if it sounds wrong to you ask for a second opinion........no need to say "crap I knew it was wrong.........." after a problem starts
perhaps you can call the guys that sold the thing, I am way past done with the 'its normal ' line from installers/contractors......

CUT THE GAS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
there is no reason for a new stove to smell like gas.......unless you bought a VERY cheap model..ie.. under $225...
dont call the store, call the manufacturer and get their service guy out there...
If you did buy the cheapo model bring it back and get something worth a crap....

I've had both types of stoves/ovens and can tell you there should NEVER be a smell from the stove/oven when it's off. If you smell anything, shut it off at the switch and open some windows. While the stove/oven are in use, you might notice an odor during the burn/start but after a while one gets use to that at they go with an electric one.
Depending where the kitchen is located, one might want to consider having pocket/sliding doors installed, this would improve the chances to notice a leak (smell), they also could serve as a way to keep the heat in the kitchen as they (gas stoves/ovens) tend to run hotter than electric. Even with the doors closed while using, remember to keep the kitchen window open - yes, even in your winters.
If you have them for your renters, do yourself a favor and put an electric one in it's place (better to be safe than sorry). I had a place burn to the ground back in the 60's from a renter. Since then have made certain it's all electric. Learn from my mistake.
I agree 100%... When i was a kid my next door neighbor had a big fire as a result of faulty gas line. Ever since then i have been scared to death of them. I am sure they are generally safe when installed and used properly but they still give me serious anxiety when i am in a house with gas.
Definitley open the windows for the time being until someone gets over there to check it out.
I bought a gas stove at best buy 2 months ago for the new house and the installer told me that I would smell a little gas for the first few times that I used it. When he initially installed it we smelled alot of gas for 5 minutes then that subsided. Best Buy even has a seperate technician some in to install the gas line to the unit
