Every time you use the oven there is a certain amount of vapor and steam that comes through the vent. Just wipe down that area frequently with a damp soapy wash cloth or sponge and that should prevent a build up. I have a white GE coil top and once in awhile I spray the panel with Windex Vinegar formula and wipe it off. It cleans very well and doesn't harm the surface. For the build up that you have try spraying some of this on it and let it set for a min or so, then wipe it off. This should do the trick. If not, try using some ceramic stove top cleaner, but rub gently.
I agree with you about the white appliances vs SS or black. White is easier to keep clean, it brightens up the kitchen and doesn't show fingerprints like SS or black. Eddie | ||

First thought was using a magic eraser or bleach cleaner, but did a quick google and found this. Very interesting. One of our "kitchen chemists" here will know if there is a way to add a bleaching agent to help whiten, but I may order some of this 'whiting" paint additive to try.
From ThriftyFun: www.thriftyfun.com/Cleaning-Heat-... By Cajun [59 Posts, 327 Comments] September 14, 2009 Go to a good paint store and ask for 'Whiting'(it's a very fine powder typically used for thickening paint). It is also used as a polishing ingredient of Auto Waxes (the 'white powder' residue). It will not scratch porcelain or glass. Use a damp microfiber or terry cloth rag, saturate with liquid soap. Dampen the stain, sprinkle Whiting on, and then gently rub away the stain. The only way you can scratch the stove is to use a rag that will scratch it. Don't have to be rough; gently rubbing will suffice. Also excellent for removing stains on dinnerware, etc. Link is to the whiting product mentioned in above post.

I do Essentially the same with baking soda, and my supermarket's a lot closer than the Sherwin-Williams. Just sayin' Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Thanks for the ideas. The whiting looks like a good idea. The area in question is just painted so I need to be careful. | ||

I too have all white appliances in my kitchen. I did not like the idea of seeing fingerprints on stainlees steel. I worked in a restaurant during college and then after retiring 6 years in the Kitchen at Wegmans and Disney, no more SS. I use Bonami on my GE Profile, it is white on white with a white smooth top. I have tried all the ceramic top cleaners and not one worked to my approval. Bonami did. Mine is selfcleaning and I don't have any staining in the area of the vent from either regular baking or selfcleaning

Parunner, the design of the backsplash on your range is very similar to mine. I will have to try your cleaning idea. Thanks. | ||
