two day test run

Question

Took the brand new Arctic Fox 990 out for a short two day test run before heading out for a week. Everything worked great but the smoke alarm kept going off when the furnace came on. I did notice a little odor at 1st &amp; my thought was the heater was burning off any odors of new flexible duct work. Anyone have any thoughts? I had to pull the battery out of it while furnace was running. fortunately it wasn't that cold at night &amp; was able to heat the tc up enough before turning in for the night.

Probably the actual heat exchanger unit giving off the odor rather than the flexible ductwork.

I hope it burns off because it might be a little colder at the lake we are heading too next week.

Good idea I think I will do that today.
