I've just had an oil stove installed and it works just fine except there is a smell of oil when it is running for a while...the installation seems ok..it was commissioned and there is plenty of ventilation in the room in which it's situated...there are no leaks of oil anywhere.....any suggestions would be welcome.

This is just a normal side effect from burning oil in a new stove. After a while, the smells will go away, kind of like a new car.
