I just remembered a dangerous episode that happened with our current gas range and it's so-called 'improved" technology. 9_9

Unlike old gas ranges with a pilot light, where, when you turned the knob to gradually increase the gas to light it....the new stove has an electronic ignition, where, when you first turn the knob, the gas comes on full-blast and then when you turn the knob a bit further the igniter kicks-in (clicking) lighting the burner. Turn the knob all the way to low.

Well, when we were away from home for a brief trip to a store, our big dog jumped up, put his paw on the knob. pushing it in and turning it just enough so the gas came on...full-blast!!!!! YES!!!! O.o

We returned to a house filling up with natural gas!

This is a very tiny house ~400 square feet!

Thank GOD we weren't away from home for long!!!!

We now turn off ALL that we can when we're away for more than  few minutes...gas...water...everything!!!
