# FCS - What if I smell gas from a Gyro or Ergofocus Fireplace?

## Follow the steps below if you detect a gas odor from a Gyro or Ergofocus fireplace with a factory installed burner.

- Do not try to turn on the appliance.
- Do not touch any electrical switches
- Do not use any telephones in your building
- Immediately call a gas technician/supplier from a neighbors phone or a cell-phone outside
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department

 Installation and maintenance must be performed by a qualified installer.

With the gas off, verify that the track pipe and gas fitting were installed correctly

**LEAK TEST**

Switch on and check that there are no gas leaks from the supply to the burner 

1. Open gas shut-off valves
2. Apply enough leak test solution to each connection (circled in red in the diagram below). Hold a towel or rag under the joints to catch any spill-over
3. If there are leaks, bubbles will appear at the joints. Use a small mirror to see any hidden areas.  
     1. If a leak is detected, tighten the connection to the maximum torque at all 3 locations and repeat the test.
     2. After testing, thoroughly rinse all joints with water and dry.
