People with toddlers often keep the knobs off as a form of baby proofing, when the kiddos are tall enough to reach but not old enough to listen. It’s then easy to lose a knob that isn’t in the right place.
I completely forgot until now that my daughter used to steal the knob from our dishwasher on a near daily basis. I remember confiscating it one morning and accidentally bringing it to work in my pocket.
Yep. They also sell childproof knob covers for them, you have to pop open the lid to reach them.
I’m embarrassed it took a few times of the toddlers walking off with the knobs inside the covers before we realized we could just… not leave the knobs on. I blame the fact that they never slept more than 90 minutes at a time…
I think if you have young children you shouldn’t have a high end range like this (especially gas). A standard range with the knobs at the back where they’re much harder to reach would be a lot safer.

Oh, that’s brilliant! I guess its better to lose it all together than to give a toddler access to fire/a really hot thing

Sometimes people have kids after moving into a place/buying things, too.
