3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the StoveGuard protector remains in place during cooking. It is designed to withstand heat and protect your stove from spills and splatters. The material is heat-resistant, but it is important to maintain safety proximity standards, ensuring the protector fits as closely as possible to each burner without obstructing flame or ventilation.
The protector acts as a barrier, catching food debris, grease, and liquids that would otherwise accumulate on your stove's surface. This allows for easier cleanup after cooking.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your StoveGuard protector, consider the following:
