If you start smelling it, shut it off immediately and wait a while before using it again.

They can be reliable (I had a Silvertone CTC-15 clone in daily status for ~5 years) but always check and dip the cathode current with the lin/efficiency coil. Sam's usually has a typical and a max spec...Get too close to the max and you're on shaky ground.
