Description

The Halos Tactile Icon Oven Stickers help people who are blind or have low vision identify oven controls more easily. These self-adhesive stickers feature distinctive raised shapes that represent common oven functions. As a result, users can locate and identify controls by touch instead of relying entirely on printed labels or visual displays.

Made from EVA foam, the stickers feature raised, three-dimensional icons that provide a physical reference on flat, touch-sensitive control panels. In addition, their consistent tactile shapes help users learn and remember different oven functions.

The stickers are part of the HALOS (Home Appliance Labeling and Overlay System), which helps make everyday appliances more accessible. By adding tactile symbols to compatible oven controls, users can build confidence and enjoy greater independence when preparing meals.

What’s Included?

The Halos Tactile Icon Oven Stickers set includes 18 tactile stickers, with two stickers for each of the following nine functions:

• Start: A sideways triangle represents the Start function.
• Cancel: A cross-shaped icon identifies the Cancel function.
• Bake: A double-ridged line represents the Bake function.
• Broil: A single-ridged line identifies the Broil function.
• Increase: An upward-facing arrow indicates an increase in settings.
• Decrease: A downward-facing arrow indicates a decrease in settings.
• Timer: A sand-timer shape represents the Timer function.

Each symbol provides a simple tactile reference for a frequently used oven control. Furthermore, the two stickers per function offer added flexibility when labeling compatible controls. Before applying them, make sure each icon matches the intended function on your oven.

Benefits for Blind and Low Vision Users

The Halos Tactile Icon Oven Stickers make oven controls easier to identify through touch. Instead of depending entirely on small printed words, numbers, or visual displays, users can feel each raised shape to identify the function they need.

For example, an upward-facing arrow represents Increase, while a downward-facing arrow represents Decrease. Once users learn these symbols, they can recognize them more easily when operating their oven.

These stickers can be especially helpful on modern ovens with smooth, touch-sensitive control panels. Because these panels often provide little physical feedback, the raised icons give users a tactile reference point.

In addition, the stickers can support greater independence during meal preparation and everyday kitchen tasks. By making commonly used controls easier to identify, they help users approach cooking with greater confidence.

Why Choose Halos Tactile Icon Oven Stickers?

Many modern ovens feature flat electronic control panels that can be difficult to navigate without vision. Halos Tactile Icon Oven Stickers address this challenge by adding raised, recognizable symbols to commonly used controls.

Instead of relying only on visual displays, users can feel each icon to identify the corresponding function. Furthermore, the consistent HALOS symbols help users learn and remember what each shape represents.

The stickers also offer a practical way to improve the accessibility of an existing oven. Rather than replacing the appliance, users can add tactile markers to compatible controls and develop a more familiar way to navigate their kitchen.

Whether you’re making cooking easier at home or supporting someone with a visual impairment, Halos Tactile Icon Oven Stickers provide a simple way to encourage greater confidence and independence in the kitchen.
