Abstract
A smoke detecting microwave assembly for inhibiting fire when cooking with a microwave oven includes a microwave oven that has an interior space. A smoke detector is coupled to the microwave oven for detecting smoke. The smoke detector is electrically coupled to the microwave oven. The microwave oven is turned off when the smoke detector detects smoke to inhibit food from combusting in the microwave oven. A carbon monoxide detector is coupled to the microwave oven for detecting carbon monoxide. The microwave oven is turned off when the carbon monoxide detector detects carbon monoxide to inhibit production of carbon monoxide from combustion.
Claims4
A smoke detecting microwave assembly for shutting off a microwave when food in the microwave begins to burn, said assembly comprising:
- a microwave oven having an interior space;
- a control circuit being positioned within said microwave oven, said control circuit being in electrical communication with a remote alarm, said control circuit being hardwired to said remote alarm, said remote alarm being an extrinsic smoke detector external to said microwave oven;
- an internal smoke detector being coupled to said microwave oven, said internal smoke detector detecting smoke, said internal smoke detector being electrically coupled to said microwave oven, said microwave oven being turned off when said internal smoke detector detects smoke wherein said internal smoke detector is configured to inhibit food from combusting in said microwave oven;
- and
- a carbon monoxide detector being coupled to said microwave oven, said carbon monoxide detector detecting carbon monoxide, said microwave oven being turned off when said carbon monoxide detector detects carbon monoxide wherein said carbon monoxide detector is configured to inhibit production of carbon monoxide from combustion.
A smoke detecting microwave assembly for shutting off a microwave when food in the microwave begins to burn, said assembly comprising:
- a microwave oven having an interior space;
- a control circuit being positioned within said microwave oven, said control circuit being in electrical communication with a remote alarm said control circuit being hardwired to said remote alarm, said remote alarm being an extrinsic smoke detector external to said microwave oven;
