The Black+Decker Connected Kitchen Heat Alarm is the ideal safety solution for homeowners looking to protect kitchens, garages, and utility rooms from fire hazards without the frustration of false alarms caused by cooking smoke or steam. This device leverages precise thermistor technology to trigger only during genuine heat spikes, offering a 10-year maintenance-free lifespan thanks to its sealed lithium battery. While it provides excellent protection for high-heat areas, users should note that it is designed specifically for heat detection and should be used as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, standard smoke detectors in living spaces.

No, this is a dedicated heat alarm. It is designed to detect high heat, making it perfect for kitchens where smoke alarms would cause false alerts.
No, the device features a 10-year sealed lithium battery. Once the battery reaches the end of its life, the entire unit should be replaced.
You can wirelessly interlink up to 20 Black+Decker Connected alarm units to form a comprehensive home safety network.
It is best placed in kitchens, utility rooms, or garages—essentially anywhere where dust, steam, or smoke might trigger a standard alarm incorrectly.
Press and hold the test button on the face of the unit. The alarm should sound briefly to confirm that the siren and sensor are functioning.
This may indicate a fault or that the end of the 10-year service life has been reached; verify if the unit was installed more than a decade ago.
Ensure the unit is correctly seated on its mounting plate to activate the power switch, then clean the vents to ensure the sensor is not obstructed by dust.
Ensure all units are within the manufacturer's specified wireless range and follow the re-pairing instructions in the manual to clear and reset the network.
Installation involves securing the mounting plate to your ceiling using the included fixings. Once the unit is twisted onto the plate, it automatically activates. To pair multiple units, follow the specific interlinking sequence outlined in the manual to sync the wireless signal across your home. Compatibility is limited to the Black+Decker Connected range for the interlink feature. Regarding care, vacuum the vents occasionally with a soft brush attachment to remove dust buildup, and periodically use the test button to ensure the internal circuitry and siren remain fully functional. Never paint the alarm or use chemical cleaners on the sensor surface.
