Hi all,


I just moved to a new property (rented) , and the smoke alarm is annoying.


Its a unit and does not have a exhaust/ but i do open the window while cooking.


Its very rare case that we cook at our house but is it ok if i turn it off / disable the alarm while i am cooking ?


it has been buzzed twice in 2 days. turned it off as soon as it started buzzing.


Boiling milk in a container triggered it.


My other question is - is it connected to someone ? maybe fire department or something ?

Sounds like, you need to discuss this with your Agent / Landlord?

 

Certainly disabling or otherwise fiddling with a smoke alarm in a property you are renting is a big no-no.
