Solgaz GPC-3 - Utilization of Combustion Gas Heat; Reduction of Operating Time

Cautions – in case of a electricity cut, the residual heat indicator will go
off and the pad may still be hot.
Note: ”H” also refers to the additional hot area, which means that additional hot field (no 5 fig.1)
may be hot as well.
3.7. Choice of pots. To maximize utilization of heat transmitted by infrared radiation emitted by
the gas burner, use appropriate dishes that must have:
- diameter similar to hot field size,
-
flat bottom of appropriate thickness, min. 4 to 6 mm for stainless steel pots. In addition, the dishes
must have lids (if allowed by recipe). Make sure the lid does not protrude outside the dish and
condensate does not drip on the ceramic panel. You will thus avoid difficult stains on the surface of
the panel.
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-3 ceramic gas plate has additional hot field –
no 5, 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
