Q:what makes this special for kitchens exactly? is it more susceptible to smoke or less? meaning will it go off with the slightest bit of naturally occurring cooking smoke? or is it going to be less sensitive and only go off for actual fire?

Answer This Question

A:  Hello. The sensor in this alarm is photoelectric and is less affected by steam and heat and humidity though enough steam and humidity, especially enough for water to condense in the alarm, will still set off the alarm.

    Answer This Question

    A:  Push it down then put the battery in so it is between the side and the battery. There is a little slot it will fit into. Also make sure to put the black ribbon under the battery so it will pop up easily.

    A:  Hello Nancy, The red "arm" goes under the battery.

          Answer This Question

          A:  I did not measure the distance, I put one screw into the ceiling and put the base on it and then put the other screw through the second hole. They are around 3 inches apart.

            This is me feeling unsafe!
            I wish I would have read reviews before purchasing. Same thing is happening with mine, as in all the other reviews. It keeps going off all hours of the night scaring my dog and myself. I have cleaned it ,vacuumed it ,blown it out made sure there was no air flow, placed it in recommended area. I sure hope there's no fire , before I get a replacement of another brand. If anyone out there has this alarm , I recommend replacing it with another brand. Ive read like 12 reviews and they all say the same thing I'm not sure why it hasn't been recalled.

              Failed after few years
              Alarm sounded in middle of night. Would not silence until battery pulled. Tried using can of electronic air spray and new battery but alarm continued to sound right when new battery installed. We have two of this model, both in a bedroom, and only this one failed so far.

                I like it because the ceiling plate is the same as a prior detector.

                i had to buy new kidde firex smoke alarm because the one i had crapped out after a little over a year in use. home depot didn't provide me with an exchange and said i had to send back to manufacturer. after a year, i didn't save receipt, so i don't have proof when i bought, only the date i wrote on the cover when i installed the alarm.

                Long time favorite BUT DON"T use the Kidde battery! Use a brand 9v from the start. I had to replace the Kidde 9v 5 weeks after installing. At 1am, of course!

                Store attendant entered the model number in the system and received a compatible model number. The unit was not compatible, I called Kidde and was given a different number-ordered 2 online from Home Depot for delivery, they delivered one with a totally different model number. I had to go through the whole process of returning and replacing. Very frustrating. That said, the sales associate at the store did try her best to help-she was just given the wrong information.
