]. In attempting to lift the plate out, I was able to lift the front of the plate up but the back seemed unmovable. My dilemma is where the rear attachments might be located. My question to you is where such attachments are to be found? Once the bottom is out, replacing the thermocouple should be no problem.
A second and more long term problem that we have faced has been the smell of natural gas in the church's kitchen when the room has not been occupied for several hours [such as Sunday evening to Monday morning]. We have had numerous episodes of pilot lights being extinguished for no apparent reason. We have found through experimentation that putting up metal barriers reduces the frequency of pilot lights going out but this has not eliminated the problems. Since we are in southern California, we regularly have the outside door of the kitchen open during our Pre-school program and there may be a connection to outside wind but a buffer between the stove and the outside only reduces the frequency of the outage and does not eliminate the problem. It turns out that I have a natural gas detection meter, so I can locate any leaks that may have happened over the years but how to combat the pilot light outages seems to escape our understanding and thus our ability to make the kitchen less toxic. We would appreciate you suggestions about how to troubleshoot and fix the pilot light outage problem and the gas smell problem.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Sincerely,

I have a gas stove in a rental unit. The tenant moved out. When we lifted the top plate for cleaning, we found the entire backside of the top plate covered in rust, plus rust "dust" was all over, around the burners. What could possibly cause this large amount of rust in the interior (not the oven) of a gas stove? The tenant lived there only for 2 months. Thank you for your help.
