• Why does the room smell strangely when a cooking product is in use?

Answer:

Using an oven or cooktop in a room or area that has recently been painted or had wood staining done may cause a strong odor as the room heats up.

• It may be necessary to run ventilation or open a window until the paint or stain has set and no longer smells.
