Mice, steel wool, and range safety

I've made a lot of headway battling mice in my kitchen since I bought my house, but they're still finding their way in , and it's been via the range. I caught one last night scampering into the openings under the control panel of m GE Profile range.

So, does anyone know, is it safe to seal off all of the openings in the back of a gas range by stuffing them with steel wool? I can't see why it would be unsafe, but I don't know about these things, so better safe than sorry. I cannot stand mice in my kitchen! And I just want them unable to come in. I don't want to poison them or trap them.
