1.1 Structure of the safety system
1. Innohome safety system and its use
The Innohome cooker safety system is composed of a Stove Alarm, a Stove Guard, and an optional Wireless Alarm Receiver
TM13. The Stove Alarm, the Stove Guard and the Wireless Alarm Receiver communicate using a radio connection. Using
Wireless Alarm Receivers, the alarm can be transmitted to several rooms. Both the Stove Guard and the Stove Alarm have
individual safety features which are described in section 1.2.
The Stove Alarm emits a warning signal if the cooker becomes too hot or if an empty hotplate is left on. The alarm is transmitted
to the Stove Guard which cuts off the gas/electricity supply to the cooker. The alarm is also transmitted to Wireless
Alarm Receivers TM13 (optional).
The Stove Alarm is attached to the range hood with magnets, or on the wall, approximately 16” (40 cm) above the cooker.
The push button on the Stove Alarm is used for various functions (see section 2.2.). The light will light up at one minute intervals
whenever the Stove Alarm is on.
The Stove Guard is installed between the cooker and the mains electricity supply. For gas cookers, the Stove Guard is plugged
into a socket near the gas cooker, and an electrical valve (available as an accessory), controlled by the Stove Guard, is installed
in the gas supply. The Stove Guard has an alarm output that allows it to be linked to other alarm systems.
The Wireless Alarm Receiver TM13 is an additional safety device (available separately) that is especially useful for persons
with visual or hearing impairments, or with memory or cognitive disorders. Using the Wireless Alarm Receiver, the alarm is
transferred to additional signalling devices such as flashing lights or vibrating alarms.
1.2 Features and their use
a) Hotplate Monitoring
The Stove Alarm measures temperature and temperature changes above the cooker. The Hotplate Monitoring alarm is triggered
if the temperature change is faster than in normal cooking or if the overall temperature exceeds safe levels.
The alarm is triggered in 3 to 25 minutes. A warning signal is emitted one minute before the actual alarm starts. By responding
to this warning signal, you can cancel the alarm.
If the warning signal is not reset, the Stove Alarm will emit an alarm signal and transmit the signal to the Stove Guard. The
Stove Guard will then cut off the gas/electricity supply to the cooker.

1. Innohome safety system and its use (continued)
a) Hotplate Monitoring (continued)
Both the warning signal and the Hotplate Monitoring alarm signal are reset by either pressing the Stove Alarm button
TWICE if the alarm was triggered by a hazardous situation (memory rule ‘thank you’) or ONCE if the alarm was triggered
falsely by a normal cooking situation (memory rule ‘no’). At the beginning of product use, the sensitivity level of the Stove
Alarm needs to adjust to the user’s cooker. This may result in false alarms at first. The Stove Alarm responds to the user’s
indication of a false alarm by adjusting the sensitivity level automatically.
Please note that the Hotplate Monitoring alarm is not triggered if the temperature of the hotplate is not high enough for
the Stove Alarm to identify a hazardous situation or if the cooker automatically limits the increase in temperature. The
Stove Alarm is an additional safety device that does not necessarily cover all possible hazardous situations, but that significantly
improves the safety of the cooker.
b) Intelligent Timer
The Intelligent Timer identifies when the cooker has been left on accidentally. The timer starts automatically when a hotplate
is turned on. If the power is not adjusted, as it would be during cooking, the Stove Guard cuts the gas/electricity supply
to the cooker. The cut off time is determined by the amount of energy used by the hotplates: the higher the power setting
the faster the gas/electricity supply to the hotplate is cut off. The cut off time varies from half an hour to two and a half
hours. The Intelligent Timer is designed to react only in hazardous situations. The power will not be cut off during cooking,
even when the cooker is used for an extended period of time.
When the power is cut off by the Intelligent Timer, the Stove Guard starts to emit an alarm signal. Turn off the cooker hobs
and restore the power connection by pressing the Stove Alarm button once.
Note: For some cookers with an electronic user interface, the Intelligent Timer will not start when a hotplate is turned on at
a very low heat. This is because these cookers have a high standby energy consumption rate.
c) Alarm Signal Detection (fire, carbon monoxide and gas alarms)
When the Stove Guard detects an alarm signal from an additional fire, carbon monoxide or gas alarm, the Stove Guard cuts
the gas/electricity supply to the cooker. The Stove Guard is factory set to identify most fire/CO/gas alarm signals.
When the power is cut off due to Alarm Signal Detection, the Stove Guard starts to emit a signal. Reconnect the power by
pressing the Stove Alarm button once.
The Alarm Signal Detection can be deactivated using the jumper on the Stove Alarm (see section 5. Options).
All fire/CO/gas alarms should be located within 16.5ft (5 metres) of the Stove Guard to ensure accurate detection.

d) Cooker knob Safety Lock
The cooker knob Safety Lock makes sure that the hotplates are not turned on accidentally. This greatly reduces the likelihood
of hazardous situations caused by children, pets, or people with memory/cognitive disorders. The Safety Lock can only be
used on electrical cookers with mechanical knobs.
When the Safety Lock feature is in use, the electricity supply to the hotplates is cut off approximately 20 minutes after stopping
using the hotplates.
The electricity is reconnected by pushing the Stove Alarm button once or by turning one of the cooker knobs on and off
three times at one second intervals (turn on, turn off - wait 1 sec. - turn on, turn off - wait 1 sec. - turn on, turn off). The
Stove Guard will emit a signal as the electricity is reconnected.
The Safety Lock feature is activated and deactivated during the Stove Guard set-up (see section 6.).

