1. You know you have a Class
ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to oper-
ate it.

If you smell gas, your installer
has not done a proper job of
checking for leaks. Connec-
tions can loosen in transit. If
the connections are not per-
fectly tight, you can have a
small leak and therefore a faint
gas smell. Finding a gas leak is
not a “do-it-yourself” proce-
dure. Some leaks can only be
found with the burner control
in the ON position.
Begin by insuring proper in-
stallation and servicing. Fol-
low the installation instruc-
tions provided with this prod-
uct. Have the cooktop installed
and grounded by a qualified
technician. Have the installer
show you where the gas shut-
off valve is located so that you
know how and where to turn
off the gas to the cooktop.
