Is it normal to smell gas when first installing a gas stove? Kenmore model 71349?

I went and looked at your stove it is pilot-less and you should have no gas smells , did you replace the flex supply line ? they can get pin holes or damaged moving the stove in and out !also make sure the burner control knobs are off all the way because I had a few where someone brushed against the knob and called me for a gas leak and all it was a partially open valve and those burners need to be in a certain place to light so gas can p and not light . good luck you might have to call sears and tell them your problem and what you have done , we have 210 gas stoves here where I work and never got a bad one from the factory . oh one more thing check your shutoff valve sometimes they get loose and leak too if its there tighten up the nut on top of the handle , had them leak before after disturbing them !
