This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless
the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too
close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling. Using
the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help prevent nuisance alarms from
occurring by removing these combustible products from the kitchen.
