Doesn't hurt to give them a hoover out every couple of months.

Good idea - I just found a mummified fly in one of mine!

Trigger voltage for low batty beep = 7.4v, and temperatures
drop in small hours as posted elsewhere.
The alarms should be vacuumed regularly to prevent dust build up
which will make over sensitive.
If youve lost the manuals d/load from
www.smoke-alarms.co.uk
under d/loads.
Though specific to Kidde advice is sound for most.

You found 'a' mummified fly? If I looked in all the light fittings
and similar things in our house I'd find thousands of dead flies,
surely people don't really worry about the odd one in a smoke alarm.

No they don't, that's why they get burned alive.

You mean the smoke alarm won't work when there's a dead fly in it? If
so I may as well give up before I start where smoke alarms are concerned.
Strangely enough there tend to be quite a few flying beasties (of the
six legged variety) in our part of the country and since we often have
the doors open for quite considerable periods (i.e. last week-end)
lots of them get into the house.
