It isn't normal that the gas is smelled, when you open the oven button and press the ignition switch at the same time. Everything must be checked to assure that no leakage is occuring.
But,when you open the oven button and don't press the ignition button rapidly in order to ignite the gas in the oven, there is a brief moment in which some gas is released until the ignition occurs. On this sense, it is normal to smell some gas. However, a check out is recommended every three months.
