Please Keep This Manual for Future Reference
Guardian 2010 Model
Thank you for your purchase.
STOVE GUARD
is an electronic safety device for use with electric stoves. It turns the stove
OFF when you forget by using the advanced technology found in security monitoring devices and a specially
programmed microcontroller.
STOVE GUARD
controls the stove's electrical system to help prevent food and pots from burning, as well as reducing the
risk of fire caused by unattended cooking.
STOVE GUARD
is preset at the factory at the highest fire safety setting.
This is the recommended setting for use by anyone with Alzheimer’s or similar medical condition.
When properly installed, adjusted, and set in
AUTO
mode,
STOVE GUARD
will automatically shut the
electric stove OFF if no one is present in the monitored cooking area for a preset period of time.
Upon returning to the cooking area,
STOVE GUARD
will detect their presence and automatically turn the
stove ON again. The preset time will reset to the last setting.
STOVE GUARD
can also be used in a
TIMER
mode to set a maximum cooking time, after which the
stove will be automatically turned OFF.
IMPORTANT WARNING
In most situations the installation of STOVE GUARD does not require the use of a licensed Electrician. Read this manual
first to familiarize yourself before installing, hire a professional if you are uncomfortable with doing the installation
yourself.
Do not disassemble any of the components. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to a
qualified person only.
A licensed Electrician must install STOVE GUARD if the stove is presently hard -wired (not plugged
into an existing 4 Prong range wall outlet) or uses an outdated range wall outlet.
IMPORTANT TECHNICAL SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT INSTALL
the EMU (Electronic Monitoring Unit):
Directly above a heat source or where hot/cold air or steam will blow onto it.
On or above a microwave or toaster oven,
Directly on or above the stove.
STOVE GUARD must only be connected to a 220-240VAC grounded (4 prong) range wall outlet.
Do not allow grease to build up on the sensing unit. This will reduce STOVE GUARD's sensing range and possibly turn the
stove OFF even when someone is at the stove.
Clean the outer surface of the EMU with a clean, damp cloth only. Do not use soaps or cleaning liquids.
STOVE GUARD must be tested with the individual who requires this device and adjusted to their personal needs, as
well as adjusted to the home environment of use to ensure proper functioning. Additional fire safety devices; such as
smokedetectors & fire extinguishers must also be used to ensure complete cooking fire safety.
