press the Sensor cover once during the pre-alarm signal. The
Sensor will learn that the situation was a normal cooking situ-
ation.
A Control Unit pre-alarm signal (sounds from behind the
cooker, lower sound), a short beep followed by a long break
(), tells that the Intelligent Timer will turn the cooker
o after one minute. By pressing the Sensor cover once, you
get more time to use the cooker.
If the Safety Lock has ‘locked’ the cooker, you can get it
back in use by pressing the Sensor cover once.
If the Sensor is removed from its mounting plate it will sound an
alarm and the cooker is turned off (Sensor Dislocation Alarm).
The cooker is reactivated by returning the Sensor back to its
mounting plate.

1.4 Stove Guard features
The Stove Guard safeguards the cooker in several dierent ways. The factory setting includes the
Overheating Monitor as specied in the EU standard: the Intelligent Heat Sensor, above the cooker,
detects dangerously high temperature and steep temperature rise. Automatic Fault Diagnosis en-
sures that the system is always working perfectly and if the Intelligent Heat Sensor is accidentally
removed, an alarm signals and cooker use is prevented.
Additional protection is provided by the Intelligent Timer: the Stove Guard intelligently monitors
hotplate heat adjustments, identifying if the cooker has been left abandoned. The Stove Guard can
also be used with external carbon monoxide/smoke alarms (compatible with most alarms).
If you are an owner of a traditional mechanical cooker, you can benet from the additional features
of Intelligent Timer+ helping to prevent burns and the automatic Safety Lock that prevents the
cooker from being turned on accidentally.
See more detailed information below.
Standard features (factory setting)
a) Overheating Monitor
The Intelligent Heat Sensor, installed above the cooker, reacts to a dangerously high tem-
perature or steep temperature rise. The Intelligent Heat Sensor includes heat sensors that
self-adjust according to the users’ cooking styles. This makes 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 prevention of re risk situations.
The Intelligent Heat Sensor will rst sound a pre-alarm signal (), after which the
cooker is turned o, and the Sensor starts to emit an alarm signal ( ). The In-
telligent Heat Sensor alarm signal stops automatically in 15 seconds.
When the Stove Guard is installed, it will rst go through an adjustment period, during which
it learns the user(s)’s way of cooking and the installation environment, adjusting its sensitivity
accordingly. During this time, some false alarms may be triggered. If the Stove Guard
signals in a normal cooking situation, press the Intelligent Heat Sensor cover once dur-
ing the pre-alarm signal. This will cause the Sensor to adjust its sensitivity slightly. The false
alarms may be triggered a few times before the Stove Guard has adjusted to the individual
setting.
The Intelligent Heat Sensor may interpret placing a hot oven tray on the cooker or removing a
pot from a hot hotplate as a hazardous situation and signal a short alarm.

STOVE GUARD SGK500 USER MANUAL

b) Automatic fault diagnosis
The automatic fault diagnosis ensures that the Stove Guard is working perfectly. The diag-
nostic 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 on its mounting plate. If the fault diag-
nosis detects something abnormal in the functioning of the system, the Control Unit will emit
a fault signal (a short signal, followed by a long signal ‘be-beep’, at approximately 5 second
intervals), and after a minute’s time, it will turn the cooker o.
If the fault diagnosis is signalling (the fault diagnosis alarm can trigger even though the cooker
is not in use), press the Intelligent Heat Sensor cover once during the rst minute of the alarm.
If this does not resolve the issue, double check that the Sensor is installed correctly and press
its cover once. If this does not reset the alarm, turn all cooker knobs to ‘0’ (not required in
cookers that are operated by touch), then turn the electricity supply o for 15 seconds using
the main switch or the cooker fuse. If the fault diagnosis alarm triggers again, contact the
product retailer. Meanwhile, the cooker can be used for 5 minutes as an ‘emergency use’ by
switching the power o for 15 seconds as described above.
c) Sensor Dislocation Alarm
The Sensor Dislocation Alarm ensures that the Intelligent Heat Sensor is not accidentally
removed from its location. If the Sensor is removed from its place, it sounds an alarm (four
signals) and the Control Unit disconnects the cooker electricity supply. The cooker electricity
supply is restored when the Sensor is returned back to its mounting plate.
Information about an activated Sensor Dislocation alarm can be transferred to a Telecare ser-
vice or another homecare provider.
If the Sensor cannot be returned, the alarm can be reset by switching the Control Unit power
o for a moment, using the main switch or the cooker fuse. The cooker can be used without
the Intelligent Heat Sensor for around 5 minutes after which it will be turned o again.

