I had an awful smell like burning plastic right before it quit working. I had no unusual smells right out of the box. It was a great toaster oven until it broke.

The smell will burn off after about 30 minutes to an hour. I love this little oven

Did you leave any packing material in it.my oven is just great. Just be careful it works very quickly

Mine smelled funny the first time or two. Be sure to move it out from any walls so it has plenty of vent room. I've had mine since Xmas and it doesn't smell anymore. I think it might have something to do with the fans because it only smelled when I used the convection oven.

During initial start up you may detect a slight smell. With continued use this smell should dissipate.

As with any new product out of the box, there is a slight smell to get used to after assembly. This is not a strong smell and goes away very quickly. After assembly, wipe down with a gentle cleaner and all should be good.

Yes, I had that burning smell as well. And some sparking as well. It is not normal and very dangerous. I stopped use it and thrown out it.

As I remember (since I bought this item some time ago) it does have a slight smell when you first bake in your oven. I am though, very happy with my purchase.

I had the same experience, also with the smell. I just threw it away. Couldn't even guess what the coating was!

Hi. I had the same issue with smell. I did not run the machine right away. I took it out and cleaned the filter in Lysol and let it sit for about 30 mins. Then rinsed really well and put it back after it dried completely. There was a slight smell for a few days, but it has gone away. You may want to put it outside or wipe down with baking soda and water just to help get rid of the smell.

there may be some plasticky smell off a new unit. that just means it was recently manufactured instead of sitting on shelf for awhile. try letting it run on low for awhile. i just keep mine on overnight. it eventually goes away. if it continues still, ask to exchange.

I didn't try oven cleaner, but I did try many, many products. The glass looks brand new.

No smell intially... only food smells after using you can just wipe it and then air it and the smell will go away...

How weird. Mine smells kinda like leather. Maybe you should return it if it doesn't clear up.

I did not notice any unusual odor. While i have only used the cooker a few times so far i thought it worked well and would recommend it.

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

It sounds to me like you were thawing the freezer, which is always a smelly Process. First use hot water & soap to clean the freezer rot, and then run the ozone generator to clear up any remain odors.

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.

Sorry I am using mine for polymer clays, I have not noticed the smell you speak of but also probably not using the higher temps needed for baking.

Were you using a little bleach to clean it? If so and the oders remain, then in a cup, try using a little baking soda and viniger, swish it around in it, you can let it soak if needed, then rince it well, if the smells stry in it after that, then my guess is its defective and I'd try sending it back for a replacement.

I say send it back and request an exchange. Mine just had a new smell and was ok to use immediately.
