QuestionDoes the surface scratch or stain easily?
Asked 6 years ago by JDW.
- Answer It does not scratch easily. But certain stains, like burned sugar are impossible to get out. It seems like it got into the glass somehow. Looks terrible. Looking to get a new top. Love the stove, has 4 burners along with a warmer unit.

QuestionIs the Whirlpool a solid black glass, or are the burners and control strip different than the rest of the cooktop? In the photos, it appears to be black glass and a charcoal glass. Wondering how that affects cleaning.
Asked 6 years ago by CjPh.
- Answer The burners and control strip are black and the rest of the cooktop is a dark charcoal color. I really had to look at the cooktop to answer your question, because I could not remember, so it must not be any sort of issue with me. Hope this helps.

QuestionMy current 30" Whirlpool Gold Electric cooktop had a cut out depth of 3.75 inches. Can I easily replace it with a new 30 "Whirlpool electric cook top with a cut out depth of 5 1/4 inches without any problems? All my other cut out dimensions are the same.
Asked 3 years ago by Help2.
- Answer You should check under your countertop and measure the clearance to the nearest obstacle (vertical dimension). I had to do this too because my old cooktop was only 2.5 inches in depth. None of my drawers and cookware stored below interfered with the extra depth needed.
