How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Critical safety warning: If you smell strong gas, do not operate any electrical switches, do not use open flames, and evacuate the area. Close the main gas supply valve if it is safe to do so and call your gas supplier or emergency services.
- Do not attempt complex repairs: Gas leaks must be located and repaired by a licensed gas technician.
- Visual check (only if safe and no strong smell): With gas off, inspect the flexible hose and connections for obvious damage or looseness.
- Soap solution test (for professionals): A technician will apply a soap solution to joints and look for bubbles indicating leaks.
- Burner seating: Ensure all burner heads and caps are correctly seated to avoid unburnt gas escaping.
- Service call: Arrange immediate service from an authorized Glem Gas service center or licensed gas fitter.
