Question from john walker
Hi Debra, I suffer from MCS and just hesitantly bought another gas stove to replace my old one. The gas itself does not bother me unless I stand over it for awhile. However, the stove is new and it is outgassing making me ill. The smell is like a “new” smell like get from electronics. Do you have any ideas how to speed up the outgassing process?
Thank You
Debra’s Answer
I don’t know of any way other than to simply use it. This is one of the reasons to buy used appliances.
I recently bought a new Frigidaire gas stove and had no “new” smells from it. It was a closeout model on sale, so it probably had been sitting around for a while.
