How to deactivate a range/cooker when I am away

Hi, you can switch the breaker off at your panel.

You may also want to consider removing the knobs when you are not at home, they should pull off quite easily.

Hi the cooktop or range should have its own breaker in your electrical panel. if you turn that breaker off it will deactivate all power going to your appliance

Just find the range breaker in your electrical panel and shut that off

Hello,

You have 2 options. Either turn the breaker off for the range, or unplug the he range.

Is this a gas fired range or 40 amp electric or both?

How about putting your dog in a crate for the day so he is safe from any number of other more common things then the electric stove?

Likely more dangerous then the stove is chewing furniture (swallowing wood chips, eating carpet, bath mats, dish towels, etc), chewing cords for lamps or other appliances, etc.

I think the last thing to worry about is the stove.
