The stove turns itself off,even if you forget.
A timer that turns your stove off by itself, and a key switch that turns the gas off. Fitted by licensed electricians and plumbers across Victoria and New South Wales.
A forgotten stoveis a real worry.
Families usually ask about stove timers after something has happened. A pot boiled dry, a tea towel scorched, or a smell of gas in the hallway.
A stove timer takes that risk away. It turns the stove off by itself after a set time, every time. There is nothing new to remember and nothing different to press.
For many people, it is the change that means they can keep living safely in their own home.
The kits,and who they suit.
Two questions choose the kit: what kind of stove is it, and should the person cook on their own?
Kit 1 — gas stove timer
Turns a gas stove or cooktop off after a set time. For someone who cooks well but may forget to turn it off.
Kit 2 — electric stove timer
The same timer for an electric cooktop or upright cooker. Only an electrician is needed.
Kit 3 — gas and electric together
For a gas cooktop with an electric oven. One timer controls both.
Kit 4 — gas key switch
No timer, just a key switch that turns the gas off. For someone who shouldn’t cook alone.
Kit 5 — timer and key switch
Both together: a timer, and a key switch to turn the gas off completely. The kit carers ask for most.
Kit 6 — two separate timers
For a separate gas cooktop and electric oven that each need their own timer.

A bypass keyfor other cooks.
If someone else in the house also cooks, a bypass key switch lets them turn the timer off for a while. Handy for a Sunday roast.
The key only comes out when the switch is back on the timer setting. So it can’t be left on bypass by mistake, and the safety comes back on.
