is there a way to remove the Smell from this multimeter. I can't stand the smell/Odder comes from the unit?

Never noticed any unusual odor. There's a slight "plasticky" smell, I suppose. Excellent tool.

There was a slight smell at first but it wore off. This is common in many electric heaters. I call it the newness smell. However if it continues to smell and the odor is strong there may be some defect. Possibly a piece of plastic stuck on the heating element inside. Give it a few days and let it run for a couple of hours.Keep a close watch on it.

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

Often you have to go through a descale process. Look in the manual and try that. It will often clean a sensor and maybe get it going again. The process is a combination of distilled vinegar and water etc...

Our unit doesn't smell at all. My wife & daughters are very sensitive to that sort of thing and none of them have ever made any comment along those lines. As for me, the unit is in my home office and sits 10ft away from me all day long. There's no problem from my perspective.

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant 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.

Nope. The smell was probably from the electronic components on the inside. Mine finally burned out & I replaced the power supply diodes. (I have an electronic background) For a less than industrial grade cleaner this little fellow has given me my money worth. Over a thousand cycles. However it is not sturdy enough to handle extended high time settings. The liquid should get hot, but I think this is the problem for the circuit board; Insufficient cooling on the inside to vent the heat away from the circuit board. I installed a micro pancake cooling fan & have had no further problems on any setting. If you have a friend that is electronic savy this is a simple & cheap modification. Hope this helps Nope.

I never had a smell or odor emitted from this toaster. Can it be your outlet that is causing the problem? If not, send it back as defective and request replacement or refund.

I clean mine after each use with hot water and soap. Then I turn it on with plain water to remove any soap residue. I would not want to accidentally get any harsh chemicals in my nose. I leave it in pieces to air dry. The noise of the machine doesn't seem to bother anyone in my home, unlike what the other person stated.

Your question is rather vague...I assume you are referring to the ozone odor? If so, your ozone plate inside the machine is probably burned out. Search yahoo for replacement. Many sites have them available.

Hi, I would try cleaning it with white distilled vinegar. It will kill the smell if you get it into/under the gasket/seal. Hope this helps.

The two sensors that are on the far right of the unit might be crusted with deposits.I would fill the base full with 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar (if it's real full it will cover thesensors) or you can chip it off but be careful about damaging the sensor).

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

Didn't notice any smell at all. Maybe its just the new unit smell but it doesn't last. i would take it as a clean air smell.

No odor noticed on mine. Works well. Maybe just some dust being burned off at startup. Should not be a smell after that.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.
