According to statistics from the fire department, cooking with stoves is the number one cause of fires. Common reasons include careless cooking, burning food, oil fires, improper use, and unattended stoves. The impact of fires goes beyond just financial losses and can also endanger lives. Therefore, the team developed the " SEFI KNOB" product to ensure the safety of users, particularly the elderly or those with poor memory. Through this innovative design, they hope to effectively eliminate potential hazards and significantly reduce tragic incidents, becoming the guardian of the kitchen.
The assembly and operation of this product are both very simple. The "SEFI KNOB" can be installed on any stove, including single-burner, tabletop, and built-in stoves, without replacing the original stove. Simply replace the switch with the "SEFI KNOB" to use. The cooking process is fully automatically controlled by an AI microcomputer, making it easy and convenient to operate. Under normal operation, the "SEFI KNOB" can be used as a timer and automatically detect if the user forgets to turn off the stove or if it is overheating. In this case, the device will automatically shut off the stove. If using a double-burner stove, the "SEFI KNOB" can not only independently time and turn off each burner but also automatically shut off both burners when one is detected to be in danger, thereby avoiding more serious disasters.
Fire is a common safety hazard that threatens human life and causes property damage. Through the innovative design of this product, the incidence of fires can be significantly reduced, providing users with a healthy and safe cooking experience. In addition to ensuring individual benefits, this also contributes greatly to the overall safety of society.
