My new Hotpoint cooking appliance smells and smokes, is this normal?
New Hotpoint ovens and hobs can produce a pungent smell upon initial operation as the adhesives and coatings used during manufacturing process are being "burnt off". This is quite normal and any odours will be removed quickly
Ovens: Set the oven to its highest temperature and ensure the room is well-ventilated. Leave the oven on for 2 hours

The hotplates are coming on and off
All Indesit electric hotplates employ the same basic operation which is in order to regulate the temperature of the hotplates, a switch mechanism continually powers up the plates then switches them off after a pre-determined time span has elapsed. This enables the user to vary the temperature of the plates individually and is part of the normal operation of any electric hotplate.
