How to Turn a Gas Oven Off
Operating your gas oven is much like operating any other oven. There are temperature controls that allow you to adjust the temperature your food will cook at. And, generally, the inside of a gas oven looks similar to an electric oven. One of the most basic operations you'll perform with your gas oven occurs when you learn how to turn a gas oven off when you finish cooking. However, just in case you can't turn your oven off, you should know how to shut off the gas valve to the oven.
-
Use the dial on the front of your oven to turn it off by turning the dial to the "Off" position.
