Gas Smell Troubleshooting Guides

If an Admiral oven or the surrounding room smells like gas, treat it as a possible leak: do not light the oven or cooktop, operate switches, use a phone indoors, or create any flame. Get everyone and pets outside immediately, then call the local gas emergency service or 911 from a safe location. Do not re-enter, move the oven, test a connector, relight the burners, or work on gas components until emergency responders or a qualified gas-appliance professional says it is safe.
