Housed in the lounge / dining room, room that is one with the kitchen. I have done well to take the model with a temporary break-up (10 min. Approx) because this detector is sensitive, there are no extractor Dhôte in my kitchen, just an asthmatic VMC (the rental of joys) . In my case, based on what I cook, it does not forgive if I forget to pause. Note that even pause the detector can trigger sil are a lot of smokers (it never happened). The product is well made, there is a mounting base which can remove and replace the sensor easily (to change the battery for example). In addition, the base can be sealed, if necessary, to ensure that the detector is not removed for convenience. Please note that the photo does not match, the photo corresponds to the product with a test button only (mandatory).
February 2014: 4 months after the purchase, the detector signal seems that there is a failure or the battery is empty. I lean toward the empty battery (9), in all cases it is surprising and disappointing. I do not try to contact the customer service of the manufacturer because it will cost me more time and money than buying another.
