Re: NEFF 1564 Oven – Terrible Smell
Thanks for the replies…
The oven has never been cleaned with any proprietry cleaner, only warm sudsey water.
Cooking is usually done in either oven-proof pottery (casserole dish), glass (Pyrex) or Analon pans. The smell can occur using all types. Also, it can occur when just using the grill to make toast!
The oven was installed by me into an existing under-worktop cabinet which served the previous Neff oven for over 20 years.
The installation instructions make no mention of any ventilation requirements, only sizes of the cavity required to fit it. My previous Neff gas hob, fitted above the oven, had a ventilation grill built into it which would allow an airflow down into the oven cabinet. The new Neff gas hob fits flush to the worktop and does not have any ventilation grill. Kitchen ventilation is via a wall mounted 15cm extractor fan, venting straight outside.
If the oven is removed from its cabinet, it is possible to detect the offending smell close to the lifting-handle holes where the insulation is visible. I did wonder whether it was the insulation itself causing the problem when it got hot.
Would it be worthwhile removing the oven from its cabinet and try cooking in it, with it just sitting on the floor? (with suitable protection under it, of course).
Still a bit of a mystery…
