Fireproof Mat for Kitchen Appliances

Fireproof Mat for Kitchen Appliances

More and more people are cooking with various food processors. The Thermomix, for example, is particularly widespread, but food processors from KitchenAid or Bosch are also in use in many households. When using various food processors, it should be noted that electrical appliances can cause a fire in the event of a malfunction. This makes it all the more important to use a fireproof mat for the food processor.

Numerous fire safety regulations require the use of fireproof mats for electrical appliances. Accordingly, one should not take unnecessary risks and should use fireproof mats for all appliances with heating elements. Even in private households, no unnecessary risks should be taken in this regard, and a fireproof mat should be purchased for a small price. This is an important step toward vital fire safety measures.

What types of fireproof mats for food processors are available?

Anyone wishing to buy a fireproof mat will find after some research that there are not many products that meet the most important requirements. Furthermore, there are only a few mats that have been tested by TÜV Süd. Tiles or safety glass plates are very popular as fireproof mats; however, these can pose a risk of injury if they fall. Another very popular product is the FireMat. This product is one of the few that has been tested by TÜV Süd and can be easily ordered online. In commercial settings, the use of a fireproof mat for fire protection is even legally mandatory.

What materials are fireproof mats for food processors made of?

Fireproof mats include, for example, plates made of stone, ceramic, glass, or even metal. In addition, there are advanced versions made of non-combustible material, which we offer here in the shop as FireMat. The basic concept of these mats is rooted in fire safety. Should a fire occur in an electrical appliance, the plastic melts. This allows the fire to spread easily in the kitchen. The FireMat is designed to reduce exactly this danger. In the private sector, the use of these mats can also go beyond this purpose. Fire departments and insurance companies strongly recommend placing all electrical food processors (for example, Thermomix) on a fireproof mat. And the numbers speak for themselves: today, every third house fire is caused by a defective electrical appliance.
