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.

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.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR HOB INSTALLATION
All activities related to hob installation and connection to gas and electrical system
should be performed by a certified installer.
NOTE:
Before installing the hob and connecting it to the gas installation, make sure it is adapted
for the right type of gas supply and that this gas corresponds to the gas type given on the
hobs’s rating plate. (by default, cookers are adapted to G 20 gas). Otherwise, adapt the hob
through replacing the nozzles and air diaphragms with the types appropriate for the given
type of gas.
In case of any doubt as to the type of gas supplied via the network, please contact your gas
supplier.
Proceeding in such case is described in details under 5.2 of the instruction.
2.1. Requirements for rooms
The rooms designated for installing the cooker should be dry and airy, with efficient natural
ventilation.
2.2. Installation and assembly in furniture
All activities related to the assembly and connection of the stove to the gas and electric
systems must be performed by an authorized installation technician.
Assembly of the hob in kitchen countertops
Due to the large size of the hob it is not recommended to install it in the countertops of individual
kitchen cabinets. A composite kitchen countertop where the gas hob is to be installed must be
permanently fixed to the cabinets or permanently connected with other elements of the furniture. In
order to place the hob in the kitchen countertop or in a composite countertop, it is necessary to
make an opening in it with the following dimensions, depending on the type of the hob 540x310
mm. If the hob is to be installed over an oven, the opening where the hob is to be installed must be
symmetric.
If the hob is to be placed next to cabinets standing on the countertop or in the corner of the room,
the plate of the gas hob must be placed at least 150 mm away from the side of the cabinet or wall.
The way to install and fix a 2-burner hob is presented in the drawing.

REMARKS:
- Due to the height of the hob, it is impossible to install it over an oven in standard kitchen
cabinets.
- If the kitchen cabinet has a back wall, it is absolutely necessary to cut out ventilation openings in
it, as shown on the drawing.fig. 5,
- 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
1. GPC-2 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.
2. 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.
3. 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-2 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 be 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.
9
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 checkiif 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,
after a while the electronic system of the hob goes into a standby mode, the indicators are switched
off and the main switch sensor is turned on again.
- TIMER function, touch a burner selection filed twice (Fig.2, no 5 or 6), touch “+” and “-“ to
select time in minutes (from 1 to 99min.), the burner stops automatically after selected time
3.2. Switching on and setting the heating power of burners.
-NOTE!!!! - do not switch on the hob burners for a prolonged period without filled dishes put
on the hot fields first!!! Otherwise, your device might be damaged.
-When you choose any single burner by touching the controller activating field no 5, or 6, on
fig. 2 and set the power by touching the power setting slider, no 3 fig. 2, within a range
exceeding “0”, the selected burner will go on. This is supposed to happen within less than 5
seconds of enabling the controller via on/off sensor –item on fig. 2. If the delay is longer than
specified above, the burner will not start and the controller will switch to standby mode until
further instruction is received.
-All changes of controller program status are accompanied by short sound signals.
1. To start individual burners of the hob, make sure you do the following:
2.Put a filled dish on the relevant hot field.
3. Touch the on/off sensor no 9 fig. 2. “0” indicators will light up in fields 7, 8. If you touch
the sensor corresponding to the selected burner –fig. 2. again, as needed and as indicated on the
heating panel, you start the second stage of burner setting. Slide your finger along the setting slider
–no 3 on fig. 2 –to set the required power of the heating pad. At that time, the power setting
display –no 4 of fig. 2 –displays a row of diodes and a digital message shows in the previously
selected field, within the range of 0 to 9, showing the power value set. As the row of diodes
extends and the message number displayed increases, the burner power increases as well, and
opposite –if you slide your finger towards the key symbol, you will reduce the power setting. The
row of LEDs will simultaneously become shorter and the numbers displayed are lower, to finally
reach “0”. “9” corresponds to the maximum heating power of the burner, and “0” corresponds to
no power set.
4. After 1 to 3 seconds, the burner will start burning gas (the ceramic insert under the heating plate
will turn red when fully heated).
You may also vary the burner power in a different way. First activate the selected burner (fields
5, 6,of the controller) by touching any location within the power setting control field –no 3 on fig.
10
2. The activated burner’s power will change in increments, to reach the level corresponding to the
touching point. Set the power level using this method within not more than 5 seconds. After 5
seconds of completing the last change of pad power, the control pad of the controller will stop
receiving further instructions, and a new power value of the selected burner will be set as specified
in the preceding step.
