Burning Plastic Smell PEX Hot water heat

Recently installed baseboard hot water heat in my basement on separate zone from the rest of the house. When I turn the basement zone on a few times a week, I always get a burning plastic smell once the water is flowing and the room is warming. I used the special 3/4" PEX for hot water heating. Smell does really bother me just concerned there may be safety issues? Please let me know if anyone know if this is normal?
