1.1 A quick guide
When the Stove Guard is signalling, press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-but-
ton once.
Also note that:
When the Intelligent Heat Sensor is emitting a pre-alarm signal, a short sound fol-
lowed by a long break (--____--____), it has identified a hazardous situation. If the
situation is not hazardous, press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once during
the pre-alarm signal. The Stove Guard will learn that this kind of a situation is a normal
cooking situation.
When the cooker has been turned o and the Stove Guard is signalling, rst turn all
cooker knobs to ‘0’, then press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once. In cook-
ers that are operated by touch, just press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button
once.

1.2 Structure of the Stove Guard
The Stove Guard is composed of an Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor, attached underneath the cooker hood, on the wall or
on the cooker panel, and a Control Unit, connected to the
cooker. With the additional Innohome Smart Socket, vari-
ous distance alarms, like ashing lights or vibrating alarms,
can be linked to the system. The Intelligent Heat Sensor, the
Control Unit and the Smart Socket communicate using a
radio connection.
The Stove Guard can also be used with gas and dual-fuel
cookers, with the additional gas installation kit, including
an electric valve that is tted into the cooker gas supply.
The Control Unit has an alarm output that enables the
Stove Guard to be linked to social alarm systems, such as
Telecare.
Distinguishing the Stove Guard type: Stove Guard SGK300-2 includes a Control Unit SGC500-2
with one blue connector, SGK300-3 includes a Control Unit SGC500-3 with two white connec-
tors.
1.3 Stove Guard use and features
Stove Guard use
When the cooker has been turned o and the Stove Guard is signalling, rst turn all cook-
er knobs to ‘0’, then press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once. In cookers that are
operated by touch, just press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once.
An intelligent Heat Sensor pre-alarm signal, that has a short sound and a long break
(--___--___ ), sounds one minute before turning the cooker o. If the situation is not hazard-
ous, press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once during the pre-alarm signal. The Intel-
ligent Heat Sensor will learn that the situation was not hazardous.
A Control Unit pre-alarm signal (sounds from behind the cooker), that has a short sound and
a long break (--___--___ ), indicates that the Intelligent Timer will turn the cooker o after one
minute’s time. By pressing the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once, you will get more
time to use the cooker.

Stove Guard features
a) Overheating Monitor
The Intelligent Heat Sensor, installed above the cooker, reacts to a dangerously high tempera-
ture or steep temperature rise. The Sensor’s self-adjusting technology ‘learns’ the users’ cook-
ing styles, making hazard recognition precise, with no false alarms. The rate of temperature
increase alarm is based on the steep temperature rise that happens when the cooking vessel’s
liquid has dried out. Reacting to the temperature rise allows for an early detection and preven-
tion of re risk situations.
The Intelligent Heat Sensor will rst sound a one minute-long pre-alarm signal (see Intelligent
Heat Sensor pre-alarm signal, on previous page), after which the cooker is turned o. Resetting
the pre-alarm signal causes the Intelligent Heat Sensor to become less sensitive.
The Intelligent Heat Sensor alarm is also reset automatically in about two minutes, after the
cooker has been turned o and the temperature starts to drop.
After automatic alarm reset, the cooker is turned back on normally: rst turn all cooker knobs
to ‘0’, then press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once. In cookers that are operated by
touch, the electricity supply is returned automatically (burners are o after the electricity cut-
o).
N.B. The Overheating Monitor alarm is not triggered if the hob’s temperature is too low for a
hazardous situation to be identified, or if the cooker automatically limits a temperature in-
crease. When the alarm has been reset manually it cannot be triggered by the rate of temper-
ature change for 30 minutes, but can still be triggered by the heat level. The Stove Guard is an
additional safety device that does not necessarily cover all possible hazardous situations, but
does signicantly improve cooker safety.
b) Intelligent Timer
Electric cookers: The Intelligent Timer identies a burner that has been accidentally left on by
monitoring burner heat adjustments. If a burner has been left on, the cooker is turned off
within a time period between 30 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the burner setting - the
higher the setting the sooner the cooker is turned o (in some cookers, the oven is not turned
o). Before the cooker is turned o, the Control Unit will emit a one-minute long pre-alarm
signal (see Control Unit pre-alarm signal, on previous page). Resetting the pre-alarm signal will
restart the Timer.
Note that in some cookers that are operated by touch or have a clock, and with the SGK300-3
model in all electric cookers, the Intelligent Timer does not necessarily start if the burner is on
a very low heat setting.

STOVE GUARD SGK300 USER MANUAL

Gas and dual-fuel cookers’ timer: The timer has a xed time and starts when the hob tempera-
ture starts to rise. The cooker is turned o after two hours (in some dual-fuel cookers the oven
is not turned o). Before the cooker is turned o, the Control Unit will emit a one-minute long
pre-alarm signal (see Control Unit pre-alarm signal on page 2). Resetting the pre-alarm signal
will give two hours more time.
c) Alarm Signal Detection (re, carbon monoxide and gas alarms)
The Stove Guard identies external (re, carbon monoxide or gas) alarm signals using sound
detection. An alarm signal emitted by an external alarm triggers the Stove Guard to turn the
cooker o (in some cookers the oven is not turned o).
d) Cooker knob Safety Lock
The Safety Lock can only be used with the SGK300-2 model and only on electric cookers with
mechanical knobs (excluding cookers with a clock). The Safety Lock ‘locks’ the cooker so that it
cannot be turned on accidentally, for example, by a child, a person with memory disorders, or
a pet. To use the cooker, press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once or turn one of the
cooker knobs on and o three times, at one second intervals (on, o – wait one second – on,
o – wait one second – on, o). The Control Unit emits two signals as the cooker is ready for
use. The Safety Lock feature can be activated or deactivated by carrying out the Control Unit
setup (see section 5).

