The Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard is easy to use. It includes two types of heat sensors which have a unique learning function and measure excessive temperatures, rate of temperature change and ambient temperature. This means it reacts to cooktop fire risk indicators earlier than other cooker safety devices and gives a pre-alarm in the case of a potentially dangerous situation. If the warning is not acknowledged, the Stove Guard alarms and the control unit cuts off the cooker power supply, helping to dramatically reduce the number of accidental house fires.

The device works silently in the background and adjusts its sensitivity level based on the kitchen and user’s cooking styles so that false alarms do not disturb the cooking.
