I've Googled the archives without finding much of an answer so apologies for asking the question again:
My dishwasher and washing machine are located in my kitchen. I run them overnight and have a simple battery powered smoke detector.
I want to replace said smoke detector with one that I can link to a couple of others around the house (especially in my attic).
So, do I buy any old linkable smoke detector or is there a type, perhaps optical, that is more suited to kitchen use?
I gather from the archives that whitegoods, if properly maintained, might be more likely to cause their surroundings to ignite after smouldering for some time. But kitchens, especially mine, are prone to filling with acrid smoke in normal use! BTW I have, or will soon, a gas hob in the kitchen.
TIA Richard
