smoke alarm

It's normal for new heating equipment to 'burn off' coatings.
I just open some Windows and turn on the heat until the smell is gone.
If the smell doesn't stop, start investigating.

It stated exactly what you said. Takes 5 to 10 minutes to burn paint off. all is well.

and thanks,

Normal

Same thing in our stick house each fall. Have to burn off dust and other ****, then no more smell. RV same way. We cheat. We use a couple small electric space heaters. They do a wonderful job in keeping coach pretty comfy. As a back up, we uncover the floor vents and switch t-stat to heat just in case it gets too cold and lil heaters can't keep up, but this has rarely happened.

Same thing for us a few weeks back on our new rig. Took the battery out and kept running the furnace, a few hours later the battery went back in and no problems since.

Side note about smoke alarms. Read one time in Reader's Digest about a lady who wondered why her family didn't make tracks to exit the house when the smoke alarm went off. She asked her son and he said, "Dinners done".
