I'm told that we need to wait to use the crib for several weeks to allow the finish to off-gas? That seems excessive to me.

We had no odor with ours. I just wiped it down with Lysol wipes, just to please my "clean freak" persona!

Why don't you girls contact the Amazon customer service line and see if they can tell you anything about this. It looks like a beautiful crib, but if it has that Prop 65 warning then it might be better to make sure before buying it. I tried calling a few numbers but I live in Germany and was not able to get through to someone, perhaps it is the time difference. If you get any answers please post them I would like to know, thanks!

read directions carefully; you are probably using too much fuel (squeezing trigger too quickly).

We've been running it since we got it. At first, we had it on medium, to clear the air. After that, which took no more than overnight, we set it to low and pretty much left it there. This has been about 3 weeks.

I guess I do not understand why you are turning the top to release the gas, so I cannot give you any suggestions other than to be sure to read and understand the directions.

Oh Stefanie, I'm so sorry I bought this for our second home, and we won't be there until Monday the 23rd. I would not want to make a "guess" as to the finish. I can respond then, if it's not to late for you. Kathy

In my experience of making food weekly for my daughter for 6 months straight, I didn't experience either of the above mentioned issues. I was always sure not to overfill the container during steaming (which I would guess would contribute to melting) and I always washed it promptly and allowed the unit to dry while washing the pieces (which may have helped ward off molding). However, I have no experience with the other product mentioned. I just know I'm very happy with my cuisinartbaby!! :)

your gas tank should be filled after each use so there is no room for condensation or air. This product is to keep gas from souring when left for extended periods of time.Are you sure that condensation is your issue?

I'd spread them out for the first couple weeks. They tend to make you a bit gassy at first. I've noticed it eased up after a week or so.

Hello! I'm not sure if its necessary or not but I did wait and I still love the mattress. I have it in my houseboat so waiting wasn't an issue. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

I just let it run till the gas was out. I don't plan on changing the oil till the beginning of the next season.

Until you hear an audible clunk sound, If you hold it after the clunking sound to long, the gas will overflow.

I have hidden heating elements and I have placed my sheet on the bottom. It may take longer to cook things but that is okay with me. I usually add five minutes to the cooking time.

I understand that it will take that long for it to stabilize fully from being compressed. We waited 2 days to be safe.

You can. But wait a few weeks till you put anything on the crib. Specially the baby. The smell is still there for a few weeks. Nothing strong but with a baby you cannot risk it.

It can't shut off the gas because the gas isn't running through the scale. You have to do it manually.

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.
