What Should I Do If I Smell Gas Near My Oven?
If you smell gas near your oven, stop using it immediately and do not light matches, use switches, or run appliances. If the smell is strong, leave the area and call your gas utility's emergency line or emergency services from a safe location. Only after the situation is confirmed safe should a professional inspect the oven. SilverSpring OvenPro can inspect the oven once it is safe to do so.
Act on Safety First
Turn off the oven if you can do so safely and stop using it. Do not operate light switches, phones, or anything that could create a spark near the smell.
If the odor is strong or growing, leave the home and get to fresh air.
Contact the Right Help
From a safe location, call your gas utility's emergency line or emergency services. Follow their instructions before returning.
Do not attempt any gas repair, adjustment, or leak testing yourself.
Professional Inspection Comes Later
Once the utility or emergency responders confirm the area is safe, an oven professional can inspect and repair the appliance.
