Greg, those overlays, or dymo tape might not work on all touch
pads.  The oven I had before had a touch pad that was heat
sensative, and not pressure sensative.  If you cover up the heat
sensative touch pad, the heat from your finger will not get to the
pad.  Today most of them may be pressure sensative, I don't know.
The way you can tell, is to touch it withoug any pressure, and if
it works, then it is heat sensative.  If you have to put pressure
to the pad, then the overlay, or dymo tape will work.  In my old
one, I had to put dymo tape next to the number in stead on top.
