A:Answer the peeling is actually a thin plastic film that is there to protect the control panel during shipping, etc. it is meant to be removed. You can remove it by starting at a corner and getting a fingernail underneath it, then pulling it gently off.. the control panel is in pristine condition beneath it.. a lot of appliance manufacturers have this film on there control panels. I have found it on my microwave and dryer control panels. I have had this model for over a year and the control panel is perfect. Just get rid of the film.
