  1. Use the dial on the front of your oven to turn it off by turning the dial to the "Off" position.

  2. Press the "Off" button on the electronic keypad if you have an updated, electronic gas oven. If the gas oven won't turn off, you may need to shut off the gas line.

  3. Find the gas shutoff valve, usually located behind the stove.

  4. Turn the gas shutoff valve to the "Off" position.

Tips

Contact a service technician to find out why your gas oven didn't turn off appropriately before you turn the gas back on.
