How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you smell strong gas, immediately turn OFF all burners and the gas supply valve, ventilate the area, and avoid using electrical switches or open flames. Contact your gas supplier or a qualified technician.

  • Do not attempt DIY leak repair: Gas leaks require professional leak detection and repair using proper tools and leak detection solution.
  • Visual check only: You may visually inspect for obviously loose fittings or damaged flexible connectors, but do not tighten or disassemble gas connections unless you are licensed to do so.

Do not use the appliance until a professional has inspected and cleared it for safe operation.
