GAS COOKERS GPC, GPCB, GPCR AND GPCRB
SERVICE AND PARTS
CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES
1.1Functional Description
The GPC, GPCB, GPCR and GPCRB Gas Cookers all have a 12.7-gallon (48.1-liter) stainless steel cookpot. The water in the cookpot is heated by a high-efficiency infrared heating system that requires approximately 43% less energy than conventional burner systems to heat the same volume of water.
Two self-contained burners are located beneath the cookpot. Each burner is fitted with special ceramic tiles that are heated by the burning of a forced air/gas mixture. The tiles transfer their heat to the cookpot by means of infrared radiation, providing much more constant and uniform heat dispersion over the surface of the cookpot than do conventional burners. Because relatively less heat is lost to the atmosphere in the process, compared to “open-burner” designs, less fuel is required to achieve and maintain a given cookpot temperature.
Gas flow to both of the burners is regulated by one electromechanical gas valve.

Operational control of the burner system is accomplished through a solid-state SMS III Spaghetti Magic controller. NOTE: The SMS III controller used in this model series is identical in appearance to the SMS III controllers used in other model series, but differs internally. Use only the part numbers listed in Chapter 2 when replacing controllers on this equipment.
