Unusual plastic or chemical smell from a new Zwilling coffee maker during first uses.

Safety: Ensure good ventilation during initial uses.

• Initial cleaning: Run several full water-only brew cycles and at least one descaling cycle before making coffee.
• Clean removable parts: Wash water tank, carafe, filter basket, and any removable plastic parts with warm soapy water and rinse well.
• Monitor smell: The odor should diminish after a few uses. If it persists or is very strong, contact Zwilling support.
