Hi There,
Whilst having been an observer of Talking Point for a while, I decided to join today to ask for help tracing a safety sensor for microwaves. My dad , who has alzheimers & still lives alone,set the microwave on fire last night .Not a lot of damage but the firemen suggested we get an attachment that senses smoke from the appliance & shuts the heat off before it triggers the smoke alarm in the house.However, after trawling the net for 3 hours & phoning Age Concern, Panasonic help desk & Curry's- no one has heard of such a device.My dad has carers 4 times a day to prepare meals ( they will only use microwaves) so he shouldn't need to do it himself, but try telling him that!I have sent an e-mail to a firm in Canada that looks as if it manufactures them,but thought someone out there must have had the same problem at some point.The firemen have seen the device but don't know how to acquire one either.
Any suggestions gratefully received!
