-Because of the need to assure circulation of air, an air inlet grate should be installed in the skirting
of the cabinet fig. 4.
2.3 Gas supply system
-GPC-3 have a vertical connector pipe ending with an R1/2” outside thread (ISO 7-R1/2) for
connecting the hob to the gas supply system. It is recommended that the hob be connected to the
gas supply system with a flexible connecting hose with a safety certificate.
-If the hob is supplied by means of a flexible connecting hose, it is necessary to use an R ½ /G ½
screw-in/screw-on elbow. A cut-off valve must be installed in the system to stop the supply of gas
to the hob, as well as a gas filter preventing the nozzles from clogging due to polluted gas.
-If the hob is to be supplied with liquid gas from a gas cylinder, a ø10/R1/2” connector pipe is to
be screwed into the gas supply connector pipe, after removing the ½” nipple. A liquid gas
regulating valve needs to be installed on the cylinder valve. The regulating valve is connected
with the hob with a flexible hose for liquid gas (max. length 3 m) with clamps on both ends. The
regulating valve and the flexible hose must have safety certificates.
-The above activities, for the sake of the user’s safety, should be performed by an authorized gas
installation technician!
2.4. Electric system
The control system of the hob is supplied with 12 V direct current through a power supply. In
order to assure correct and safe operation of GPC-3 hobs, it is necessary to provide an electric
socket (230 V/50 Hz) close to the location of the stove in order to connect the hob’s power supply.
The electric socket should have a grounding bolt and cannot be located directly over the hob, at the
distance of less than 10 cm away from the side of the stove and at least 10 cm above the top plane
of the hob plate, away from the area affected by hot fumes exhausted in the back of the hob.
Moreover, it is necessary to provide properly ventilated place for the power supply. In other
places, a special cable to connect the hob with a 12 V DC system will provided on request.
3. USE OF THE HOB
3.1 The startup of the hob should be performed by an authorized technician in the buyer’s home.
The hob can be turned on after it is properly installed in the kitchen cabinet countertop, the type of
gas is verified, and it is connected to the gas and electric supply systems. After the hob is
connected to the gas supply system, it is necessary to check
i
if gas does not leak from the
connection.
If an exhaust hood is installed over the hob, then the minimum distance between the hood and the
ceramic plate of the hob may not be less than 750 mm. Before starting the hob, the ceramic plate
should be washed with soft cloth and soapy water or a cleaning agent. After the plate dries, the
burners can be ignited.
After the startup, due to the combustion of protective lubricants, it is necessary to ventilate the
room by opening the window or turning on the mechanical ventilation. This increases the air
exchange in the kitchen and allows the faulty smells to be removed.
Before the hob is started up and the individual burners are ignited, the following must done:
- put the supply cable plug of the power source into the socket of the power supply system and put
the low-voltage 12 V cable ending with a round plug in the hob supply socket. The socket is
located on the bottom of the hob.
- open the gas cut-off valve.
After the hob is connected to the electric system, it is ready for work, which is indicated by a diode
located next to the sensor.
-after the sensor of the main switch is touched with a finger, its indicator is turned off and the hob
is ready to receive instructions. For 5 seconds, all indicators show “0”. If we take no further steps,
