New in the US, patented gas-under-glass technology! It requires no special pots and the smooth ceramic glass surface is very easy to clean. This is the most popular model in our range. Its dimensions are 22 13/16 x 19 1/2 inches so it fits a standard 22 5/8 inches wide base cabinet or countertop. It's a perfect choice for family cooking. GPC-3 has three burners, one free heat zone and an integrated, fully electronic touch panel for simple and safe control. The free heat zone sits atop hot fumes channels and requires no gas intake. This gives you additional, free energy from exiting heat. Our patented catalytic burners sit right under ceramic glass and burn at about 1472°F, which is much higher than in regular cooktops' that means removal of retardant gas ingredients so, they don't leave greasy deposit on cookware and furniture. No open flame means lower risk of setting fire to your clothes or spilled oil. Even though there is no flame, the burners heat up fast (the hot heating zone changes color to red) and the heat-resistant ceramic glass panel remains strong at high temperatures. Mechanical and electronic safeguards provide double protection against gas leakage. GPC-3 is LPG convertible and in case of power shortages, the cooktop can be powered by an emergency power supply (optional). Cycle work means there are breaks in gas combustion and the still-hot burner gives off accumulated heat to the cooktop's heat zone, so as not to consume gas continuously. A combination of cycle work, minimal power consumption (comparable to a small light bulb) and higher temperature gas combustion results in gas consumption reduction by up to 50%* compared to traditional gas cooktops. Features like heat-resistant enamel coated vents, low voltage (12V) and quality of workmanship ensure reliability and years of trouble-free operation. After all, these cooktops have been produced and proven for over a decade! Virtually 100% gas combustion results in ten times less carbon monoxide in fumes makes the cooktop environment-friendly. 30-50% depending on how you use it. Generally, the longer the burners are on the bigger the savings! Product ID 83730677
