SONA enhances protection with new stove guard

SONA, part of Sprue Safety Products, has extended its advanced range of alarms with the launch of an innovative safety device that shuts off cookers before fire.

The SONA Stove Guard has been specifically developed for use in electric cookers to minimise kitchen fires, where 62 per cent of all domestic household fires originate. The new safety device has an intelligent heat sensor that monitors rapid increase in temperature on electric hob cooking surfaces.

If the temperature reaches a potential hazardous level, the alarm will sound an alert and, if no action is taken, will automatically send a radio signal to a wired cut-off switch to turn off the electricity supply to the appliance, minimising the risk of a potential serious fire incident.

The SONA Stove Guard also has the ability to recognise smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm signals from other nearby detectors, and will cut off the appliances electricity supply to further enhance safety levels.

The new safety device boasts an Intelligent Timer that senses if the electric hob has been left on accidentally and will cut off the power supply after 30 minutes through to three hours depending on individual requirements. The self-learning functionality of the alarm is able to base its sensitivity on the users’ cooking style.

The appliance is simply reactivated with a simple push of a button accessible by adults. In addition, an intelligent heat sensor dislocation alarm prevents use of the cooker if the sensor has been removed from its location.

Jeremy Roberts, Trade Sales Director at SONA, said: “With more than 60 per cent of fires occurring in the kitchen, it’s vitally important that specifiers and installers have access to safety devices that can prevent potential kitchen fire incidents without the need for human intervention.

“The introduction of the SONA Stove Guard offers real advantages to older and vulnerable residents, who may be more likely to forget that something is cooking on the hob and to any student accommodation where kitchen fires can be more common place.”
