Peculiar Smells

When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour.
This should stop after use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200 °C and run for at
least an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 15 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air
(see 'Ventilation' below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
