Stove Alarm
SA100
The Stove Alarm, attached to the cooker hood by magnets, signals if the stove overheats or an empty hotplate is
left on. The Alarm signals at a very early phase of a risk situation, before any damage occurs.
When an empty hotplate is left on or food dries out in a pan, the Stove Alarm signals after 3-30 minutes,
depending on the power of the hotplate.
How does the alarm work?
The Alarm functions by measuring temperature changes on the lower surface of the cooker hood. A quick change
in the temperature indicates stove overheating, which sets off the alarm before any damage occurs. The
temperature only changes quickly in hazardous situations: in normal cooking the temperature changes are slower
as the food and the pot together heat up more slowly than an empty hotplate or a pot dry of liquid.
The Stove Alarm is not triggered if the following situations:
–
the hotplate is left on in such a low heat that the environment isn’t heated enough for the alarm to identify a risk
situation
–
a thermostat or the automation of the stove limits the heating.
The Stove Alarm is an additional safety device that doesn’t necessarily cover all possible hazardous situations but
significantly improves stove safety.
Description of the Stove Alarm
The button on top of the Stove Alarm (1) resets the alarm and teaches the Stove Alarm the required level of
sensitivity. The signal light (3) is lit every minute when the Stove Alarm is on, or when pushing the button.
Unscrewing the screw on the top of the Alarm (2) opens it to change the battery. The Stove Alarm can be attached
to a plastic or aluminium cooker hood or to a wall, using the fitting provided (4).
Installation
1. Allow the Stove Alarm to adjust to room temperature by
letting it sit for about fifteen minutes in the room where it is
to be used before installation.
2. Remove the protective plastic slip from the bottom of the
Stove Alarm. The Alarm will emit a signal as the battery is
being connected.
3. Set the Stove Alarm on the bottom surface of the cooker hood, directly above the central point of the
hotplates if possible, but not close to a lamp. The distance between the stove and the Stove Alarm should
be approximately 50-65 cm. If the magnet doesn't hold the stove alarm in place. attach it with a screw and
double-sided tape, using the fitting. If there is no cooker hood the Stove Alarm should be attached to the
wall, approximately 60 cm above the stove.
