I'm not saying that it was but I'm struggling to understand how it happened in the first place. A hob is on the worktop whereas an oven is either below or at eye level. Either way, the control knobs for the hob and oven are not close to each other so I don't understand how it was possible to 'knock' the oven knob whilst turning off the hob.
There are lots of cookers where the knobs for the oven and the hobs are all in a row on the front.
I'm sure the OP wouldn't have deliberately risked the lives of her children and/or pets, and the loss of all her worldly goods just to get a fire door put in a bit quicker, that's psychopath behaviour!0 -
Another person with her knobs in a row here - I've managed to knock one round when turning another so can easily see how it could happen.0
