Gas-on-glass

Similar sensor were used on giant tank ships transporting petroleum. It is an extraordinarily dangerous and high temperature-sensitive cargo, therefore it was decided its condition should be monitored constantly. This is how our sensor’s ancestor was born, which was attached to metal petroleum barrels. It monitored their temperature on a current basis and in case of a danger would set off the alarm. The sensor was capable of measuring temperature as many as a few hundred times per second, therefore it is precise enough even for such responsible tasks. Similar use, albeit in primitive form, was found in Japanese kitchens. In 21st century Japan was still grappling with the problem of frequent kitchen fires. The country was haunted by frequent fires due earthquakes and cooking on deep fat. In 2010 alone 5,000 fires broke out. In order to ensure safety, Japanese government put very simple temperature sensors in place. They would monitor pot’s temperature at all times and recognize the moment oil sets on fire if someone during evacuation forgot about their unfinished dinner on the stove. They would simply cut off the gas once temperature reaches certain point. The results were terrific. Within 2 years alone the number of accidents declined by 20%. Those technologies, among others, inspired us to create sensor in SOLGAZ GNC 4-AUTO gas hob. Our solution still puts safety in the first place. The hob ensures our safety the entire time. Whenever it notices that temperature is rising to the point that could spark off fire of oil or cause the pot to melt – it will automatically turn the burner off a dozen or so seconds in advance. It will proceed the same way if you e.g. forget about your soup and waters boils dry. A cooker left unattended will never pose danger anymore thanks to such safety measures. What is more, the sensor in SOLGAZ GNC 4-AUTO set makes life easier for everyone. It constantly monitors the temperature inside the pot and allows you to keep the hob at the temperature you want.

GNC 4-AUTO can cook automatically. Just set the temperature for it to maintain and… this is it. The hob will increase it, decrease it and if needed, it will turn burner off so that temperature is spot on. You will no longer have to worry about something burning or boiling over.

For many years we have been working towards solutions no one else in the world can design. We have also been pioneers in the field of electronic gas control since the very beginning. Now it is no different. The GNC 4-AUTO model uses our protected-by-patent electro valves which are capable of dosing gas with an accuracy of a hundredth of a millimetre. As a result the appliance features exactly 25 power levels – the amount ensuring full control. Less power levels is without question insufficient, which can confirm any person who cooked pancakes at least once. When the flame is too small, the dough boils and if too big – it burns. With our cookers such issues will never occur.

Booster increases power of a burner for a moment, which will come in handy when time is of the essence, for instance when you are cooking potatoes for dinner. The hob will boil water quickly when on full power and then return to its previous setting. This way you save time and swiftly prepare your signature dish. Imagine you are in the middle of preparing a three-course meal for your family. There is a soup boiling in one pot, sauce bubbling in another, meat is frying on a pan and milk for dessert is heating up in a saucepan. It might be challenging to get it all under control. And what if suddenly you have to leave to pick up the phone or get a package? Press ``Pause``. All burners will instantly turn off and when you get back, you will retrieve the exact same settings under each one of them by a single press of a button. Thanks to the ``Pause`` feature a break in cooking has never been so easy. Timer will turn off a burner automatically after given time. You no longer have to remember to get up to turn the stove off or to stare at the timer to get a perfect soft-boiled egg. SOLGAZ GNC 4-AUTO will do it for you.

GNC 4-AUTO is a model that makes gas cooking safer than ever. Once the hob is informed on irregularities, it will display a message on the control panel. Sensors are designed in a way that once temperature inside the pot exceeds 240°C, the entire appliance will shut down. It is the oil flash point and this is what this hob will protect you against. Lock is a feature that allows to prevent the entire appliance from being turned on accidentally e.g. by children, something impossible in appliances with conventional valves. In case wind blows the flame out, the hob will turn it on again. If something spills or boils over on the glass surface, the appliance will shut itself down. It will also display a proper letter when for instance pressure is too low or there is no gas. There is also a residual heat indicator on the display. It will let you know which burner is still hot after cooking and protect you from touching it accidentally.
