How do I make my smoke detector turn off?


Hi, My smoke detector just went on because I had a cooking accident. I unplugged it and replugged it in and it still makes noise.
Does anyone know how to turn it off?
Thanks!

Mine always does the same when i open the oven. Open a door or use the fan above the stove. It will stop unless its faulty. If it makes noise totally randomly then its faulty. If all else fails smash it with a big hammer

Try leaving it unplugged for 30 min. & perhaps leaving it in the ouside air.

Could be there's enough smoke in the air yet to set it off. Take the batteries out for 2 hours and put them back in later and it should be ok. Stick them in before you go to bed so you don't forget.

break it with a broom then buy a new one for ten bucks

UGH, that happend to me, i just completly broke it; it was getting on my nerves, i had to study for my finals!

find the spot where it detects the smoke and vaccum it out to get any debri out or smoke

you need to vent the smoke /steam out. Not much on smoke detectors that plug in.

No matter what I did to mine it would not shut off for nothing. I stomped on it.

you have to get all the smoke out of it
