GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Application of the plate.
The GPC-2 type plate is a ceramic hob with 2 gas burners located underneath. This is the
newest generation of gas hobs where special gas burners controlled by an electronic system process
heat generated through gas combustion into infrared radiation. Radiation infiltrating the ceramic
plate heats the dishes positioned above the hot fields. Hot fields are indicated graphically on the
plate. This hob is provided with touch sensors for controlling its operations. It is fit for building in
a single kitchen countertop or in a combined countertop. It is designed for non-professional (home)
preparation of food and for household use.
Advanced solutions applied in the hob’s construction and design give it a nice esthetical
appearance while ensuring comfortable and safe use.

In terms of fire risk, the hob is classified as a safe device
1.3 Design of the gas hob
The hob (fig. 1) has two injector gas burners rated as specified in the table above, with a ceramic
insert, equipped with igniting electrodes and ionizing detectors of burning gas. Burners in which
catalytic combustion of gas takes place produce infrared radiation. They are covered with a
ceramic panel with four separate hot fields above the ceramic burners, indicated graphically on the
panel, and one hot pads above combustion gas ducts of gas burners, which do not consume gas.
Because the hob controls must be supplied with 12 VDC power, the hob is supplied from a 12V
power source via a special power pack to be connected to the 230V household system, included
with the delivered hob. Nozzles adapted to commonly used G 20 gas are installed in the delivered
hob by default. The gas source can be a gas network, or a liquid gas cylinder. Through replacing
the working nozzles according to Table 1 and changing the size of air diaphragm according to
Table 3, the user is able to adapt the hob to burning a different type of gas.
A touch control panel is located in the front part of the hob (fig. 1). It is for controlling and
regulating the specific gas burners of the hob. It also displays relevant messages of the cooker
operating conditions.