STOVE GUARD SGK500 USER MANUAL

Additional features available for all electric cookers
d) Intelligent Timer
The Intelligent Timer identies a burner that has been accidentally left on by monitoring burn-
er heat adjustments. If a burner has been left on, the cooker is turned o within a time period
between 1 hour and 3 hours, depending on the cooker type and the burner setting - the
higher the setting the sooner the cooker is turned o. The Intelligent Timer does not start if
the hotplate is on a low heat setting. Before the cooker is turned o, the Control Unit will emit
a one-minute long pre-alarm signal ( ). Resetting the pre-alarm signal will re-
start the Timer.
e) Audible Alarm Detection (smoke and carbon monoxide alarms)
The Stove Guard identies external (smoke and carbon monoxide) alarm signals using sound
detection. An alarm signal emitted by an external alarm triggers the Stove Guard to turn the
cooker o.
f) Intelligent Heat Sensor fault diagnosis
Works together with the standard fault diagnosis (point b), providing additional protection by
identifying if the Sensor has collected too much dirt or fat or is in some other way covered.
Extra features available for mechanical cookers
These features can be used in addition to all previously mentioned features. They are
available for cookers with mechanical knobs that do not have electronics. Usually these
types of cookers are traditional, free standing cookers with iron or ceramic plates, and
without a display (such as a clock). Halogen hobs with mechanical controls and no dis-
play also fall into this category.
g) Intelligent Timer+
Intelligent Timer+ offers upgraded protection for mechanical cookers identifying low-heat
hazard scenarios, that are unable to produce a re but can cause burns. The Timer+ follows
hotplate heat adjustments, similarly to the standard Intelligent Timer (described in point d)),
but it is also able to identify low heat hazard scenarios (eg. when a hotplate is on the lowest
setting). Intelligent Timer+ does not sound a pre-alarm signal prior to switching o the cooker.
h) Cooker knob Safety Lock
The Safety Lock ‘locks’ the cooker so that it cannot be turned on accidentally, by deactivating
the cooker knobs (in some cookers the oven knobs are not deactivated). The cooker is activat-
ed by pressing the Intelligent Heat Sensor cover once. The Control Unit emits two short beeps
as the cooker is ready for use. The cooker is ‘locked’ 20 minutes after last use.

1.5 Meaning of alarm signals
The Intelligent Heat Sensor signal is a high-tone beep, the Control Unit signal a lower
frequency ‘buzzing’ beep. The Intelligent Heat Sensor is attached above the cooker, the
Control Unit signal sounds from behind the cooker.
Sound Meaning Course of Action
Intelligent Heat
Sensor: 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 before the
cooker is turned off. If the alarm was trig-
gered by a normal cooking situation, press
the Intelligent Heat Sensor cover during the
pre-alarm signal – this will cause the Intel-
ligent Heat Sensor to reduce its sensitivity
automatically and will prevent the cooker
shutdown.
If the alarm was triggered
during a normal cooking situa-
tion, press the Intelligent Heat
Sensor cover once while the
pre-alarm signal sounds.
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 Monitor
alarm) – the cooker has been turned o.
First turn all cooker knobs to ‘0’,
then press the Intelligent Heat
Sensor cover once. In cookers
that are operated by touch just
press the Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor cover 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 cover
once during the pre-alarm signal, the cook-
er shutdown can be prevented.
Press the Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor cover once during the pre-
alarm signal.
Control Unit: a short
beep at approxi-
mately 5 second
intervals
The cooker has been turned o due to one
of Stove Guard’s safety features: the Sensor
detecting a high temperature or a steep
temperature rise, the Intelligent Timer de-
tecting an abandoned cooker, or triggered
by the alarm signal of an external (smoke or
carbon monoxide) alarm.
First turn all cooker knobs to ‘0’,
then press the Intelligent Heat
Sensor cover once. In cookers
that are operated by touch just
press the Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor cover once.

Since the automatic fault diagnosis tests the Stove Guard operation, only the Audible Alarm
Detection feature needs to be tested on a monthly basis (if activated). For the Audible Alarm
Detection test, refer to the chapter 5.2.
Clean the Intelligent Heat Sensor by wiping it with a cloth dampened with a mixture of house-
hold detergent and water. Only use a cloth that does not leave fibres. Do not immerse the de-
vice in water.
Ensure that all other alarms being used with the Stove Guard are cleaned and their batteries
changed according to their instructions.
Sound Meaning Course of Action
Control Unit: a short
beep and a long
beep (‘be’ – ‘beep’),
at 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 on its mounting plate, or if the Sensor
has not been installed correctly.
First turn all cooker knobs to
‘0’ (not required in cookers
that are operated by touch),
then turn o the electricity for
around 15 seconds, using the
main switch or the cooker fuse.

