My teaching:
State 1 -> a sharp loud NO, picking them up and putting them somewhere else
State 2 -> clap in your hands, sharp noises startle them
State 3 -> hitting a rolled newspaper at safe distance from where they are and say NO (sharply)
State 4 -> water squirt
as soon as they (and I ) survived their adolescence (12 months) my cats were trained to act to the loud clapping. Important is to be very consequent and keep this in mind: What may be sweet for a kitten is not-so-sweet if this cat weighs 6-7 kg afterwards (using humans as a ladder e.g.).
It's not so good if you scold by using their names - use a neutral word to express your dissatisfaction (cussing helps, they don't mind) - but their name should be reserved for calling them and having something pleasant for them in store.

And yes: A stove IS dangerous.
