Asked 4 years ago by replace.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 36" Built-In Gas Cooktop - Black

• A:Answer Cooktop knobs breaking is certainly not something we would expect to happen and understand your concern. The knobs on this cooktop are electro-plated plastic but they are weighted so they have the feel of metal knobs without the heat issues. We hope this answers your question! If you have anything else you'd like to ask, let us know. We're here for you! -Chris@GEA

Q: QuestionWhich cooktop is easier to clean--stainless steel or black?

Asked 1 year ago by Checking78.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 36" Built-In Gas Cooktop - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. The black cooktop will need to be cleaned with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. be sure to rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight. -Don@GEAppliances
