NES Cooktop Use and Care Manual
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Remove all packing materials and literature from
the cooktop surface.
• While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and
dry.
• Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme
with the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth. (See
Page 9 for daily care instructions.)
• There may be a slight odor during the fi rst
several uses; this is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used. (See Page
7.)
• The cooking surface will hold the heat and re-
main hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the
elements have been turned off.
• Read all safety precautions and Use and Care
Manual information prior to operating.
Precautions for Long Life and Good Appear-
ance of the Surface
• Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme will protect the surface and make it easier
to remove food soil and water spots.
• The ceramic glass cooking surface is a durable
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if
a pan or other object is dropped on it.
• Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it
will melt and damage the glass surface.
• Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in
contact with the hot glass surface; these items
can melt or burn and damage the glass surface.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage
the pan, element and/or the cooktop.
• Never cook food directly on the glass.
• Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other
metal stand on the glass surface.
• Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
• Do not slide cookware across the cooking
surface; it may scratch the glass.
• Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

General Operation of Cooktop

The cooktop uses touch pads and a magnetic dial to
operate the cooktop. When touching the glass of a touch
pad, such as an element or function pad, use the fl at part
of the fi nger and touch the center of the pad. A beep will
sound when touching any of these pads.

mTwisT Dial

The cooktop uses a mTwisT magnetic dial to select the
desired heat setting. The mTwisT dial is held onto the
cooktop by a strong magnet and automatically positions
itself in the center of the dial location when placed on
the cooktop.

Panel Lock

If the knob is removed from the cooktop while the cooktop
is operating, the elements turn off. The cooktop cannot
be used again until the knob is returned. This is known
as panel lock.
The panel lock can be set to activate immediately upon
removal of the knob or after a ten second delay. The
default setting is the ten second delay.
To turn the delay off :
1. Turn all cooking zones to level 5 (See Cooktop

4. Front Left
3. Press and hold the power key until it beeps (about
fi ve seconds).
To activate the delay, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3

Element 'ON' Indicator Light
The area above the element touch pad being used will
show the cook setting when the element is on. When the
element is turned off, the hot surface indicator comes on
in this area. (See Hot Surface Indicator Light below).
Hot Surface Indicator Light
Each element features a hot indicator light to show
when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. A letter
H will appear above the element touch pad. The light
remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-
to-touch temperature.
If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Retained Heat

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot
after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained
heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures
for a short time.