Sound Meaning Course of Action
Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor: a short ‘beep’
every few seconds
The Intelligent Heat Sensor has identified
a high temperature or a steep temperature
rise above the cooker (Overheating Moni-
tor). This is the Intelligent Heat Sensor pre-
alarm signal, that is emitted one minute
before the cooker is turned off. Reset the
pre-alarm signal if it was triggered by a
normal cooking situation – this will cause
the Intelligent Heat Sensor to reduce its
sensitivity automatically and will prevent
the cooker shutdown.
Press the Intelligent Heat
Sensor push-button once
during the pre-alarm signal.
Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor: repetitive fast
‘beep, beep, beep’
The Intelligent Heat Sensor has identified
a high temperature or a steep temperature
rise above the cooker (Overheating Mon-
itor alarm) – the cooker has been turned
o.
First turn all cooker knobs to
‘0’, then press the Intelligent
Heat Sensor push-button
once. In cookers that are
operated by touch just press
the Intelligent Heat Sensor
push-button once.
Control Unit: a short
‘beep’ every few sec-
onds
This is the Control Unit pre-alarm signal,
that sounds for one minute before the
Intelligent Timer turns the cooker off.
By pressing the Intelligent Heat Sensor
push-button once during the pre-alarm
signal, the cooker shutdown can be pre-
vented.
Press the Intelligent Heat
Sensor push-button once
during the pre-alarm signal.
1.4 Meaning of alarm signals
The Intelligent Heat Sensor signal has a higher tone than the Control Unit signal. The Intelli-
gent Heat Sensor is attached above the cooker, the Control Unit signal sounds from behind
the cooker.

Sound Meaning Course of Action
Control Unit: a short
signal at approximate-
ly 5 second intervals
The cooker has been turned o due to the
Intelligent Timer function, detecting the
alarm signal of an external (smoke, carbon
monoxide or gas) alarm, or the Overheat-
ing Monitor detecting a dangerously high
temperature or a steep temperature rise.
First turn all cooker knobs to
‘0’, then press the Intelligent
Heat Sensor push-button
once. In cookers that are
operated by touch just press
the Intelligent Heat Sensor
push-button once.
Control Unit: a short
signal, followed by a
long signal (‘be-beep’),
at approximately 5
second intervals
The cooker has been turned o due to the
automatic fault diagnosis detecting a tem-
porary error in the Intelligent Heat Sensor’s
connection to the Control Unit or in the
functioning of a part of the system. The
automatic fault diagnosis alarm can also
be triggered by the Intelligent Heat Sensor
not being in its original installation loca-
tion, or if the Sensor has not been installed
correctly.
First turn all cooker knobs to
‘0’, then turn the electricity
off for around 15 seconds,
using the main switch. En-
sure that the Intelligent Heat
Sensor is in its original instal-
lation location. If the problem
persists, contact the product
retailer.
Control Unit: two short
beeps (after turning
the Safety Lock o)
The Safety Lock has been turned off and
the electricity reconnected to the cooker.
The cooker can now be used.
Control Unit: a signal
every hour or half hour
There has been an error in the identifica-
tion of the cooker.
Repeat the setup procedure
as described in section 11
under the heading ‘the Con-
trol Unit signals every hour or
half hour’.
Intelligent Heat Sensor
(and the Control Unit):
a signal once a minute
The Intelligent Heat Sensor has a low bat-
tery.
Replace the battery (see
section 3). Pushing the
push-button on the Intelli-
gent Heat Sensor once will
delay the battery alarm for 12
hours.

1.5. Automatic fault diagnosis
Electric cookers: The automatic fault diagnosis ensures that the Stove Guard is working per-
fectly each time the cooker is used for cooking (the diagnosis will not start if the cooker is only
used for a short period of time eg. to boil water). The diagnostic tool analyses the function of
the Intelligent Heat Sensor and the Control Unit, and the radio communication link between
the devices. The automatic fault diagnosis alarm can also be triggered by the Intelligent Heat
Sensor not being in its original installation location, or if the Sensor has not been installed cor-
rectly.
If the fault diagnosis detects something abnormal in the functioning of the system, the Con-
trol Unit will emit a fault signal (a short signal, followed by a long signal ‘be-beep’, at approxi-
mately 5 second intervals), and after a minute’s time, it will turn the cooker o.
If the fault diagnosis is signalling, press the Intelligent Heat Sensor push-button once during
the rst minute of the alarm. If the fault diagnosis alarm was triggered by a temporary glitch
or by the Intelligent Heat Sensor not being in its original installation location, the cooker shut-
down will be prevented and cooking can be continued normally. If the fault diagnosis alarm
was caused by an actual fault situation, the alarm cannot be reset and the cooker is turned o.
If the cooker has been turned o by the fault diagnosis (the Control Unit carries on signalling
the fault alarm signal), it can be turned back on by rst turning all cooker knobs to ‘0’, then by
turning the electricity supply o for 15 seconds, using the main switch. If the fault diagnosis
has detected a problem, rst make sure that the Intelligent Heat Sensor is in its original instal-
lation location. If the automatic fault diagnosis carries on detecting a problem, contact the
product retailer.
For gas/dual-fuel cookers: Refer to the gas kit manual.
1.6. Additional devices
With the Innohome Smart Sockets, additional signalling devices can be joined to the system.
Several additional signalling devices, such as ashing light or vibrating alarms, can be linked
and placed around the house.
The Control Unit has an external alarm output that enables the alarms to be transferred to so-
cial alarm systems, such as Telecare.
See more detailed information about using and installing additional devices from
