I purchased this range in June 2025. Every time I use the oven, I get a strange smell. Is this common with this stove? null

Question

Accepted Answer

this smell linger the entire time while using it.  It is a gas stove using natural gas.

Answer

It's hard to give you an exact answer on this. It could be the natural gas odor after the oven lights that you smell or if your using propane. Does the smell linger the entire time you are using it or just after it lights?

Hi CLue2025! Thanks for the details based on your Frigidaire 5.1 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Gas Range with Quick Boil Burner and similar user reports plus general gas oven guidelines, here’s what’s typical and what isn’t:

Many gas ovens (including Frigidaire models) can emit a mild odor, new-appliance smell, or slight gassy scent the first few times you use them as:
- protective oils from manufacturing burn off
- insulation or coatings heat up
- vents expel odor during the first cycles

The official manual notes that some noise and odors on the first cooking cycle are normal and recommends running the oven at ~350°F for 30 min before regular use to help reduce any new-appliance smells. - Maico
