Yes, you read it right; new ovens do have a burnt plastic smell. And it’s usually due to the insulation around the oven cavity being exposed to high heat for the first time. In other instances, it can result from the protective oil coating used during manufacture burning.
Before First-Time Use: Clean the oven interior, door, and glass with soap and water to remove some of the manufacturing grease; the remaining oil residue will burn off during the burn-in process. Operate the oven on “CONVECTION ROAST” at 500F for 1 hour after it has preheated.
On average, ovens last 15 to 20 years. Ovens last longer because they don’t have as many moving parts as other appliances, such as washing machines and dishwashers.
Price. Miele ovens are arguably the most expensive units in the market, but for a good reason. Their ovens are top of the range for their quality, functionality, reliability, and durability.
Whatever the case, new ovens smell. The best way to get rid of the smell is to run a proper burn-in cycle. It’s recommended that you not cook any food prior to a burn-in, as the smell (and potentially the taste) can stick with your food.
Break in the oven. Most manufacturers will tell you to heat your new oven to a high temp (think: about 400F) for 30 minutes to help remove any residue from the surfaces inside the oven. Be sure to open the windows and run some fans things will get smelly.
For a modern combi boiler, the radiator heating temperature should be set at or around 75 degrees celsius for the best efficiency and performance.
You may notice your new oven smells like burning plastic if you miss removing all of the zip ties which secure the oven during transit. This could also result in new oven smoking.
