Strong gas smell around the range when burners or oven are off.

Safety first: If you smell strong gas, do not operate any electrical switches or flames. Ventilate the area, evacuate if necessary, and shut off the gas at the main supply. Contact your gas supplier or emergency services if the smell is strong or persistent.

• Do not attempt major gas repairs: Gas leaks must be located and repaired by a qualified technician using leak detection solution and proper tools.
• Visual check: With gas off, inspect the flexible connector, regulator, and manifold connections for obvious damage.
• Professional service: Have a licensed technician tighten fittings, replace damaged lines, and verify leak-free operation with a manometer and leak solution.