Follow the same procedure with each burner.
You may touch the sensors described above at any time to set the desired heating power of burner,
in the range from 1 to 9.
After each change of the selected burner’s power setting, the row of LEDs will light up, then go
off after a short time, with only the modified power setting of the active burner being displayed.
When you have started all burners, their power settings are displayed accordingly and the LED
row –no 4. fig. 2 is off. Burners that have not been switched on in the relevant controller field
corresponding to the burner indicated on the panel will remain off and not light up.
If the burner heating power level is set from 1 to 9, the burner will operate in pulse mode,
meaning that when the burner is not burning gas (several to several tens of seconds in one
cycle), it re-circulates heat from incandescent hearth to heating pad of the ceramic panel, thus
achieving better gas intake efficiency.
At first (cold) run of burner(s), they heat up during several minutes, to switch to pulse
operating mode after that time, depending on the heating power settings.
-TIMER function, touch the burner selection fields twice (Fig.2, no 5,6,7 or 8), touch “+” and “-“
to select time in minutes (from 1 to 99 min.), the burner stops automatically after selected time
3.3. Description of operating condition with intelligent preheating function.
The hob operating status with reheating is a transitory condition for rapid achievement
of target temperature of the active hot field, up to the heating power set. It is signaled by the
decimal point lighting up next to the active burner’s digital indicator (5,6, fig 2).
1. If any level of heating power is set for the given hot field, the controller display will show a
number corresponding to the power setting. With this setting, the operating condition with
automatic reheating function will start automatically. This status is additionally signaled by
decimal point on the display corresponding to the given hot field. It takes up to 18 minutes,
depending on the power setting. Then, the hob’s controller switches to automatic heating cycles.
2. You can change the heating power level of the selected sensor while working with automatic
preheating function using the corresponding sensor and following the procedure described above
under. 3.2.
3. The automatic preheat operating mode of the given burner is automatically controlled by
an electronic system. The user can switch off the function by sliding the finger to “0” power
level and then immediately to any chosen power level (from 1 to 9)
3.4. Switching off the burners.
In order to switch off any of the operating burners, touch the corresponding sensor, then slide
your finger along the slider towards the “key” so that to reduce the burner’s power setting to “0”
(gas supply shutdown). During this operation, the row of LEDs (no 4 fig. 2) showing the power
level goes down and the digits decrease from the level previously set to level “0”. When level “0”
is reached and the controller is ready for restarting, the letter “H” will display after a moment,
indicating that the panel is hot in the location of the burner that has just been shut down.
You may also switch off the entire hob. To do so, touch the main shutdown switch sensor, or
press and hold the power setting slider around zero power for some time, having previously
11
activated the selected sensor for switching down the burner.
All working burners will go off and those just shut down will display the letter “H”.
3.5. Switching the controller lock on and off.
The purpose of controller lock is to secure the hob’s electronic system against accidental
startup or changing the power setting of active burner.
To avoid unauthorized activation (e.g. by a child, a drop of water, or an item being placed on a
working controller), switching off or changing heating power settings of burner(s), use the
controller lock as follows:
-touch the sensor /key/ with your finger –no 1 fig. 2 at least twice in 2 seconds’ time. When
pressed shortly twice, the controller will be locked,
-signaling LED lighting up and a sound signal no 2 fig. 2 indicating the controller lock status, a
long sound signal will be heard simultaneously. The hob controller does not respond to any
instructions except for lock status change.
Proceed in a similar way to deactivate the lock status:
- touch the sensor with your finger (no 1 fig. 2) twice within up to 2 seconds,
-the signal LED (no 2 fig. 2) goes off, the lock is off, and a sound signal is emitted.
3.6. Residual heat indicator.
After a hot field is shut down, it remains hot for a certain time, and the “H” message is
displayed. The above applies to all operating burners being shut down.
Do not touch the hot fields during that time, and do not place heat-
sensitive items on the hot fields, to avoid the risk of burning!
When this indicator goes off, you may safely touch the heating pad.
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 pots that must have:
-diameter similar to hot field size,
-flat bottom of appropriate thickness, min. 4 to 6 mm for stainless steel
dishes.
In addition, the pots 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.
12
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.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HOB
REMARK: All the activities related to the cleaning of the ceramic plate must be performed
after the plate cools down to an ambient temperature.
