Gas smell around Siemens cooktop when not in use

Critical safety warning: If you smell gas, do not operate any electrical switches or create sparks. Open windows and doors immediately. Turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Evacuate the area if the smell is strong and contact your gas supplier or emergency services.

Do not attempt internal gas repairs yourself. A licensed gas technician should:

• Perform a leak test on all connections using an approved leak detection solution.
• Inspect the flexible gas hose and replace if cracked or damaged.
• Check the gas manifold and valves for leaks and replace faulty components.
