Answer:

Do not use a unit if there is a gas odor present when the unit is not in use.

  1. Turn the gas supply source off.
    • The gas shut-off valve can be almost anywhere within the home.
    • The valve should be within easy access and is usually found directly behind the unit, in an adjoining cabinet, or beneath the unit in the basement or crawl space.
  2. If the gas odor is still present even after turning the gas supply source off, contact the local gas supply or utility company.
  3. If a gas leak is confirmed, even without the presence of gas odor, discontinue use and contact Factory Certified Service.
    • Wolf cannot provide normal carbon monoxide levels as they vary based on where the reading is taken and the conditions in each home.