4.1 Cleaning the ceramic plate
When cleaning the ceramic plate, it is necessary to follow the same rules as those for cleaning glass
surfaces. Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents, scrubbing sand, or sponges with
scratchy surfaces. Using such materials can cause irreparable scratches on the surface of the
ceramic plate.
4.2 Cleaning after each use
- Slight, not-scorched stains should be wiped off with a damp cloth without a cleaning agent.
Using dishwashing liquid may cause bluish discoloration. These persistent stains cannot always be
used at first try, even using a special cleaning agent.
- Sticky stains should be removed with a sharp scrubber. The surface should then be wiped with a
damp cloth with special protective agent.
Removing stains
Light stains, with a pearly color (aluminum residue) can be removed from a cold ceramic plate
with a special cleaning agent. Calcium residues (caused, e.g. by boiling water) can be removed
with vinegar or a special cleaning agent.
When removing sugar, food leavings containing sugar, plastics, or aluminum sheet, one must not
turn off a given heating field! It is necessary to immediately precisely scrape off the leaving (while
they are hot) with a sharp scraper from a hot heating field. After the stain is removed, one may
turn off the stove and clean the cooled ceramic plate with a special cleaning agent.
A cleaning agent must never be applied on a hot ceramic plate
- Cleaning of the hob grids
1.The fume exhaust grids should be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little dishwashing liquid, and
then wiped dry with a cloth.
2.It is not allowed to use abrasive or acidic cleaning agents to clean glass and decorative metal
parts
3.Cleaning should be performed only after the surface to be cleaned is cooled off, the same as in
the case of the ceramic plate.
4.A fume outlet made from enameled steel should be cleaned with sponge, after it cools off.
We take no responsibility for guarantee claims if the ceramic panel of cooker is not
operated properly.
Warning!
If you notice any cracks on the panel’s heating pads, shut down the cooker
immediately and call service.
4.3 Control and supervision over gas, electrical and ventilation systems
To ensure proper and safe operation of your hob, please check the condition of the gas,
electrical and ventilation systems. The scope of inspection should cover:
-checking the technical condition of the aforementioned systems,
notifying the building administrator of any doubt concerning the technical condition of these
installations
14
5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
5.1. General.
Activities related to hob installation, connection to gas and electrical systems and adjusting
hob burners to a different type of gas can only be carried out by a properly trained and
certified worker.
Upon completion of the aforementioned activities, the installer must acknowledge their
completion (list of activities, date, signature and company seal) in the hob guarantee card, which
is the basis for retaining guarantee and warranty rights for the hob. Otherwise, your guarantee
will be voided.
Before commencing hob installation and connection to the gas and electrical systems, the
installer must make sure that:
-the room in which the hob will be used conforms to the requirements of standards (size,
dimensions, location of hob),
the gas and electrical installations are built in accordance with valid standards and regulations
Note:
After installing the hob, the installer must carry out initial startup. During initial startup,
squealing can be heard at combustion gas outlet. This is normal, caused by gas feeding to gas tubes
and burner. It will disappear after first startup.
5.2. Adapting the hob for different type of gas
If the hob needs to be adjusted to a different type of gas than the standard one replace gas
nozzles in all burners with items appropriate for the given type of gas, according to list of nozzles
in the Technical Specifications of these Operating Instructions ( 1.2) and set the volume of input air
with a diaphragm, setting the gap for dimensions as specified in Table 3.
Nozzles can only be replaced by an trained installer

If the hob is operated in accordance with these instructions, cleaned and maintained according
to the description presented in clause 4., - then a hob that works properly does not require
inspection.
6. HANDLING DEFECTS –error signaling
Please read the following guidelines before calling the manufacturer’s service technician:
-The reheating hot area heats up but does not glow during operation of the hob.
-Regular bursting noise of spark generator and valve can be heard while starting up the heating
pad before gas is lit.
-Individual hot field may glow with varying power.
These occurrences and sounds are normal in an operating hob.
The burner located under the hot field controls its temperature through switching on and off.
When low heating power setting is chosen for the hot field, the burner will go off for a longer time,
or for a shorter time in case of higher heating power, accordingly.
In case of gas pressure drop in the network or cylinder, the hob will be automatically locked. This
is signaled by the letter “G”.
7. CONTROLLER ALARM CONDITIONS SIGNALING
Alarm messages may display as a result of faults in hob operation, or gas shortage in network.
