Brand new AEG washer dryer smells like chemicals (UK)

A chemical or plastic smell from a brand-new AEG washer-dryer can be normal after unpacking and should fade over the first few drying cycles. First separate that new-product odor from a burning smell, smoke, abnormal heat, or a smell that persists or worsens. Clean and ventilate only as the AEG instructions allow; unplug and arrange service for burning odor or electrical warning signs.
