I received a 2nd gen Anova. Upon its first water bath test baptism, I noticed a strong plastic/electrical odor emitted from the unit. It can be smelled throughout our fairly large home. I am in the midst of a 30 hour cook and the smell is becoming unbearable even with the kitchen windows open. I am thinking of moving it into the garage! I see a few posts addressing this same issue. Will this odor dissipate with use or does Anova possibly have a bad batch of these units? Thank you. ---
