Warmth with care

A safe & cosy Stoov experience

Using your Stoov feels like basking in sunlight—comforting, soothing, and wonderfully relaxing. You might even be tempted to crank it up to the maximum heat and settle in for a nap. But have you ever wondered: is there a right way to use a heated product? Are there any safety measures to be mindful of? Just like we teach our children to handle traditional heat sources like radiators or hot water bottles with care, modern electric heating products, like your Stoov, also require some basic know-how. In this blog, we’ll share practical advice to help you enjoy your Stoov to the fullest while keeping things safe and snug.

Safely wrapped in warmth

Did you know your skin (the body’s largest organ) is quite sensitive to heat? It’s what protects you by giving you that instant "ouch!" reaction when something’s too hot. But even lower temperatures, when enjoyed for too long, can sometimes sneak up on you and can even cause injuries without you realising it. This is more likely if you’re unaware of the warmth or unable to sense it properly, such as when you fall asleep.

Things like age, skin sensitivity, or even the clothes you’re wearing can influence how warmth feels on your skin. And let's face it, when you're lounging on the couch - fully immersed in the warmth, you may be less aware of its effects. But don’t worry! With a few simple tips, you can fully relax and soak up all the soothing vibes your Stoov has to offer — safely and comfortably.

Safety first, cosy always

At Stoov, your safety is our priority. Every product undergoes rigorous testing in both laboratory and real-world settings before it reaches your hands. We also work with external experts to ensure our products meet the highest safety standards. Curious about the guidelines we follow? You can find detailed information in the manual that came with your product!

Stoov products are packed with safety features to give you peace of mind:

Temperature sensors

These monitor and adjust the heat to maintain a stable, safe temperature.

Bi-Metal Safety Mechanism:

This fail-safe cuts power if the heating element becomes too hot.

Auto-Off Function:

If you forget to turn off your Stoov, it will switch off automatically after eight hours.

Step-Down Feature

Every two hours, the heat setting is lowered to prevent overheating. You can crank up the heat again by pressing the button, but be mindful when doing so!

On/off switch:

This switch allows you to completely shut off your Stoov, avoiding accidental activation during storage or use.

Stoov tips for cosy moments

We’ve made Stoov as safe as can be, but just like with any other product, it’s always important to use it correctly. With just a few simple tips, you can relax and enjoy the warmth of your Stoov with total peace of mind!

1. Use Level 3 as a Boost:

Think of the highest heat setting as a turbo boost. Use it to warm up your Stoov and yourself, then switch to Level 2 for consistent, cosy heat. And another added benefit; your battery will last longer this way!

2. Battery-Only Operation:

For safety and convenience, use your Stoov with the battery, not while the charger is plugged into the product. This naturally limits usage time, as the battery will eventually need recharging.

3. Choose the Right Heat Level:

While we don't recommend sleeping with your Stoov, if you’re likely to fall asleep or have reduced sensitivity to heat, opt for the lowest heat setting. This reduces the chance of overheating over time.
