How long until that "new oven smell" stops? (sh.itjust.works)

I just got a new electric oven and range. It's a slide-in. The oven makes a nasty chemical smell when I run it. The instructions say that's normal and it should take around thirty minutes if running for it to stop.

I've run it for around eight or nine hours and it's still making a stink.

Those of you who have gotten new electric ovens: how long until it stopped producing an odour?

That's a good idea. I'll check.

    I might be careful before using the self clean. I think it depends on how the self clean functions but I've seen a couple posts over the years of people recommending against using it. Some just lock the door and crank the temp to a higher than normal amount and it can stress the components or people have said it cracked the glass door.
