Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I have a Zanussi electric Hob and oven. Each time I use the hot plates, they give off quite a strong smell. It's not burnt food as I keep them clean, the smell comes from the hot plates themselves. It's hard to describe the smell, it's a bit like a metallic, chemical smell and I noticed when I drain food that has just boiled, it makes the food smell. I'm concerned about whether this is contaminating the food as I am 15 weeks pregnant. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm not sure how old the hob is as I am in a rented house, but I've been using it for around 6 months and it wasn't brand new when I moved into the property. Many thanks.
