invention is to
protect the head of a stove by covering the control panel protecting it from
dust that can
infiltrate inside the control panel and cooking splatter.

insects and cleaning products can be found and seen through the glass of the
front control
panel. The same with cooking splatter that can occur whenever used, soiling
the exterior
portion of the control panel glass.
So far, the only known method to clean the inside of a control panel, is to
take apart the
head of the conventional stove to be able to go clean inside which is a
laborious job. As
for the cooking splatter, the acknowledged way to maintain a clean control
panel, is to
clean it whenever cooking or frying is done, which is also a laborious job
since for the
most part, we cook on a conventional stove at least everyday.
The main purpose of this invention is to protect the head and control panel of
a
conventional stove from dust and spatter and to keep it clean and for decor.

lined with fire
resistant material and are binded together like a hood that fits and
completely covers the
head and control panel of the conventional stove. Preferably, the window that
permits to
