I burned something recently and the smoke came up through the back vent and discolored the white hard vinyl/rubber parts where the knobs are. It also discolored the edging of the top of the oven door. I've tried using the product I use to clean the glass stove top but with no success. Any suggestions? The stove is otherwise completely pristine - but the yellow discolored parts makes it look old dirty. I have a very expensive white electric stove.

The peroxide needs to be between 10-15%, which isn't something you can buy at your local drug store(at least not in my state), and the items to be de-yellowed should be under the UV light _while_ in the bath of peroxide or constantly being painted with the retr0bright gel. My suggestion would be to just link Retr0bright and not try to transcribe their instructions, considering the process is ongoing.
