I saved these notes from the internet when I planned to paint my stove... never did. Hope something here helps you.
I used a Scotchbrite pad quickly over all surfaces...think it did better than scraping or sanding...wiped it down w something too, but no memory of if it was turpentine, paint thinner, etc... then I painted.
I went over the stove with some steel wool and spray painted it with Rustoleum Hi Temp BBQue flat black spray paint.

Remove oil, graphite, or other burned-on substances from the surface of the stove. Put on eye protection and gloves. Use a clean, white rag and pour a small amount of tri sodium phosphate onto the
surface to be cleaned. Scrub the surface with the rag to remove all dirt, or use a wire brush for heavier debris. Wipe the surface with another clean rag.
Remove excess oil. Use a lacquer thinner instead of tri sodium phosphate for very oily stove surfaces. Apply with a clean, white rag and scrub the surface. Use another clean, white rag to wipe it down.
Remove stubborn, chipped paint. Use medium-grit sandpaper on areas of the stove that have paint bubbles or stubborn chipped paint that can't be removed with the rag. Lightly sand the stove until it is as smooth to the touch as possible.
