How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Immediately turn off all burners and the main gas supply. Do not use electrical switches or open flames. Ventilate the area and evacuate if smell is strong.

- Leak detection: A qualified gas technician should apply a soap solution to all joints (regulator, manifold, hose connections) to check for bubbles indicating leaks.
