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?

Did you remove the plastic protection foil from all surfaces?!
I removed the packaging from all surfaces I can access without disassembling the stove.
Does I have a cleaning cycle? Run that.
That’s a good idea. I’ll check.
I might be careful before using the self clean. I think it depends on how the self clean functions but I’ve seen a couple posts over the years of people recommending against using it. Some just lock the door and crank the temp to a higher than normal amount and it can stress the components or people have said it cracked the glass door.
If not set it as high as possible for 5 hrs. I think my clean cycle takes it up over 550 *F for that long.
Yeah leave the exhaust fan running; it doesn’t smell great.
Good call. I’ve been faffing around at 425. I’ll go higher.
Grab a priest and ask for an exorcism if its sulfuric.
Constantine is that you?

A few weeks! Ugh! That isn’t what I wanted to hear, but it’s good to know this is to be expected. Thanks!
