If the house was made for use with a gas range, it will have a vent to the outside, normally the roof.
If the installer didn't install it correctly, this could be an issue.
Also: Often new gas appliances have an oily smell for some time due to the factory (manufacturing processes). The oil should disappear after a period of annoyance.
If you smell rotten eggs (a warning gas added to natural gas so you'll know you have a leak), you should stop using immediately, and call the appliance company or an appliance repairman. Make sure they tell you they can do warranty work (no charge to you) or hunt for someone else.
Don't agree to pay $39 to have someone come to your house and tell you they do warranty repairs but this will cost $3000 to fix it, and then you can bill the appliance manufacturer (modus operandi for Frank Gay). I fell for this exactly once.
