The Stove Guard safety device has been developed for use in electric cookers to minimise kitchen fires. It has a heat sensor that monitors rapid increase in temperature on electric hob cooking surfaces.
If the temperature reaches a potential hazardous level, the alarm will sound an alert and, if no action is taken, will automatically send a radio signal to a wired cut-off switch to turn off the electricity supply to the appliance.
It also has the ability to recognise smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm signals from other nearby detectors, and will cut off the appliances electricity supply.
