Page 1 of smoke/fire alarm at home

i live in a new build flat and when we bought it last june it had built in smoke alarms one in the hall and one in the front room/kitchen (its all in one) the stupid thing is they have put it slightly forward and to the right of the oven. recently when we have been grilling things and the oven has got smokey (not due to things being burnt just general slight smoke-e-ness from the food) it has been setting the alarm off and causing it to make the noise bout 5 times b4 it stops and going off every time we open the oven. this is really annoying me as nothing is burning or on fire but it just seems to be sensitive recently (im glad it works but not when there is no fire) sorry bout the long story but wanted to know if it would be easy to take down and either move or just have the one in the hall? as the flat is very small.only thing is i think it is built in (electrical as well as battery powered) please help as this is driving me mad!

You can by caps for them - we have one for work which is positioned over where they do the ironing in wardrobe - we put a plastic cap over the alarm - when finished remove it. It`s painted bright red so you don`t forget.

Have you bought the flat or is it rented? If you`re renting then contact your landlords and demand that the alarm be repositioned, explaining the sheer stupidity with which it was located in the first place.

I have a special one positioned near my cooker. It has a 10 minute "snooze" option so when you are using the grill or opening the oven, it won`t go off. You just poke the button to make it stay quiet for a bit.

Not sure if this sort is available as hardwired electrical, but it is the sensible option for the kitchen.
