We have disconnected our two smoke alarms as they even went off when we opened the oven!!
Regarding the smoke alarms, it strikes me that yours are too sensitive and may actually have some dust or other foreign material in the device that makes them go off when they shouldn’t.
Perhaps the developer installed the wrong kind of smoke alarm – commercial rather than residential, because they are cheaper – but in any case, disconnecting them is not only dangerous, it is an offence.
If the smoke alarms are common property, ask to have them tested and if necessary replaced as they are clearly not fit for purpose.
If they are yours, change them for something more suitable.
Oh, and if your oven is setting off the smoke alarms it either needs a good, regular clean or it is past its use-by date and needs replaced
