Hi
Due to waiting a week for British Gas to come to repair a leak on the radiator - only for them to arrive and say they haven't got the part and so I will have to wait till Monday, I purchased a Status 7-Fin Oil Filled Radiator so I didn't freeze to death.
I plugged it in last night and it stunk, so I put it outside on the step to air off for around two hours whilst on the highest setting, brought in but the smell was still like a rancid acrid oil.
I had it on low for around 8 hours and it didn't warm anything up, went cold really quickly and the smell is still lingering worse than ever. I am going to return it but in the meantime is there anything I can do to warm the house and get rid of this oil smell?
