Cooking time is significantly longer for formed-bottom dishes, as the bottom receives only a
part of infrared radiation emitted by the hot field.
Place the dishes in the middle of graphically indicated hot field before switching on.
To avoid scratching the surface of the hob’s plate, do not move any dishes with materials stuck
to the bottom, like grains of sand or remnants of cleaning agents.
NOTES – for obvious reasons, you are not allowed to:
- use plastic dishes!!!
- use aluminum dishes
- put empty dishes on the hob’s heating fields when a burner is working!!!
Do not put dishes on or do not block the combustion gas outlet grate at the back of the
hob, particularly when it is working !!!
3.8. Utilization of combustion gas heat.
The GPC-2 ceramic gas plate has additional hot field – no 4, which is shown on fig. 1, using
the heat of combustion gas leaving the burner to the outlet grate situated in the rear part of hob.
This hot area can be used for warming up meals that do not require high temperature.
Use of this hot area significantly reduces the hob maintenance costs, as we utilize the heat of
combustion gas emitted from the burner.
Note:
- the additional hot area is hot and you must remember it to avoid getting burnt when touching it.
- do not allow boiling over of prepared dishes and avoid grease splashing on the ceramic plate, as
the food remainders and oil can get burnt.

3.9. Reduction of operating time.
To improve operating safety, the hob has a working time limiter for each hot field. The
maximum operating time setting is determined automatically according to recently selected heating
power setting.
If you do not change the heating power level for a long time, then the corresponding hot field is
automatically shut down and the residual heat indicator “H” is activated. However, you can switch
on and use the individual fields at any time, according to operating instructions. These relationships
are given in Table 2.
