What Is the Auto Stove Shutoff?
When it comes to fire safety at home, many people know the basics, like using fire extinguishers and covering burning food with a lid. However, fire prevention has advanced significantly beyond these traditional methods. The Auto Stove Shutoff from FireAvert is a modern solution that changes how we protect our families and homes from fire.

What is the Auto Stove Shutoff?
The Auto Stove Shutoff is a smart device designed to automatically turn off your stove when it detects smoke or fire. Working seamlessly with your smoke alarm, it continuously monitors for any signs of danger and is always ready to take action. We developed the Auto Stove Shutoff with one primary goal in mind: to prevent kitchen fires that could easily be avoided—or, as we like to say, STOP KITCHEN FIRES!
How Does It Work?
1. Installing the Auto Stove Shutoff
The Auto Stove Shutoff is easily installed behind your electric or gas stove. It fits within the void space on the back, which keeps it out of site without pushing out your stove from the wall.
2. Continuous Monitoring
Once installed, the Auto Stove Shutoff continuously listens for the sound of your smoke alarm. It is always ready to take action at a moment's notice.
3. Taking Action
When smoke is detected and the smoke alarm sounds, the Auto Stove Shutoff waits for a short period (approximately 30 seconds) to account for false alarms or brief cooking mishaps. If the smoke alarm continues to sound after this period, the device automatically cuts power to the stove, effectively removing the heat source and preventing the situation from escalating into a fire.
Why Choose FireAvert's Auto Stove Shutoff?
Automatic Prevention
Unlike traditional fire extinguishers, fire blankets, or other items used to smother flames, the Auto Stove Shutoff operates differently by stopping a potential fire before it even has a chance to ignite. This innovative device works independently, without needing anyone present to deploy it. With the Auto Stove Shutoff, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you and your family are protected, even if a fire starts when no one is home.
Smart Technology
The Auto Stove Shutoff is programmed to recognize the sound of any smoke alarm, so you don’t need special technology for it to function. It is intelligent enough to differentiate between smoke alarm sounds and other noises, such as loud music or children's toys, ensuring that only genuine alerts trigger its response.
Reusable and Maintenance-Free
Once installed, the Auto Stove Shutoff can be used over and over again, without needing to recharge, replace or refill anything!
