AMICA EBC 6541AA Oven: Persistent Odor After 2.5 Hours of Burning at 250°C - Warranty Issue?

Question

Hello.
I have an AMICA EBC 6541AA oven for about two weeks, it was installed recently. I carried out firing according to manual 30 min. 250oC, smoked and made the whole house dirty. But that is not the point. Despite being burned out, it still stinks of her. In total, I have been burning it for about 2.5 hours at 250oC, the smoke does not come out anymore, but it smells as much as at the beginning.

Is it only for warranty? Should you burn it for a few more hours?

Burning off will do nothing. The stench will subside only after baking a dozen times (baking cakes, meats), and this is due to the fact that the oven insulation is soaked in a special preparation. It is not harmful and in no way will the smell get into the food itself.
I know this smell is a bit bothersome at first, but with each baking it will get smaller and smaller until it fades away.

Thanks for the answer. It's a little hard to believe that this smell is not harmful. It is biting and clothes can pass through it. Do you know exactly what this measure is?

I, as a service technician of this equipment, have no idea. Perhaps more information about this measure can be obtained by calling the helpline from a landline: 801-801-800

Hello, I have the same problem with a similar oven. After a few hours of burning, it smells like plastic all over the house. I checked the outlet, it's cold. There is a bad smell from outside the main oven cavity, but it's hard to tell where from. Some plastic, insulation is on fire.
Today I made a complaint. I am waiting.
Any news on this matter? I will be grateful for the information.

I haven't called the hotline yet, but:

1. I baked a cake - it didn't smell like that, it probably mixed with the smell of the cake + baking "only" at 180oC and not 250 so maybe it had some effect; the dough did not smell like that
2. I baked a roast, here at a higher temperature the stench was more perceptible, but still weaker than at the beginning

As for where it comes from, I also have a similar feeling. The chamber itself does not stink, it is very clean there and nothing seems to be the source of such a stench. As for the smell, I confirm it, something like burned plastic, some plastic, suffocating.

Let me know what about the complaint. What is the specific model of the oven?

Thank you for opinion. Amica service has already visited us once due to problems with the hood from the very beginning. It's nice because they come, take and fix it.
As for the oven, I am waiting for contact with the service, probably in a week someone will appear. Amica oven EBI8564AA.
Best regards and successful baking without the stench! I immediately feel my wife trying to bake something from a distance, luckily it tastes good

It's been a long time, how are you? What about the service?

mkurko · Answer

Some time ago the oven came back from the service. They did it to me without words. Now nothing stinks. The fact is that the casing heats up a bit more, but maybe it's just an impression, because it's hard to compare it now. I recommend a week of waiting and screaming.

Regards

You are lucky that the website arranged it for you. For me, I have already carried out Firing about 5 x 1h 280 degrees, it does not help - the oven stinks all the time as it did at the beginning. Now I took it outside and I will burn it there, because the stench in the house is unbearable - despite the open window and full ventilation. The instructions say that after an hour it should be ok - but it is not. The oven is Amica ED47634BA + X - TYPE OPENUP. I called the service, but the service technician said that these ovens are so lame and that's it - nothing can be done. The complaint was rejected because the oven is functional according to the service.