2.1 Resetting the Hotplate Monitor alarm (continued)
After the Stove Alarm is installed, it needs to be ‘taught’ not to react in normal cooking situations. If the Alarm signalled in
a hazardous situation, reset it by pressing the Stove Alarm button TWICE (memory rule “Thank you”). If the Stove Alarm
starts to signal in a normal cooking situation, reset the alarm by pressing the button ONCE (memory rule “No”).
Thus the manner in which the Stove Alarm is reset adjusts its sensitivity accordingly.
Please note that for 30 minutes following an alarm, the Stove Alarm will only react if the maximum temperature is exceeded,
and will not respond to the rate of temperature change.
2.2 Functions of the Stove Alarm button
Push the button (1) on top of the Stove Alarm for the following functions:
• Reset the alarm and reconnect the power to the cooker (when the Alarm is signalling):
Wrong alarm: Press the push button once
Correct alarm: Press the push button twice
• Turn the Safety Lock off to use the cooker: Press the
push button once
• Reconnect the power to the cooker when the Stove
Guard is signalling: Press the push button once
• Do a test alarm: Press the button until you hear a signal
The screw (2) on the bottom of the alarm opens the cover for
changing the battery.
The light (3) will light up at one minute intervals whenever the
Stove Alarm is on.

4. The sensitivity level. The sensitivity level is factory set to suit most
installations. If this level is unsuitable for your cooker and results in false
alarms, the Stove Alarm will automatically adjust the sensitivity level according
to your response to the alarm (see section 2.1.). However, if the
installation height is different from the usual 20-23.5” (50-60 cm) when
installed under the cooker hood, the sensitivity level may need to be
manually adjusted (see section 9).

6. Stove Guard Installation
If the cooker is connected to the mains electricity via a plug and socket, the Stove Guard can be installed by the user.
Otherwise, the installation needs to be carried out by a qualified electrician.
1. Installation
Turn the electricity off at the mains switch. Attach the Stove Guard to the wall using screws, near
the electricity outlet. Installation by user: connect the Stove Guard between the cooker’s plug
and the socket. Installation by an electrician: connect the Stove Guard to the socket using an Innohome
socket with a connector or an Innohome connection cable.
2. Start the Set-up procedure
(Make sure the mains switch is turned off first). Turn the electricity on at the mains switch. Wait
for 5 seconds and turn the electricity off. Wait for 15 seconds and turn it on again.
Once the Stove Guard is connected to the electricity it will emit a signal. This means that the user
now has 20 seconds to carry out the set-up procedure. The Stove Guard will emit another signal
20 seconds later.
3. Stove Guard Set-up procedure
Choose the correct set-up procedure from the following options:
• A cooker with electric dials/ a gas cooker: No set-up procedure needed. Wait until you
hear a signal to signify the end of the 20 second set-up time, then continue to step 4.
• An electrical cooker with mechanical knobs:
• If you wish to use the Safety Lock function: Turn any of the hotplates on for 5
seconds, then turn it off. Wait until you hear a signal to signify the end of the 20
second set-up time, then continue to step 4.
• Safety Lock disabled: Turn a hotplate on, wait until you hear a beep from the
Stove Guard, then turn it off. Then continue to step 4.

7. Testing after Installation
7.1 Stove Alarm test
Turn the largest hotplate up to its maximum heat. The Stove Alarm will signal in 3-10 minutes and as a result, the Stove
Guard will cut the gas/electricity supply to the cooker. To reconnect the gas/electricity, first make sure that all the hotplates
are turned off (cookers with mechanical knobs only). Reset the alarm by pushing the Stove Alarm button twice. If the Stove
Alarm does not respond to the test adjust the sensitivity level manually, see section 9.
If you want to repeat this test, please wait for 30 minutes before trying again as the Stove Alarm needs to return to room
temperature before re-testing.
7.2 Alarm Signal Detection test
Turn the smallest hotplate to medium heat and make test alarms with fire, carbon monoxide and gas alarms, one at a time.
When detecting an alarm signal the Stove Guard will cut the gas/electricity supply to the cooker and emit a repetitive signal.
Reconnect the gas/electricity by pushing the Stove Alarm button once.
7.3 Safety Lock test (if activated during the installation)
Make sure all the hotplates are turned off. The Safety Lock will activate in 20 minutes and the electricity to the hotplates will
be switched off. Test the Safety Lock by trying to turn the hotplates on one by one.
Reset the Safety Lock by pushing the Stove Alarm button once or turn one of the cooker knobs on and off three times at one
second intervals (turn on, turn off - wait 1 sec. - turn on, turn off - wait 1 sec. - turn on, turn off).
The Guard will emit two signals after a short pause, indicating that the electricity has been reconnected.
8. Checking the Stove Guard settings
The Stove Guard settings can be checked by turning the power of the cooker off using the mains switch and turning it back
on after 15 seconds. The Stove Guard will then emit signals to inform you about its settings.

