If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper
job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not
perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and,
therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-
it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON position and this
must be done by a qualified service technician. See
Warning, page 1.
