Hi

Can multi-sensor alarms (optical and heat eg Ei2110) be used in kitchens? I know they are super sensitive while not having false alarms, but can I use them everywhere?

Thanks

In a kitchen there is likely to be steam or smoke from burnt toast which would most likely operate the optical sensor therefore I would stick to heat only.

From the installation guidance accompanying the Ei2100 series,

"The ideal system would consist of Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms installed throughout the dwelling apart from the kitchen which should have a Heat Alarm installed (Note: alarms should not be installed in toilets/bathrooms)."
