I just got a new electric oven and range. It’s a slide-in. The oven makes a nasty chemical smell when I run it. The instructions say that’s normal and it should take around thirty minutes if running for it to stop.
I’ve run it for around eight or nine hours and it’s still making a stink.
Those of you who have gotten new electric ovens: how long until it stopped producing an odour?
It’s a pretty nasty smell, so I have all the windows in my house open (two in the kitchen) and the kitchen exhaust fan running.
Might help to aim a fan into the open oven periodically for a few minutes at a time. Besides heat, you want airflow in there to accelerate the rate of dissipation.
The smell isn’t coming from within the oven. It seems to be originating from the cooling fan that keeps the stovetop from overheating.
