Solgaz GPC-3 - 1 General Information; Application of the Hob; Design of the Gas Hob; Technical Data of the GPC-3 Hob

1.1. Application of the hob.The GPC-3 type plate is a ceramic hob with 3 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.

1.3. Design of the gas hob
.
The hob (fig. 1) has three 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 two hot fields 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 adapter, 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. Nozzles for all applicable types of gas are included in the this
manual. A touch control panel is located in the front part of the hob (fig. 2). It is for controlling
and regulating the specific gas burners of the cooker. It also displays relevant messages of the hob
operating conditions.
