Mike, take extreme care with removal of the 'heat shield' stapled to the cabinet. That is a classic looking case of degraded asbestos. I wouldn't recommend leaving it in. I'm sure someone here knows where it get thin heat shields to replace it with. Dampen it well with Windex before carefully easing the staples out of the cabinet. Put it all in a zip top plastic bag to dispose of it. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
