The FireAngel HW10-EUT Heat Alarm provides targeted protection for the most hazard-prone areas of your home. Key Features & Operation: Targeted Kitchen Safety: Considering that almost half of all household fires originate in the kitchen, securing this high-risk zone is essential. False Alarm Prevention: This device effectively alerts you to actual fire hazards while ignoring everyday cooking fumes, preventing nuisance alarms. Ideal for Extreme Environments: Specifically engineered for spaces exposed to high humidity, fumes, or heavy dust—making it perfect for kitchens, attics, and garages. (Note: For accelerated detection, look for the FireAngel Thermistek line). Continuous Operation: Hardwired to the mains supply but includes a durable, replaceable backup battery to ensure uninterrupted security during power outages. Accessible Controls & Sleep Mode: Features an oversized central button designed for easy testing from ground level using a broom handle, eliminating the need for a ladder. This same button triggers the "Sleep Easy" feature, muting low-battery warnings for 8 hours so your sleep remains undisturbed.
