Gas smell around the cooktop, especially when burners are off.

Safety first: Immediately turn off all burners and close the main gas supply valve. Do not operate electrical switches or create sparks. Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors.

• Step 1 – Evacuate if strong smell: If the gas smell is strong, leave the premises and contact emergency services and your gas supplier from outside.
• Step 2 – Do not attempt repairs yourself: Gas leaks must be located and repaired by a certified gas technician using proper leak detection equipment.
• Step 3 – Technician actions: A professional will check all connections with leak detection fluid, tighten or replace fittings, hoses, or valves, and perform a pressure test.

Do not use the cooktop again until a gas professional has confirmed it is safe.
