[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. For those who are curious, this is the stove that we have. It doesn’t require you to push in knobs to turn them, and brushing by them can turn them on. Thanks to folks who had advice.

Thanks for the picture OP.  
My suggestion, for now, is to use a sharpie to draw a line on the knobs indicating where the "off" position is.  That way it is easy to see from a distance if the knob is not in the "off" position.  I realize that won't be pretty, but it will be safer than the current predicament. [/quote]

Agreed that you should put some kind of indicator on your knob in the meantime. A sharpie or, do you know anybody who can cut out some vinyl for you with an arrow pointing up for off?

Or cut some blue painters tape and mark that up so you don’t have to mark up your knobs.

For my very basic, non-fancy stove you need to push the knob to light it, which then lets you turn the knob on. It would be extremely difficult to accidentally turn the gas on for which I’m thankful for.[/quote]
