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?

    We kept ours either off with the door open or on with the door shut for a while. The smell was terrible and it made my throat burn. I also had my doubts. But it eventually lessened and went away completely. Fans and open windows help, if the weather permits it.
