Why does the Xiaomi Instant Hot Water Dispenser have a plastic smell when unpacked?

The water tank of the Xiaomi Instant Hot Water Dispenser is made from food-grade AS material, and all water-contact components meet food-contact material standards. After production, the device is sealed in packaging, and the foam used is freshly produced, which can cause a slight odor in the sealed environment. To quickly dissipate the smell, remove the water tank, open the water tank cover, and let it sit for a few minutes. The odor will soon disappear.
Note:
1. This device's food-contact materials and components comply with local regulatory requirements;
2. Each device undergoes a boiling water inspection during production to ensure quality, which can leave minor residual water. This is normal and does not affect the functionality of the device.
