RTFM to see what is safe to use. Visit the GE site if you don't have a copy.
A plastic scrubber and 409 should be safe. However, 409 may contain bleach
which may remove the stove's labeling. Or you may be able to use oven
cleaner. You have to RTFM.
Once you get the accumulated crap off, you have to make it a habit to wipe the
splatter off every time you use the stove. Its a thousand times easier to
wipe the splatter off before it dries up and petrifies. Think about using
lids or screens to contain the splatter.

Remove all the knobs, they pull off and soak them. put paper towels
over the stove and spray them soaking wet with maybe 409 so it can
soak for hours and release the grease without drying, then scrub away.
On burnt on stuff a New razorblade works.

Thanks guys.
I should have added that I have a wife. Now how to get her to do
suggested cleaning techniques. I guess not. I'll attempt some
myself.

Pansy. Do it yourself. You said "my grimy hands". Clean up after yourself
like a real man.

Glass Plus(Windex competitor) works good for removing grease.