Heat Sensor is on its mounting
plate. 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 o
and the electricity reconnected to the
cooker.
The cooker can now be used.
Control Unit: a beep
every hour or half
hour
There has been an error in the identication
of the cooker.
Repeat the setup procedure as
described in chapter 9 under
the heading ‘the Control Unit
signals every hour or half hour’.
Intelligent Heat Sen-
sor (and the Control
Unit): a beep once a
minute
The Intelligent Heat Sensor has a low bat-
tery.
Replace the Sensor (see chap-
ter 9). Pressing the Sensor’s
cover once delays the battery
alarm for 12 hours.

6.1. Setting the Sensor sensitivity level manually
The sensitivity level determines the level of heat and the rate of temperature change required
to trigger an alarm.
If the Intelligent Heat Sensor is installed to a cooker hood that is higher than 65 cm (electric
burners), or if one wants to initially adjust the sensitivity to a certain level, set the sensitivity
level manually. After this the Sensor will go through the adjustment period as normal (see
chapter 1.4 a) Overheating Monitoring).
See recommended sensitivity level from the table below.
Electric burners sensitivity level. The grey area indicated in the table (30 – 65 cm) shows where
manual setting of the sensitivity level is not required (unless it is pre-adjusted to a certain lev-
el). The level is indicated by the numbers 1 to 16, where 1 represents the most sensitive level,
and 16, the least sensitive. The factory setting is 5.
When detaching the Intelligent Heat Sensor, the Sensor will emit four beeps (Sensor Dislo-
cation Alarm) and the cooker is turned o.
Setting the sensitivity level manually:
1. Put the battery disconnection piece into the hole on the bottom surface of the Sensor (2,
see image on page 9). Place the Sensor on a surface where the magnets stick (eg. a cook-
er) for about ve seconds. If the mounting plate is already attached you can put it on the
mounting plate.
2. Lift the Sensor up (the Sensor emits a beep). Remove the battery disconnection piece and
save it for possible later use. Press the cover once.
3. Press the Intelligent Heat Sensor cover for about 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
6. Changing settings manually
Safety Lock test (activated in mode 3b)
Make sure the hob is turned o. In approximately 20 minutes, the Safety Lock‘locks’ the cooker
by deactivating the cooker knobs (in some cookers the oven knobs are not deactivated). Test
the Safety Lock by trying to turn the burners on one by one.
Turn the Safety Lock o by pushing the Intelligent Heat Sensor cover once.
The Control Unit will emit two short beeps indicating that the electricity has been reconnect-
ed and the cooker can be used normally.

6.2 Stove Guard factory settings
The Stove Guard is returned to its factory settings upon changing to a new cooker, or if the Control
Unit is not acting as described in the user manual.
If you only want to return the factory settings for the Intelligent Heat Sensor, turn the cooker electric-
ity supply o (using the main switch or the cooker fuse) prior to carrying out the procedure. Return-
ing the factory settings does not inuence connection between the Control Unit and the Sensor.
1. Place the battery disconnection piece into the hole on the bottom surface of the Sensor (2, see
image on page 9). Place the Sensor on its mounting plate (or a surface where the magnets stick,
eg. a cooker), for ve seconds.
2. Remove the Sensor from the mounting plate and press the Sensor cover and hold it down until
you have heard three separate beeps. The Intelligent Heat Sensor will emit signals to signify that
its factory settings have been restored.
3. The Control Unit will restart and emits a beep. After approximately 30 seconds the Control Unit
will emit another beep. The Control Unit has now been returned to its factory settings (mode 1). If
you want to activate additional features go to chapter 5.
If you have lost the battery disconnection piece, you can alternatively use a screwdriver to carefully press
the button on the bottom surface of the Sensor (see image 4 on page 27). Before using the screwdriver,
open and remove the Sensor cover according to instructions (see chapter 3 ‘ Opening and closing the In-
telligent Heat Sensor cover’), to avoid pressing the cover switch simultaneously. After the procedure, close
the Sensor cover carefully, according to instructions.
