Guardian 2010 Cooktop Model - August 2011
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 of one minute.
Most Home Care Workers will set the Auto Timer to 5-7 minutes maximum.
This is the recommended setting for use by anyone with Alzheimer's or similar medical conditions.
When properly installed, adjusted, and set in AUTO mode, STOVE GUARD will automatically shut the
electric cooktop 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 the preset time
is reached, the stove will be turned OFF. The TIMER setting may be used to cook food for a preset time.
In Timer mode the Motion Sensor will not monitor the cooking area.
Installation of the STOVE GUARD COOKTOP Model requires a licensed Electrician to be wired properly according to
local electrical codes.
Do not disassemble any of the components. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to a qualified person
only.
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;
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 present in the kitchen.
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
smoke detectors and fire extinguishers must also be used to ensure complete cooking fire safety.
