How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you smell strong gas, immediately turn off the oven and gas supply, ventilate the area, and avoid using electrical switches or open flames. Evacuate if the smell is intense.

  • Shut off gas: Turn off the gas shutoff valve to the oven.
  • Do not relight: Do not attempt to relight the oven until the source of the leak is identified and repaired.
  • Professional inspection: Contact a qualified gas technician or Dacor-authorized service to perform a leak test on all connections, regulator, and valves, and to verify proper ignition timing.

Warning: Gas leaks are extremely dangerous. Do not attempt DIY repairs on gas piping or valves unless you are licensed and trained.
