STOVE
GUARD
Sensor Unit (EMU) & Power Box Control |
Q.
Will my stove stick out from the wall with the unit in place?
A. No,the main control box is located behind the
stove,out of sight. It is designed to fit the area behind
the stove that will allow the stove to pushed back to the
wall. The only piece that you will see, is the small timer
control that may be mounted underneath the upper kitchen
cabinet. Stove Guard is very easy to install & use.
Q.
Where should I install the Stove Guard sensor unit?
A. In a position where it can view the
high-traffic area of your kitchen without being exposed
to a direct heat source. We recommend installing the EMU
sensor unit to the bottom of a kitchen upper cabinet or
on a wall next to the stove, never directly
above the stove.
Q.
Is Stove Guard user friendly?
A.
Stove Guard operates in easy to use 2 modes:
-
ON/AUTO
- allows the device to automatically shut the stove
off if the user is out of the sensing area longer than
the preprogrammed time. When the user returns, the stove
is turned on again automatically. Stove Guard will remember
the pre-programmed time. After a power outage,
Stove Guard will automatically turn itself
ON , in Auto Mode and shut off power to the stove 1
minute after it last detects motion.
-
ON/TIMER
- allows the stove to operate for a preset amount of
time. This mode is used when cooking a specific dish.
Once the set time is over, power to the stove is turned
off. This mode must be reset manually every time it
is used.
Q.
What time should I set my Stove Guard timer to?
A. The factory default setting is 1 minute, offering
maximum protection.The user can set the time to their particular
needs. Stove fires can ignite in as little as a few minutes.
Q.
Are the stove appliance outlets or receptacles controlled
by Stove Guard?
A. The stove receptacles are connected to one ground
and one phase that gives 115VAC. The stove heater is connected
to two phases (240VAC). If stove switch is ON the current
transformer installed on one of the two phases will be activated
and the device will start working.
The
same will happen with the stove receptacle; if one of two
phases with current transformer is connected to the receptacle
any power consumption from this receptacle will activate
Stove Guard. Different factories install different phases
to the receptacles, this means that Stove Guard will not
always be activated by the power receiver connected to the
stove receptacle.
Q.
I just installed Stove Guard and my stove's clock keeps
stopping.
A. Move the rocker switch
on the lower Power Box to the other position.
Q.
Will Stove Guard control the oven only?
A. Stove Guard is made to protect your surroundings
against a stovetop fire. Stove Guard also controls the oven
in both AUTO (motion detection up to 39mins.) and TIMER
(countdown up to 99mins.) modes.
Q.
If there is a power failure, will Stove Guard lose its memory
settings?
A. Stove Guard will Restart automatically &
revert to a one-minute default setting in AUTO Mode. If
the EMU's motion sensor detects no activity it will shut
down the stove after 1 minute.
