does the anti scald aspect really prevent scalding?
2017996
yes, but it still is pretty hot when it shuts off but would not cause burns.
2017997
Yes. It completely cuts off the water supply when the water temp hits 120 or so. The problem then is you have to wait sometimes for a couple of minutes for things to cool off enough to resume your shower, which can be a bit of an inconvenience if you just lathered up a good shampoo, and the water cuts out. I ended up removing this shower head for a conventional one.

Yes. It shuts off the water flow until it cools down, then the water will come back on.

Sorry, I only use Mizani's Thermasmooth Shine Extend with my Solia, which I have set around 300. This product helps with humidity but does not mention anything about protecting from heat. Maybe I need to consider something myself.

I would imagine it depends on what your heating up but think I would always use the lid on and open the vent. As said by others, it would protect against splatter.

Even though it states that it is double walled, it doesn't seem of offer any noticeable insulation. As a result, it is uncomfortably hot to touch, but won't cause an instant burn from a brief contact.However, given how hot it gets and therefor how poorly it is insulated, I wouldn't choose this unit for 24/7 use.

Check with your local first responders but in my opinion a burning person is best suppressed by smothering. Throw a blanket, jacket, or other covering onto the burning person and get it tight. That will cut off oxygen and stifle the flames. Alternatively rolling over and over (ideally on gravel or sand) can sometimes help. The problem with applying the extinguisher to a burning person is (a) there's a lot of surface area to deal with, (b) you're unlikely to be able to douse the flames, and (c) the chemicals in the fire retardant may cause problems with subsequent healing. It's much better, therefore, to carry a fire blanket alongside the extinguisher in case you have to deal with a person on fire.

Try lowering the Temperature setting. I have mine set near center position which is plenty hot unless you need to scald.

Yes it does. I don't usually notice because I tend to cook low and long. But I did some high temperature cooking the other day and it was very hot. But I keep a kitchen towel on the stove so I just used that I don't have a problem.

I don't believe it does. My wife uses it and I've gotten home from work a couple of times to find it still on from the morning. She has a heat resistant holder so it doesn't burn anything though.

It doesn't take much too get burnt these days, all I can say is, I'm very happy with my Scepter, absolutely no problems, works great, as far as I'm concerned, it's a great buy, with a good warranty!!

Yes, it is my understanding that it keeps you from being burned if the actual pad gets too hot.

Yes. But, I would soap the bottom of the cook ware, using a bar of soap, to prevent any scorching. I like to keep my cook ware in tip top shape to last a long time.

It does get pretty warm, but not so hot that you can't touch it - if you need to hold the kettle with your other hand to support/pour, however, I would indeed use a hot pad to be protected. I love this tea kettle!!

There is an anti scald feature that needs to be adjusted. I had the same problem before my contractor adjusted it. Unfortunately I don't know the specifics of what he did other than removing the faceplate and making the needed adjustment.

I have looked in the manual and found this warningDANGER BurnsWater temperatures over 125 °F (52 °C)can cause severeburns instantly or death from scaldingYou should call Stiebel's technical service line 800-582-8423 and ask them, they are very helpful with questions.Safari249

They will protect you from the heat very well, the main concern would be if they got enough flammable liquid on them. Kevlar is very easy to put out if it ever did catch on fire. As a welder I have yet to receive any arc or splatter burns thanks to these. To answer your question specifically, yes they would protect you from direct contact with flames and act as a heat shield. If your worried about flammable liquid soaking in you could always run the sleeves under a tap and wring them out which I do just to help with the summer heat.

The anti steam has an inside liner that gives better heat protection and repels steam. Steam will penetrate a normal hot surface glove. Also the anti steam gloves are handed left and right, so they fit better.

We use the cover to prevent splatter when we cook fish. I have not noticed any steam escaping through the small holes in the splatter guard. After cooking the underside of the screen is moist showing it traps heat and steam.