9. Setting the sensitivity level of the Stove Alarm
The sensitivity level determines the rate of temperature change required to activate the Stove Alarm.
The Stove Alarm responds to the user indicating a false alarm (see section 2.1.) by adjusting the sensitivity level automatically.
If the Stove Alarm does not respond correctly to the test situation described in section 7.1., the sensitivity level needs
to be manually adjusted to a more sensitive level. The level is indicated by the numbers 1 to 16, where 1 represents the
most sensitive level, and 16, the least sensitive level. The factory setting is 5. As a first step, adjust the sensitivity level to 4
and then carry out the test again. Optionally, the Stove Alarm may also be moved closer to the cooker (see diagram below).

10. Wireless Alarm Receiver TM13
The Wireless Alarm Receiver TM13 is a radio controlled socket that receives an RF signal sent by the Stove Alarm. The RF
signal is sent during the Hotplate Monitoring warning signal. The Wireless Alarm Receiver will then activate any device that is
connected to it, such as a flashing light or a vibrating alarm.
The Stove Alarm and the Wireless Alarm Receiver communicate using X.10 technology. The communication link between
the Stove Alarm and the Wireless Alarm Receiver starts automatically. However, if you already have devices that use X.10
technology, or if, for example, the Wireless Alarm Receiver responds to your neighbour’s Stove Alarm, the house address of
the Wireless Alarm Receiver TM13 needs to be changed manually.
10.1 Setting the address of the TM13 manually
The factory setting of the house address is ‘A’. The Unit address for the Stove Alarm is always ‘1’. Set different addresses for
devices that you do not want to communicate with each other.
Setting the address
1. Hold the button on the Stove Alarm for about 10 seconds and wait for two signals
2. Press the Stove Alarm button for one second and wait for a signal
3. Press the Stove Alarm button as many times as the appropriate
address (1:A, 2:B … 16:P) Wait for the light to go off between each
button press
4. Set the dial on the TM13 to match the correct house address (1:A,
2:B … 16:P), see the picture above
11. Alarm output
The alarm output is a 3.5mm stereo jack found on the Stove Guard. The alarm output is a ‘normally open’ type (opto) and it
closes for one second when the Stove Guard cuts the gas or electricity supply.
If the alarm output does not work properly, change the
polarity of the cable connecting to the alarm output.

12. Troubleshooting
The Alarm sounds in a non-hazardous situation
• After the Stove Alarm is installed, it needs to be ‘taught’ not to react in normal cooking situations. If the Stove Alarm
starts to signal in a normal cooking situation, reset the alarm by pressing the button ONCE (memory rule “No”).
The Stove Alarm test failed (section 7.1.)
• Set the sensitivity level to a lower number (see ‘Setting the sensitivity level’ section 9.).
• If the Alarm neither emits a signal nor flashes its light when the button is pressed, the battery may be empty. To
change the battery, open the case by unscrewing the screw (2, see picture in section 5.). Use CR2016 type batteries.
• If the device still does not work, contact the retailer.
The Stove Guard signals every half an hour or hour
• Repeat the installation set-up procedure. See section 6.
The Stove Guard did not identify the alarm signal of the fire/CO/gas alarm
• Clean the alarm with a vacuum cleaner.
• Change the batteries in the alarm if necessary.
• Check that the alarm is not located too far from the Stove Guard. The
alarms should be located at a maximum distance of 16.5ft (5 metres).
• Adjust the signal recognition frequency using the trimmer on the Stove
Guard (frequency adjustment, see the picture). Turn the trimmer slowly
between tests until the Stove Guard identifies the signal.
Frequency adjustment
The Stove Guard responds to other sounds e.g. a telephone ringing or noise from a television
• Change the telephone’s ring tone or turn down the volume of the television. It is also possible to disable the Alarm
Signal Detection feature, see section 5. ‘Options’.
The Safety Lock did not activate within 20 minutes
• Check the setting of the Stove Guard as advised in section 8. If the Safety Lock was not activated, redo the set-up process
as described in section 6.
The Intelligent Timer did not cut off the electricity supply in 2.5 hours
• It is likely that the cooker has an electronic user interface. If so, the Intelligent Timer will not start when a hotplate is
on at a very low heat. This is because these types of cookers have a high standby energy consumption rate.
