7. The Stove Guard did not give an alarm in a
dangerous situation.
It is possible that the temperature was not high
enough to be identified as a dangerous situation.
The Heat Sensor should take different cooking
situations into account, including high-temperature
cooking, and should not give an alarm too easily.
Therefore, the Stove Guard only emits an alarm
when a certain temperature (or rate of temperature
rise) is detected, but still long before a real risk
situation. However, it is important to check the Stove
Guard’s function (see the next sections).
ANSWER 1:
Make sure that the Sensor is correctly
installed. See page 6 and after.
ANSWER 2:
If the Sensor is properly installed, turn on
a hotplate and perform a function test, see page 13.
Make sure the Control Unit turns off the cooker. If
the function test fails, contact the retailer.
ANSWER 3:
When mounting lower than 90 cm above
the cooker, it is possible to change the sensitivity of
the Sensor, so it reacts earlier. Increase the sensitivi-
ty by one or two steps. See page 18.
8. I cancelled the pre-alarm by mistake, even
though the alarm was triggered by a dangerous
situation. Has the Sensor become too insensitive
now?
ANSWER:
Deactivating the pre-alarm changes the
sensitivity, but only to a small extent. This can
therefore be done a few times without the alarm
becoming insensitive.
9. I cannot turn on the cooker and the Control Unit
emits a ring tone almost continuously.
ANSWER:
The cooker is locked due to several repeat-
ed alarms for the maximum temperature. Unlock by
turning off the cooker's power from the fuse box for
15 seconds.
10. How to test the Stove Guard with an induction
cooker?
ANSWER:
You need an adapter plate that allows the
use of all cookware on an induction cooker (avail-
able from many retailers). Place the adapter plate
on a cooker and perform a heat test by turning on
the plate. This test is not absolutely necessary, as
potential problems are eventually solved by the
Auto-diagnostics.
Note!
The test is recommended when retrofitting the
cooker and ceiling-mounted Sensor.
11. The Heat Sensor gives an alarm when I make
coffee with an espresso pot.
The Heat Sensor gives an alarm when I make coffee
with an espresso pot. Espresso pots are often much
smaller than the hotplate, and the heat from the
plate makes the Stove Guard think there is a danger-
ous situation.
ANSWER:
Deactivate the alarm by pressing the Sen-
sor cover. The sensitivity level of the Sensor will not
change, as the espresso maker triggered an alarm
for maximum temperature that is not self-learning.
12. What do I do if the Sensor or Control Unit
must be replaced with a new one?
ANSWER:
Contact the retailer for a new part. When
replacing, pair the devices. See page 19.
13. Where can I find the Sensor model number?
ANSWER:
On the underside of the Sensor there is a
sticker with the model number.
